I left a reply but I accidentally hit something and I couldn’t te recover it and it was detailed and all.
Basically I had the 20.00 a month from main &Monroe and I ran a bill up to $800.00 and some change ,everything was fine the snow boots, the burgundy plaid tall boots,a set of gloves and hat to match and a red and black sweater coat for a pair of red tall boots that cost 259.00 dollars . I only wore them twice and I got so much attention when I had them on . I don’t wear my clothes over and over therefore they sat until the next time I wore them and I noticed some peeling and cracking when I thought was a spot on the tip of the boot I wiped it and the boot turned into a large peel
And I was upset because I was going to put a little red polish on it but it was larger and I called main&Monroe and explained and the lady said that they shouldn’t have been a problem and she would send me a return label and it would be there in a.few days and she apologized and said that I wouldn’t have to pay and she asked if there was anything else I wanted, I said no
Well I waited and waited until I had to call again but they said she wasn’t there but I knew she was
They never sent me anything. So that’s about it on my credit I don’t have no cars,no student loans, no housing and no credit cards. When I looked at my credit report there were things that I didn’t recognize and that’s worth looking into because it’s been awhile and well.over a year since I saw my credit report
