I called merrick bank after receiving a notice to cancel my card after 16 years with you, as I lost my job but was still making monthly payments, but due to merrick banks essisive charges it would push my monthly amout over the limit. I called and asked how and if I can get the card reopeded and the agent said yes if I paid $316 they will reopen the account, I borrowed and paid $350 direct, a few days later I called to confirm paymnet received and was told that payment was received but they will not reopen the account. I asked for a supervisor and explained as I did to you, she said she will listen to the tape and call me back. After no call back I called merrick back they doid confirm the fdcpa violations but said nothing will be done to correct it. Robert wheaton [protected]
