I received a CFNA account through Firestone when I bought tires. I was just going to put the tires on a credit card, but I made the mistake of being talked into the Firestone Autopass card account, which is through CFNA. I paid the tires off in 4 payments, and thought that was the end of it. But it wasn't. I soon received an invoice for $.02. That's right, 2 cents! Apparently it was an interest charge. Since I had just sent in my payment, I just sort of figured that they would cancel this out. Boy was I wrong! The next month I received a form letter telling me that my 2 cent payment was late, and had now gone up to a whopping 3 cents! So I wrote them a check for 3 cents and sent it in. Now, 2 years later, I ran my credit report -- these jerks reported the late payment of the 2 cents on my credit! I can't believe that I now have a substantial ding on my credit because of a lousy 2 cents! I will never accept another card issued by CFNA.
