Complaint narrative:
Opened a Kohls Credit Card account through the checkout process at the store. Misunderstood that that transaction would be applied to the credit account. Did not activate credit card when it came in the mail. Attempts by Kohls to contact me via phone about late payment resulted in technically phone issues in which I recieved only static on the other end. Calling back always went to a generic customer service line. I assumed they were calling about activating the card, not trying to collect a late payment. The payment amount was only {$15.00}. Paying it would have not been a problem. 
I got an alert that my credit dropped over XXXX points, so I contacted them. They said they would fix it and close the account, but instead, left a {$1.00} balance on the account, which I was again, unaware of. 
Then my credit was hit AGAIN. OVER {$1.00}. 
So I went from a credit score of XXXX to XXXX. 
Over {$15.00}??? 
I got them to close the account, at least according to them. 
However, attempts to have them remove the delinquent report have failed. 

This is just bad service, and nuking someone's credit over XXXX like this is absolutely pitiful. I always pay everything on time and honestly prefer to pay things in full. The fact that my credit can be absolutely torched over this should be illegal.
