On Thursday XX/XX/XXXX, I had contacted Macy 's credit card company to try and take care of a charged off account that I had with them. The rep stated that the account has past statutes of limitations, and that I could attempt to mail a payment in full ; however they couldn't confirm that it would do anything to the balance. I'd like to preface this complaint that I had no intentions of having this account ever go delinquent. We were faced with a really difficult family issue which consumed a good portion of our savings which was tragically followed by a loss of family income. We are trying everything we can to get back on our feet, and I was taken back that the rep had informed me that nothing can be done due to the account being past these statutes. I am concerned that I can not even try to work directly with Macy 's to satisfy the account.
