YOUR BILLING RIGHTS: KEEP THIS DOCUMENT FOR FUTURE USE
This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act.
In Case of Errors or Questions about Your Bill
If you think your bill is wrong or if you need more information about a transaction on your bill, write us (on a separate sheet) at: Disputes Dept Citizens, PO Box 2988 Omaha, NE 68103-2988, as soon as possible. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent you the first bill on which the error or problem appeared. You can telephone us at 1-888-522-9881 but doing so will not preserve your rights. In your letter, give us the following information:
Your name and account number
The dollar amount of the suspected error
Describe the error and explain, if you can, why you believe there is an error. If you need more information, describe the item you are not sure about. You do not have to pay any amount in question while we are investigating, but you are still obligated to pay the parts of your bill that are not in question. While we investigate whether or not here has been an error the following are true:
We cannot try to collect the amount in question or report you as delinquent on that amount
The charge in question may remain on your statement and we may continue to charge you interest on that amount.
What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter
When we receive your letter, we must do two things:
Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error or explain why we believe the bill is correct.
After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen:
If you receive our explanation but still believe your bill is wrong, you must write to us within 10 days telling us that you still refuse to pay. If you do so, we cannot report you as delinquent without also reporting that you are questioning your bill. We must tell you the name of anyone to whom we reported you as delinquent, and we must let those organizations know when the matter has been settled between us.
If we do not follow all of the rules above, you do not have to pay the first $50 of the amount you question even if your bill is correct.
Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Line of Credit Purchases
If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your line of credit and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the Retailer, you may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on the purchase.
To use this right all of the following must be true:
(1) the purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing address, and the purchase price must have been more than $50;
(2) you must have used your line of credit for the purchase; and
(3) you must not yet have fully paid for the purchase.
If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing at: Citizens Pay, PO Box 2360, Omaha, NE 68103.
While we investigate, the same rules apply to the disputed amount as discussed above. After we finish our investigation we will tell you our decision. At that point if we think you owe an amount and you do not pay we may report you as delinquent.
How much to pay: You must pay at least the minimum amount due by the payment due date. You may pay the entire balance at any time. Any amount past due must be paid immediately.
