I placed an order on Jan. 5 with Dell, they turned my credit down and would not tell me why. I called and talked to a credit mgr and demanded to know why, they would only say I would get a letter from their credit reporting Co. When I did not get the letter I called again and demanded the name and address of their credit reporting agency. I got it and called them. On their report I had 12 good references and No bad marks. I called Dell again and demanded an answer while telling them I no longer wanted a Dell and would never want a Dell because of their bussiness practices. A month later I got a letter stating they turned me down because they could not determine if I was who I said I was, which I know was a cover for age discrimination. My name and address in in the phone book and appeared on their Caller I D and was the address on the credit report. I have complained to the Atty. Gen of Texas and the Fed's who over see lending practices. I am 70 years old and I think they were afraid they would have to collect from and estate. Dell had gotten to big for their pants and you can look for them to decline like all bussines who mistreat their customers.
