Consumers need to be aware of Home Depot's billing practices and utter contempt for their customers. I have a credit card from them I rarely use due to their high interest rates of 26%. I purchased a $15.48 item in Feb.2015. I went in and changed my email address on March 8,2015 before the bill was due on March 26,2015. I don't remember all my purchases every month on my cards and rely on statements to pay. I noticed in may 2015 my credit score went down and saw it was Home Depot. I contacted them and the $15.48 charge had now turned into $67. I advised them I never got a statement for any of March or April. My credit score dropped 37 points! They insisted they sent it to my new email address.I told them something is wrong w/ your system then because I never got any statements. I spoke w/ an account exec who also insisted they sent the statements to my new email address. I filed a complaint w/ the Consumer Protection agency (US Gov) and Home Depot's Exec. Response Team responded w/ a letter from someone named Michelle Moffitt saying they would remove the late charges but not the credit bureau late pays.She also insisted the statements were sent to my new email address and said they confirmed they were not undeliverable! Last night I went into my account under edit account and they had my new email address but under Citi Alerting Service Preferences they had my old email address which alerts you to your statements and payment notices. I called Home Depot again today and said you didn't change my email address for your alerting service as I have a copy of the page showing my old address. They literally told me that was my responsibilty to go into my account and get my bills and they didn't have to send bills as that was just a courtesy.WTF! I said I would have never changed to paperless billing if I knew that and risked my credit score.They should notify their customers changing your email address will not help you to get your bills as you have to change your alert service also. They take no responsibilty for not informing their customers of this deceitful practice and therefore get late fee and ruin your credit. I will never set foot in another Home Depot again let alone buy anything!

Going to the store is a waste of time!

The store doesn't have anything to do w/ your email addresses and credit card account so thanks for the useless info. I have been to the top w/ this and the crux of the matter is there is something wrong w/ their system when you change your addess. I printed a copy of my alerts last night again and it shows the statement went to my old address including the date and time.Called Home Depot again and now they say it was my responsibility to go into my account and change my alert preferences. Who knew that? My May statement shows it going to my old address. Even though my account says it was sent to my old address including the date and time, Home Depot still says they sent it to my new address? The point is people who change their email address won't really change it until you go into the alert preference and Home Depot will not acknowledge this error and dings your credit and charges late fees when you don't even receive your statement. They argued endlessly the statement was sent to my new email and it wasn't and they refused to correct my credit report even w/ evidence. I don't need or want a credit card company that refuses to correct their errors and fail to inform a customer they have to go through other steps to actually change their email address!

wasting your time

 I previously had issues, but going to the store and explain exactly what happened. the store manager credit me back the interest charges of 28 dollars. And on top of it it was my fault, because i had totally forgot to change my home address with Home depot credit services. Im from Florida, and had also the same good service in New Jersy Home Depot stores. I strongly recommand that you head to the store and get this fixed instead of waisting your time on social media!!!
