Lowe's - Credit Denied |

Katherine of Monrovia, MD (07/01/04):
The situation was ultimately resolved by their giving my husband a credit card with a limit of $11,000. He was not asked to provide proof of employment, whereas the woman on the phone refused to believe that I was employed unless I faxed her a paystub. While I was technically not denied credit, I was denied sufficient credit to make the purchase. But they were perfectly willing to grant this amount to a man with the same financial history. Mustafa of Fairview NJ writes (8/19/02):
Charles of Sharon MA (6/30/02):
Local store customer service rep has been extremely helpful and he has made repeated calls, even speaking to supervisors, with no effect. I even asked for a letter from Monogram stating that the original credit limit was $1500 and was reduced to $ 500 before the refrigerator was paid for and they refused. From 1995-98 we were part of a credit counseling program to help get our finances in order after several years of personal family problems. When we withdrew from the program regretfully we found out some very negative things about being part of the program. While we were part of the prgram and making payments that were agreed on with businesses they were continuing to turn in negative reports to credit bureaus because of reduced payments. We had several things show up as much as 24 months behind because we were making reduced payments. This was the reason we withdrew from the program to try and set out to catch up payments and improve our credit. the refinancing of our home and susequent pay-off of several accounts was approaching the end of a 3 year effort to this end, only to have Monogram pull this "trick". It seems that I the customer am at the mercy of whatever the business wants to do and it takes me years to get corrected what they can do in one day. It's disgusting and demoralizing. "K" of Saltillo MS (7/8/02):
Susan of Swartz Creek MI (6/3/02):
Then I tried to get help through Credit Counseling. That in itself was a joke! My only recourse, was to file for bankruptcy. My attorney advised that I keep my Sears card as well as my Credit Union acct. Also, my rent was kept up to date. The bankruptcy was a desperate measure. That will have been 8 yrs in Sept '02. Since then, I have purchased a decent car from my credit union (after I repaid that loan), and also have good enough credit TO PURCHASE A HOME! Without my Sears credit, I was still in the 90 percent bracket for a home loan for $95,000! I am wondering why my ex-husband's faults are still being plagued upon me by this company? Just for the record, please check my credit report for the past 7 1/2 yrs. There is no slow pay or lack of payment ... nor do I send minimum payments to any of my creditors. After 7 yrs the bankrupcy was supposed to be off from my record ... and not public knowledge. Teresa of Madisonville KY (1/22/01):
