Describe what you believe is wrong and why you believe it is a mistake. You must contact us within 60 days after the error appeared on your statement. You must notify us of any potential errors in writing. You may call us, but if you do we are not required to investigate any potential errors and you may have to pay the amount in question.

While we investigate whether or not there 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. But, if we determine that we made a mistake, you will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or other fees related to that amount.

***While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of your balance.

  • We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit.

Information About Payments:

You may at any time pay, in whole or in part, the total unpaid balance without any additional charge for prepayment. Payments received after 5:00 PM (ET) on any day will be credited as of the next day. Credit to your account may be delayed up to five days if payment is not made online through LSFpayment.com, or (a) is not received at the payment address, (b) is not made in U.S. dollars drawn on a U.S. financial institution located in the U.S., (c) is not accompanied by the remittance coupon attached to your statement, (d) contains more than one payment or remittance coupon, (e) is not received in the remittance envelope provided or (f) includes staples, paper clips, tape, a folded check or correspondence of any type.

Credits To Your Account:

An amount shown in parenthesis is a credit or credit balance unless otherwise indicated. Credits will be applied to your previous balance immediately upon receipt, but will not satisfy any required payment that may be due.

Credit Reports and Account Information:

If you believe that we may have reported inaccurate information about you to a consumer-reporting agency, please contact us at 28675 Northline Rd. Romulus, MI 48174. In doing so, please identify the inaccurate information and tell us why you believe it is incorrect. If you have a copy of the credit report that includes the inaccurate information, please include a copy of that report. We may report information about your account to credit bureaus.
