Complaint narrative:
I contacted XXXX in mid XXXX to cancel my credit card. They confirmed there was {$0.00} balance and cancelled the card easily. 2 months later I get an email from credit karma telling me that an account I have is delinquent. I have an XXXX credit score so Im shocked. I realize its discover. I call them immediately and make the payment. I assume they will fix this issue because I had cancelled the card and figure its some type of error on their end. Total charge was {$26.00}. I called XXXX today to get this delinquent reporting removed from my account and here is what they tell me : XXXX ) when I called there was no balance and they agreed thats what the agent told me. 
XXXX ) supposedly the very next day, they realize oh wait there is a balance and also my account is linked to an old bank account that I had closed since I hadnt used this card in years. 
XXXX ) XXXX NEVER CALLED ME AGAIN to tell me that I had a delinquent account. Zero. Never ever called. The lady on the phone said thats because I enrolled in e-statements. I explained to her that I didnt look at any e-statements because I had closed the account and been told there was no balance. So why would I login and look and an e statement?!

4 ) XXXX never texted me to let me know I was delinquent XXXX ) discover claims they sent me a letter in the mail but I never received this letter. I dont think they actually sent it because my account was closed and they had some error in their side. 
XXXX ) XXXX will not correct the reporting to the credit bureau for a {$26.00} delinquent balance which they never told me about. 
XXXX ) I as the consumer now have my credit score dropped by XXXX points to XXXX because I cancelled a card that I wasnt using and then mysteriously the very next day there was a balance. 
8 ) why wouldnt XXXX call or text me to let me know?

9 ) why wouldnt I get multiple letters telling me I would be reported delinquent?

10 ) there is a very clear break down of diligent communication to customers and it seems borderline negligent. I would suggest investigating XXXX communication practices to consumers after accounts have been cancelled. I suspect I am not the only person where this is an issue. 
XXXX ) I would like XXXX to report my {$26.00} delinquent payment as current due to having cancelled this card with a {$0.00} balance and never being told I was delinquent. Again the only reason I found out is because credit karma emailed me and told me. I never got an email, text, or phone call about a delinquent account. Supposedly XXXX sent a letter but I never got that either. Very possible we threw it away because XXXX mails us like XXXX per month for other nonsense. Very very frustrating that years of hard work on credit can be blown by a XXXX  error like this.
