Did not receive ANY communication regarding overdue payment from Macy 's credit card, nor notice of it having been sent for collection. I only became aware of the debt upon taking my credit report. When I called Macy 's credit card and asked about this, pointing out that although I had moved, I had mail forwarding in place, I was told that Macy 's does not allow the post office to forward their mail -- they must instead return it to Macy 's. I was told that this practice is legal because it is stated in the original agreement. 
I do not understand how a company is allowed to have a practice that clearly makes it impossible for them to notify a customer who has moved about possible overdue payments. I had no recollection of owing money to Macy 's, and in addition to not receiving a reminder letter I have not received any phone calls ( my number has not changed ) or e-mails to that effect either ( I do, however, still get Macy 's ads and member deal reminders via e-mail ). 
My credit score has suffered considerably as a result of the lack of communication from Macy 's. I am in the process of buying a house, and a small debt -- less than a {$100.00} -- will now likely cost me thousands of dollars in higher mortgage rates. I find this entirely unfair, as I would obviously have paid the bill if I had know it existed.
