A Home Depot charge tagged with Huntsville, TX on your bank or credit card statement almost always points to a purchase processed or fulfilled by Home Depot store #6578 at 215 Interstate 45 N, Huntsville, TX 77320, reachable at (936) 439-0200.1JELD-WEN Locations. The Home Depot #6578 – Huntsville, TX The location on your statement reflects where the transaction was processed, not where you were when you bought something, so a charge from a town you’ve never set foot in is not automatically fraud.
Why a Store You Never Visited Can Show Up
Home Depot fulfills a large share of its online orders directly from stores rather than a central warehouse.2Supply Chain Dive. Home Depot Distribution Centers Fulfill Pro Orders If the Huntsville store packed or shipped your online order, its location can appear as the merchant on your statement.
A few other explanations are worth ruling out first:
- Someone else authorized on the card (spouse, family member, employee) made the purchase.
- A special order, deferred-delivery item, or recurring charge posted days or weeks after you placed it.
- You bought something online and forgot the fulfillment location.
Check your email for a Home Depot order confirmation around the charge date, look through recent receipts, and ask anyone with access to your card before escalating.
How to Confirm What the Charge Was
If you still can’t place it, call Home Depot customer service at 1-800-HOME-DEPOT (1-800-466-3337). Live chat is also available through the Customer Service Center on the company’s site.3The Home Depot. Home Depot FAQ A representative can pull up the transaction using your card details and tell you what was bought, when, and where it was fulfilled.
If the charge sits on a Home Depot-branded credit card (issued by Citibank), the Credit Center line for consumer accounts is 1-866-875-5488.3The Home Depot. Home Depot FAQ On that account, any billing dispute must be submitted in writing within 60 days of the statement date; if the issuer confirms an error, you aren’t responsible for the amount or related interest.4The Home Depot / Citibank.

Disputing the Charge If It’s Unauthorized
Once you’re sure no one with access to your card made the purchase, federal law is on your side. The Fair Credit Billing Act caps your liability for unauthorized credit card charges at $50, and most issuers waive that amount entirely.5Federal Trade Commission. Using Credit Cards and Disputing Charges You have 60 days from the statement that first showed the charge to file a formal dispute.
Call the number on the back of your card right away to report the suspected fraud. Most issuers will freeze the card and send a replacement while they investigate. Then put the dispute in writing:
- Send a letter to the address designated for billing inquiries, not the payment address. Include your name, account number, and a description of the charge, with copies of any supporting documents.
- Use certified mail with a return receipt so you have proof of delivery.
- The issuer must acknowledge the dispute within 30 days and resolve it within 90 days (two billing cycles).
- While the investigation is pending, you don’t have to pay the disputed amount, and the issuer can’t report you as delinquent or send that portion to collections.5Federal Trade Commission. Using Credit Cards and Disputing Charges
When It Might Be More Than One Bad Charge
Sometimes a single unfamiliar charge is the first sign of a stolen card number being tested, or of broader identity theft. If you see multiple unauthorized charges, or you have other reasons to think your personal information is compromised, go further than disputing the one transaction:
- Report identity theft to the FTC at IdentityTheft.gov or 1-877-438-4338 for a step-by-step recovery plan.6USAGov. Identity Theft
- Place a fraud alert or credit freeze with one of the three major bureaus: Equifax (1-800-525-6285), Experian (1-888-397-3742), or TransUnion (1-800-680-7289). Contacting one is enough; it must notify the other two.7Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Credit Card and Debit Card Fraud
- File a report with local law enforcement and keep a copy. Your bank and the credit bureaus may ask for it.
- Report the fraud to Home Depot. The company advises customers who suspect fraud to call their bank to verify account changes and, for internet-related scams, to report the incident to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov.8The Home Depot. Fraud and Security Center
Act on the 60-day clock either way. Even if the Huntsville charge turns out to be your own forgotten order, confirming it quickly costs you nothing; waiting past the FCBA window on a real fraud can cost you your dispute rights.
