Bad Macys!

Just pulled my TU and EQ FICOs, as well as my TrueCredit 3-in-1 report today, and my Macy's TL is showing a balance of $85.  I always PIF before the statement date (the 21st of the month), so I was surprised to see a balance on the TL. 

 

Logged onto my account on macys.com and checked the last three statements (Oct, Sept and Aug)... all had zero balances on them.  Don't know where they came up with the $85.  I've only made one charge since the 21st, and it was more than $85....

You mean that you paid before the 21st, but you wound up with a balance on the 10/21 statement anyway? If there's a $0 balance on the statement, but there's $85 showing on your credit reports, it sounds like they updated you twice. Discover does this occasionally.

If it's messing up your scores (too many accounts with balances, higher util or something), you could try calling and asking them to report yet again with the $0 balance.

Normally Citi doesn't sit on payments, so that's pretty odd.

Re: Bad Macys!

HTSU, yes, I paid the Macy's balance down to zero before the 21st, but all of my reports are showing some unexplained $85 balance (none of my charges add up to that).

 

Fortunately, it isn't affecting my score (2 out of 7 revolving accounts with balance, only 1% UTIL), but it's just a little confusing.

 

I logged into my account, and the current balance matches my last purchase, so I don't think it's from an unauthorized charge.  I'm sure it will clear up, I just can't figure out how the balance could report.

Re: Bad Macys!

I think I'd call and ask them where it came from. If it was part of the balance that you PIF'd, then somehow it's being charged to you twice. Maybe someone in the store ran it through twice, no idea.

But I can see this thing popping up over and over, and you having to play credit whack-a-gator while trying to get it fixed. Reason enough for a call to CS. Smiley Tongue
