Macy's missed payment

We haven't missed a payment on a credit card in years - somehow a paperless statement from Macy's got missed and we missed a payment. The very next month before we were aware of the missed payment, and before we could make the back missed payment, Macy's sent us to collection. As we are just refinancing our house, this lowered one of our credit scores over 50 points, and will cost us over $30, 000 dollars for the life of the loan. Macy's refuses to fix our credit account, and the bad thing is it made us so mad we cancelled our Macy's account - I'm sure that will further screw our credit score. Macy's is now a four letter word in our household. Don't get a Macy's credit card - it can come back to haunt you, as the 10% saved by opening the account can cost you big time in the end. Macy's Christmas spirit is bah humbug

Well I guess you are a very organized person - I use major credit card to pay for most all of my purchases and have a very simple pay plan - just pay the credit card bill. Our mistake is that Macy's opened 5 different credit cards for me and my wife - with five different numbers at five different stores. We have now cancelled all our little retail store cards as they don't provide the real time service that our American Express, Visa does - I have never ever had a problem with American Express or Visa - they are there for me and help me deal with minor problems as they arise. They also alert me to a potential problem Maybe you don't have any money, and don't have but two bills a month.I have also never gotten unemployment and have been self employed since I was 5 years old, so I am not an idiot about money. Sorry if I trash your beloved Macy's, but I have been making every payment on time for over 30 years - By the way, do you keep gas mileage on your car? Because if you know every bill you owe each month, you must know your mileage down to the tenth of a mile, and I quit figuring mileage in 1990

I am having the same exact experience! I never realized I had more than one account with them! Here is a copy of a letter I wrote to them today. We are about to either refinance or purchase a new home, and I have excellent credit. Don't need Macy's messing me up.

To Macy's:
I have had a terrible experience with my Macy's American Express, and am prepared to cancel all of my Macy's accounts. I received a call today informing me that my account is over 60 days past due and that I have been reported to a credit bureau. I was not aware that I was behind.

1) I was not aware I have two accounts, store and AmEx - I never knowingly signed up for an extra account!
2) I have not received bills for the AmEx and did not know I was two months overdue. I made a payment last month on a Macy's account, so thought I was good.
3) I received a call that because I am overdue, I am being reported to a credit agency. I was not notified prior to this that there was an outstanding balance. Why was I not contacted earlier by phone or email? I did not deliberately maintain an overdue balance.

I have spent thousands of dollars at Macy's in the last several months. You used to be my department store of choice. I just attempted to pay the full balance of the AmEx online. I will call the credit department and cancel all my accounts once balances are registered as zero. I do not need this threat to my excellent credit rating, and expected to be treated better, as a loyal Macy's customer. If any accounts were overdue it was because of the very confusing Macy's financial dealings. I am very very disappointed. I would like to be contacted to be assured that my credit rating will not be affected and that any late fees are credited. Please contact me, at least initially, by email. I have wasted entirely too much time on the phone on my weekend.

Macy's approving a credit card with a fraud alert

On Nov 16 2010 I received a call from Macys that someone called to increase my credit limit on my credit card and it did not make sense to Macys since had not used my card in several years. They marked the account as fraud and put it on hold.

On Nov 23 unknow to me Macys reopened the card to the identiy theif and lifted the fraud alert with out calling me and gave the woman the charge number. I ask myself why would you do that Macy's don't you think if you already know it is FRAUD why would you give her the number...She then charged $1, 100 over the next several days at several different Macy's, even going in to exchange her purchases to get just the right gifts for her family...maybe even gift wrapped...bring with her a fake license that did not match my application to stores that were 100 miles from my home...still no call to my house...

I have had life lock for 4 year and by now I have had a fraud alert at the credit beurau for several days...but still Macys could not figure this out...

The kicker...I get a call on 11/26 from Macys to see if I will approve opening up a credit card...I said to the man...my card is on a fraud alert on hold...why would I want to open a new card...why are you calling me...did you not see from my social security number whick the criminal has given you that I have a account on hold...and that is when it hit me...I said did she finish charging up my account and now wants a new one...and they said Oh, yes ...you...meaning the real me just went to Miami, Floriada and spent several days buying clothing...and I said no you Macy's just gave away $1, 150 of merchandise...I had nothing to do with this...

Macys...says they can not do anything because they can't figure out what was stolen yet...their computers could not figure it out...their employees had to have their nice weekends with their familes...while I had to work the phones calling police agencies...yes, I must file 4 different police reports because she went to several different stores...but Macys said this was no big deal...and they can't do anything about it, it was not their fault...they did everything right...

Please close all of your store credit cards...and get life lock...
I have learned my lesson...please don't be like me...because guess what...next they went to Home Depto...same thing...account closed...they reopened it and got the number from the desk...Home Depto stopped them at $2, 000 but that is another 3 police reports...

And now I have to worry about who they will try to scam next...

I pray everyone will listen to me...I pray that my misfourtune will be a lesson to all...these scam people went to Peir one, Kohls and so far they were stopped...if you don't have credit at a store and you have life lock it will stop them but if you do have credit at a store...with fake Id and you social security # they can get in...

I believe my Id was stolen at the doctors or hospital when I went to Miami or where I live...

Lastly, to the first Macys person who alerted me to the fraud...you were wonderful...to the few who really held my hand I thank you...to the fool who did not call me when the fraud alert was on my account and the scamers were reopening my account and then charging 100 miles from my house with a drivers license that did not match my application...I hope they get you someday so you learn what this is like because only then will you not be so ready to lift a fraud alert...what were you thing...are you fools...or just stupid!

Good luck

Macy's terrible customer service

I tried to purchase four pairs of shoes over the phone. I called Macy's Herald Square store because I was told that this store had all four pairs of shoes. No one answered the phone in the shoe department despite the fact that I called several times over two days and let the phone ring over 5 minutes each time. An operator finally connected me to an "inside line" that he assured me that someone would pick up but no one did. Finally, I called the manager's office and was told that the manager was away "at lunch." I left my number and asked for a call back. No one ever did. I shared my horrible experience with macy's.com customer service but no one there has responded either. Obviously, they just don't care and certainly don't need my business. After years of being a loyal customer, I have decided that I will no longer shop at Macy's or support this department store. There are better stores (such as Nordstrom's) that deserve my business.

I am a true lover of Macy's have only shopped there for many yrs. but yesterday drove 50 miles with a trailer to get what I was told the top of line Macy's mattresses Hotel collection in plush. It is the end of the yr. clearance but was told it is the best. I explained I have had lung surgery & osteoarthritis & a bad neck, so have limited position I can sleep in & need a very soft mattress, it is impossible to just lay on a mattress for a couple min's & see if it is right. I was told because it was a clearance there was no guarantee on the mattress. I have a plush in Fl it is wonderful & did not cause me back & hip pain when I wake. We slept on this supposed to be best over Stearns & Foster plush last night & got pains everywhere immediately, even my shoulder & ribs were hurting. I am so upset, called the store they will do nothing even though we have had it for one night. Even though it was on clearance it was still a major expense. I think they should do something for me as this bed is really hotel the one's you cannot sleep on ! I cannot believe they claim it is their best. I could cry I should have waited & ordered one I knew would really be plush but was in a hurry to get out of pain & stop taking pain pills. Do not buy hotel collection it is NOT the best. I wouldn't even say it is middle of the line. I spend hundreds a yr. at Macy's & think they should take it back as this mattress must be faulty or it had the wrong sticker on it instead of plush it should say firm. If you look up my account you would see I am one of your best customer's & am very upset. Nancy Ainsworth

I bought a dining room set from macys. When I discovered the tiny gorges and scratches on the table I contacted Macys, and the worry no more insurance company since I was still under warranty and had purchased the proteciton plan. Well I really got screwed. Worry no more says they cant fix the scratches or gorges because the lamination on the table has not been compromised.(meaning the table was delivered in that condition.) Macys refuses to honor the warranty. Their company came and they said repairing the table could make the damage worse. What do I do now?

Macy's - ridiculous on-line bill pay

Macy's credit cards and the so-called customer service reps that work there are worthless! I tried to pay my bill on-line in advance of the due date, and it told me I had a $0 balance and no payment was due. I was certain I had written down the right payment date in my calendar, so I called the customer service number on the back on my card, and again, I...

Macy's false report to credit bureau

When checking my credit report, I found I had one "negative account status". you guessed it macy's. here is what my credit report dated 10/19.2010 states. (take note of the dates)
date reported 10/2010;
date of last payment 10/2010
Balance $210
Are you ready for this? I have the bill in my hand. it is dated october 28, 2010 and the payment due date is november 28, 2010.
How can this be overdue and why did macy's report this to the credit bureau? here is the killer-I have been a macy's charge customer since 1968 (not a typo) and never a credit problem with them... time to close it. can anyone explain why macy's is doing this? do they do this to everyone before the bill is due?

If it was reported on 10/2010 then it was based on a previous bill - you need to go backwards starting from September, not your October invoice.
If it was a legitimate mistake by Macy's, they can remove it from your file at the credit bureau.

Macy's harrasting phone calls

I owed $75 to Macy's on a revolving account that was due 10/4. I received a series of phone calls beginning around 10/8 that became daily until 10/18 about this past due bill. I could not understand the persons calling, nor could my husband when he took the call. Federal law requires a meaningful disclosure from the debt collector which I was not given, because the person spoke little English. I considered the calls harassing when I had never received so much as a 30-day late notice. This pro-active debt collection practice using staff who cannot speak Enlish puts Macy's at risk of violating federal debt collection practices.

I always pay my credit card debt in full and on time. I have a long standing relationship with Macy's as a customer with an exemplary record. I received a harassing phone call from Macy's today (New Year's Day) because I was a few days late on a $20 bill. I never received the bill, but I understand that out of the many bills I pay every year, one can get away. The representative was very assertive and pressured me to pay the bill over the phone. I canceled my Macy's account and paid the bill on-line. I am very disappointed with Macy's aggressive pursuit of debtor, even when the debt is minor and the customers has an outstanding record.

Macy's do not use online pay service

Do not use Macy's online bill pay! They say you can pay no more than the amount of your bill - however the number is re-entered from the online system. Instead of being charged $69.84 the amount they charged my bank was $69, 384.00!

I had my bank stop payment and then called Macy's. They apologized and promised I would be charged no late fees, a paper bill would be right in the mail, and my account would be closed. A few days later I got a second overdraft notice from my bank - after the error was identified Macy's attempted to process the payment a 2nd time! At this point I spoke to a manager who told me this was all my fault! Regardless of me identifying the error he said it was their process to run the charges twice. He was rude and completely dismissed any concerns I had about them sending me to collections.

It is now a month later - I called Macy's AGAIN because no bill had been received. Found that not only did I have a fee for a returned check but my account was open and no bills were being sent. At this point the bank fees and Macy's fees are more than the original bill!

The woman on the phone actually had to ask why I was closing the account. I will never shop at Macy's again.

Mycheckfree just failed to make 2 payments. It has been turned into my credit report already. I have used this service for over 15 years and Macy’s nor Mycheckfree will admit guilt and will not correct it. Macy’s has lost a customer.

I respectfully disagree and customers need to take responsibilities for their actions. Why are you blaming Macy's when it's your fault? You made the decision to use mycheckfree. Mycheckfree is a payment services company that Macy's contracted with until they had their website setup.

I concur, Macy's credit card service is horrible. There was a discrepancy between Macy's and mycheckfree.com on what my balance is. I called Macys and they told me i had a balance of zero and that I don't owe anything. Yet mycheckfree kept on sending me debt letters in which they also told me I don't have a balance. After a month of receiving multiple letters I contacted Macys and asked why I kept getting these letters only to find out I have a balance with late fees.. The manager I spoke with blame me for not paying hte bills. They have the worst service ever. This will be my last time shopping with MAcys via the credit card service.

Macy's warranty scam

10/14/10

My Wife and I purchased a sofa and Love-seat in 2007 from Macy's furniture in Schaumburg, Chicago. We were told by the sales person Evelyn Chua that the extended warranty we purchased would cover all pen/pencil/marker stains & tears etc. So we paid for the extended warranty and was given the impression that the 7 year warranty would cover everything. We were told that if the salesperson was in our place she would buy the extended warranty. We were not told of any other limitations that the warranty would be void under else we would not have purchased it if we knew that multi-colored stains are not covered. Now after 3 years when 7-8 days ago, my 2 year old got hold of some markers and pens and scribbled over the sofa and love-seat and when we called macy's customer service who forwarded us to worry-no-more/Uniters, they denied our claim saying multi-colored marks are not covered under the warranty. They told us that the terms and conditions document mentioned not covering multi-colored stains. The terms and conditions document was not given to us not along with the sales receipt but at the end of the transaction inside a box what the salesperson casually said was a complimentary kit which we really did not need for 3 years and not that it contained important information about the terms and conditions. On calling Uniters, they made it as difficult as possible for us to register the complaint. We were given the run-around between Uniters customer service and their supervisors. Macy's washed their hands off the whole issue saying the matter is between me and Uniters when in fact we not not told that the extended warranty was from a third party at the time of purchasing it. We were made to run from pillar to post between macy's and Uniters. I feel like, macy's and Uniters have through smooth sales talk sold us something that has caused us extreme inconvenience and financial loss. When I went online to post a complaint I saw many similar stories against Uniters and Macy's push to sell these warranties without appropriately informing customers.

@maggie, you're correct. But we were handed a cleaning kit which we were told was complimentary and that's it. We were not told there were terms and conditions documents inside specific to the warranty.
We've never needed the kit, cause we've always maintained our sofa and love seat well.
And that's where it stayed and the kit got misplaced during my move from schaumburg.
On the other hand all the other documents were were handed over was filed(sales reciept, brochures, even the salesperson's business card). Also consider this, we were told all marks/tears, etc would be covered, but shouldn't we have been told it would only be BLUE color and no other color. I think if nothing else, atleast that point deserves some mentioning.

Macy's belgique cookware "don't get burned"

Twenty some years ago I got a set of Belgique cookware for my wedding. Recently I thought I'd treat myself to a new set because my old set, though still working, had gotten a little beaten up over the years. Big Mistake! In the 9 months I've owned the new set, one pot got little rust spots on the inside and. The handles get extremely hot to the touch when cooking. Also, when cooking, steaming water (I assume from the dishwasher) where the rubber meets the metal, can burn you. My Doughtier was seriously burned, and she was using a dry over mite, I bought another pot at a different time to supplement my set and it also developed rust spots on the inside. I have never been so dissatisfied with any product! Plus this is very dangerous.

Approximately 5 years ago we bought a set of Belgique cookware from Macy's. At that time we were told there was a lifetime warranty so we could always get another if anything broke. Well the handle came off right before Covid and I recently reached out to Macy's regarding this warranty. I was told that they are only the middle man and I would have to reach out to Belgique in Belgium. My claim is no longer valid. They had no contact information for which I would be able to get a hold of the manufacturer. No internet search revealed any information for Belgique in Belgium. Apparently, Macy's believes "lifetime warranty" means, until we no longer want to deal with this.

The above link (http://host-47.242.54.159.gannett.com/news/article/185984/373/More-Than-100000-Missing-From-Regional-Emmys) reflects the home store manager's job immediately prior to being hired by Macy's. In his current role, he is in a position to affect peoples job, lives, compensation, etc. This is who Macy's has trusted with this role and unfortunately, people are being hurt (as is Macy's as good people stop working there once they are subject to his abuse and customers aren't being served as well as they could be.) Here's the thing - this is all out there in the public. If the local CBS affiliate can say this stuff about this guy on the news... then I can say it here. The above link is widely available on the internet. You just saw the content of that link. Did HR check this guy out and STILL hire him? Did they check references?

A clerk in Macy's offered me a discount if I used a Macy's card that I had not used for many years. I was enticed to used it to make a purchase that totaled about $40 in order to get a discount. I finally received a bill 3 months later telling me that my account was 2 months past due. My new total for a $32 purchase is $60. More importantly, they put a bad mark on my credit which had been perfectly clean for almost 40 years. I advise people not to use Macy's credit - use your own credit cards.

I had two Macy's credit cards and my bank issued checks to pay these off. They sent both checks at the same time. One cleared and this was reflected on my account. The second one cleared, but was not reflected on my account. This was in January. It is now March and I am still getting harassing phone calls telling me I owe them money. In February my bank faxed their collections department a copy of the check that cleared. At the same time I also faxed them a copy of my cleared check, but they have yet to fix THIER screw up. Macy's credit cards are a crock of [censored] and their employee's that work in the credit department are the equivalent of that.

My Macy's card was inactive. when I went to check out I was asked to sign up for a new Macys card and I would be given 15% off purchases. I signed up, bought a dress, top, skirt and lingerie. Was told I could return Ny of the items. Decided to return the skirt, and since I had received a statement, paid it, less the cos t of the skirt I returned.

Well this month I received a statement saying I owed $11.85 and when I called to ask why, I was told it was for the 15% off they had given me...I don't remember ever having to pay the discount on top of the discounted amount to any retailer I've done business with...J Jill, Chicos, DSW. They've taken the items back and issued me credit for, the Mount I paid...not the amount I paid plus the discount.

This is funny accounting if you ask me and if this is the case with signing up for a card or using and discount with Macy's, "buyer beware!" $11.85 is not worth disputing and ruining my credit record, but I won't be shopping Macy's!

I had taken my five year old niece shopping yesterday for an Easter dress. Our last stop was at Macy's in the Vancouver Mall. We had several dresses along with a few items from the clearance rack for her to try on. We were both tired and ready to go home after not finding anything that fit her the way we wanted it to. As we proceeded to leave the mall a girl approached us as Macy's Loss Prevention confronting me about merchandise inside of my shopping bag. Immediately I stated I am not knowing of such items and handed her the bag to look for herself . She did find the two said items they were in the bag with my nieces heavy winter coat I put inside of the bag it was too hot for her to wear. Once taken to the back room that is when the nightmare began. One of the other girls began yelling at me in front of my five year old niece calling me a thief and a liar, I tried telling them it was a mistake but was not able to finish a sentence. I was being verbally attacked from both sides and my niece was crying too. There was a non-stop flow of people whom I assumed worked for Macy's along with a number of people that worked mall security coming in and out of the secured room we were now locked in. I asked for my purse that had already been ran sacked by both of the girls so I could get my cell phone and have my sister come pick up my niece. She refused and continued the name calling and yelling, I was furious at the situation and helpless to do anything. There were a number of males back there also, none of which were identified to me. It was a very strange situation and all seemed very unreal. It was close to two hours or more before A police officer arrived and I was able to call my sister to come get my niece. I have NEVER heard of a child's welfare not being the first and foremost in any situation. If this is how Macy's trains its employees I will be doing everything in my power to see there is a change and that the trauma put upon Dannika, a five year old child is not inflicted upon another innocent child.

I have been an excellent customer of Macy's for more than 20 years and have paid on time every month. Anyway, two months ago I owed $1400 on my account and paid $1225. The next month (March 30 - payment due April 8) I paid $20 as I thought that was what I owed. For the past three days I am receiving many phone calls from a number in Florida so I decided to call it today. On the other end were employees with such thick accents I could barely understand them (Macy's credit representatives). I was ---told I never made my payment for April and it is due now with late fees and when am I going to pay, etc etc. being obnoxious.
So I checked with on-line banking and all was fine. I called back and then was told I never made a payment in February which caused every month to be late. UNTRUE. I have the proof. They went on and on and on trying to get me to make a payment over the phone. I told them I would not until I called tomorrow. Well, i realize the error now. I made the April payment on time but for $20 and it was $25 - I was $5 past due. For this I had such horrible agravation tonight i am cancelling my card with Macy's tomorrow.
After 21 years shame on them.

While shopping in the macy store in charlotte n.c. i used a restroom. for such an upscale store it is too bad they cannot provide a better grade of bathroom tissue. the tissue was one ply, thin and scratchy. both my son and my self were really surprised at the low quality in such a high quality department store. just wanted to share our disappointment in the low standards provided for customers. this is a small matter but i feel if people are not made aware of this it may effect business. it was going into a mcdonalds instead of macy's. i will continue to watch for sales but make sure not to use the restrooms in any macy store.

Having been a satisfied customer of Macys at South Park, Charlotte since it opened its doors my sister and I were disappointed today Thursday 14th of October at 6.20pm regarding a sales person on the perfume counter.The young woman in question had a bad attitude and was not at all a credit to the store.She looked as though she should have been somewhere else, certainley not serving the public.A smile from the woman or a thank you for spending x ammounts of $ on perfume would have been more like it.

Not good enough for a store such as Macys.

Macy's jewelry fraud

The article is about a lawsuit filed against Macys, alleging that Macys knowingly sold ruby jewelry as genuine gemstones when in fact they were not genuine rubies. Macys was required to inform customers about how the rubies were created but in many cases failed to do so, duping many customers into purchasing jewelry that did not meet gemological standards or were defective. Macys denied any wrongdoing and continued to sell the products. This shows you what they really think of your intelligence.

I purchased 14kt hoop earrings at Macy's in Rancho Cucamonga, California that were originally $975. but on sale for $390. They are NOT supposed to be gold plated or vermeil. After a few months they tarnished! I have the receipt and will go to the same store where I purchased them from tomorrow. Do Not Buy "Fine" Jewelry From Macy's!

I purchased some gold hoop earrings for "an incredible price". I noticed that one had a seem on the inside and was told they are all different? I asked even within a pair? I kept them and later the clasp broke. When I took them to get repaired by an independent jeweler I was shown these earrings had a plastic tubing on the inside and could clearly see the the tin foil thickness of the gold around it. I am taking them in there tomorrow to see what they offer, if things do not go well I am going to push the issue as much as possible. I paid $300 for some earrings that of not have enough gold on them to melt and repair the smallest part of the whole earring.

Very poor customer service!Very ulpleasant store expirience!I visited the Herald Square Branch in New York City-the biggest Macy's store in the world and here they managed to mess up.We tried to purchase a pair of diamond earrings and personally witnessed the fraud that Macy's performs on their customers. First the sales person named Anita Frazier was nice and even gave us her business card.She processed the payment and we were ready to take the bag and leave when my brother asked to check the stones with the testor.Three stones on one of the earrings were allright, however thr fourth one was fake.She asked another representative to recheck it and it was the same.Then they blamed the testor and we insisted on changing the testor and checking the stone on another one-same result.Her hands become shaking for some reason and she got really nervous.Then we called for a manager named Sonia, who wasn't much of a help either-she just acted indifferently and said that she cannot do anything except cancel a transaction, which we already insisted upon ourselves. After the sales person cancelled the transaction, for some reaosn she asked back the business card that we got from her when we walked in, however we refused to return it.The bottom line IS: MACY'S SELLS FAKE JEWELRY. They wouldn't even apologize for what happened-both the sales representative, or as she calles herself-"Diamond selling specialist" and the manager.Will never buy from them anymore and already told 17 of my friends and colleages about the incident and will continue to spread the information in order to help people avoid being scammed by Macy's. Right after that we went to the store on the opposite street (we don't mention the name as it is not an advertisement), but they gave us 100% real product for a lesser price with lifetime warranty and all other inclusive services, which are also free of charge. Now think about it: how does Macy's have an opportunity to give you all those 80% off Jewelry discounts-it's simple-THEY SELL YOU FAKE.Hope this information will reach those who need it.

Macy's calls from india sourced service

I kept receiving calls from [protected] 4 and 5 times a day. When I would answer, there was NEVER anyone on the line. So, I stopped answering and tried calling them back. Always a recording and never an answer. Today I finally reached someone to find out it was Macy's trying to reach me.

It is RIDICULOUS the number of times they called and had no one on the line. Every day of the week.

I finally called the 800 number listed on the Macy's website and was connected to a call center in India again.

I am TIRED of Macy's and the way they are treating a former Marshall Fields customer of 20 years. They do NOT even begin to compare to Marshall Fields and need to learn how true customer service is handled.

The Macy's credit services department withdrew their decision to honor what they promised in the last minuted, thus impacting my credit adversely.
I was promised that if I spent more than $400 dollars on my card, my late payment mark on my credit report would be removed as a courtesy. The whole reason behind being late was that their email notification system does not specifically say whether you are late or not; it's very confusing to the consumer.
Long story short, after spending the $400 on my card and paying it off, I called them back and they bluntly told me in my face that they would not honor what they promised!
I am going to contact Better Business Bureau, other consumer agencies as well as blogs and credit reporting agencies to let them know how deceptive/misleading and dishonest the Macy's credit services department really is.
Please join me in sending your complaint to bbb.org.
We need to let the CEO know that we are not to be taken advantage of. We have power.

Macy's delivery/customer service

I have experienced horrid customer service from Macy’s. I purchased a $1, 450 mattress set from the Washington Square, Tigard, OR location and was told it would be manufactured for me and was scheduled a delivery date and time. Two weeks later when the delivery truck arrived to my home on Sep. 9, the driver said his truck was too big to go up the steep driveway to my condo so they left without delivering my mattress. They refused to walk the mattress up the driveway. One month later I am still getting the run around about delivery. I still have not received my bed, and my delivery date (somehow by someone with a pickup truck through the furniture store) has been changed three times. I will have to take more time off work (for the second time) to meet the delivery people. I was told my second Saturday delivery date (9/25) was too busy for a pick-up truck delivery to my home and there were other customers to deliver to, since there had been so many mattress sales due to the Labor Day sale(!) I purchased my mattress on August 28. The sales people on the phone (John and Donna) have been incredibly rude and unhelpful. They told me Oregon doesn't have smaller trucks for Macy's to use and that I would have to hire my own delivery service and pay for it! I live in metro Portland, less than a mile from downtown. Currently, I am supposed to have my mattress delivered by pick-up truck sometime on Tuesday, Sep. 28, in which I will have to take more time off work. I was also reminded by the salesperson Donna that this was free delivery and that this would be the second time the delivery company would be sent out to me. She then apologized for being argumentative, but provided no additional help, simply telling me she wished she could wave her magic wand. This has been the most unpleasant shopping experience I have ever had and I will never shop at Macy's or recommend them to anyone ever again!

Macy's unethical tactics

I've been a Macy's cardholder since 2007 and as far as I can see, I've never made a late payment with them. About a year ago, they bumped my credit card limit to $6500 with a $17.9% interest rate. I was finishing up college and I was running low on money, so I began using my credit cards. By the time I finally graduated college, I ran up my credit utilization over the 90% limit (around $12, 000 total). I found myself a job in early August and began paying off my cards. At this time, Macy's dropped my credit limit to the remaining balance on the card (around $5300) and began charging me an APR of 24.9% due to "outside credit information" (ie credit utilization), even though I've NEVER been late in payments with them or any of my other cards for that matter. I made my first payment on the card of $800, and watched my credit limit drop back down to the balance of the card within a few weeks and without any notice.

I gave them a call a few weeks ago, and after a long conversation the representative found that Macy's was going refuse to renew my card at the end of its expiration date & close the account, in spite of always making timely payments on all of my cards. Explaining to the representative that I am finally working and would have all my debt paid in several months was not enough. I was forced to close my card on my own prerogative because it would otherwise state on my credit report "Closed at the Creditors Request". As of today, my credit report reflects that my high balance on the card is $5300 & the limit is $4500, which will clearly hurt my credit score in the future, appearing as if I must've missed many payments on an overlimit account. I requested from the lenders to close the account, indicating a credit limit of $6500, because otherwise it would be unfair to reflect my past high balance with a much higher limit. They refused, claiming I was asking them to do something fraudulent.

At the end of the day, I'm left with a closed out card with a 24% interest rate on a balance that is to be paid off, a credit score that will look sore for some time, and a disgruntled taste in my mouth about how Macy's lenders proved they will play with your interest and limits at any given day, despite never missing any payments.

Macy's recruitment process

I would like to share my recent interview experience at Macy's. This was at the West Valley Mally for the opening of the new branch in Tracy, California. I had applied for the position of Administrative Associate. I am a graduate with experience and had all the necessary skills outlined for this position.

Moreover, I was later sent an email inviting me for an interview. I went for the interview at Tracy Recruiting Center for Macy's and was interviewed by a person named Roya whom I believed was from the HR Department. She asked me questions based on the above-mentioned position. I myself have also worked in the Human Resources Dept of a multi-national organization as a Training and Development Manager, therefore the process was easy for me. At this moment the interviewer seemed very impressed with my interview and advised me should you qualify for the position, I will call you for second interview.

And I was called for the second interview. This time a person by the name Michael Montanino called for a second interview. At this time I was expecting someone from HR, like Roya to call. Nevertheless, I was so excited with my understanding of a second interview and with the confirmation of Roya that they will call should I qualify. I believed they will confirm me and discuss the working hours, site visitation etc. So when I went for second interview, I was interviewed by another person named Michael. He started his interview for a different position altogether. I was not informed prior that this second interview is not a follow-up of your first interview but for a different job altogether. However, all this while I was assuming this second interview would be for the exact position I had applied for. And rightfully that is how it should have been. I personally have experience with hundreds of interviews where we professionally organized the details of the short-listed candidates before calling them. I sensed and noted, these staff did not properly discuss prior to calling and interviewing candidates. Michael mentioned to me that the Admin Associate job has been filled and he would like to offer me something different. I was glad with the offer. He mentioned this was something of a Team Lead position. He thoroughly discussed my Resume and went over it and even mentioned to me "You belong here, you have got great organizational skills - this is what we are looking for and you are it". So he said, he is going to confirm the position right now since this was my second interview and he also mentioned there is no need for a third day. Let me confirm this right away.

Furthermore, he stated he needed to discuss few details about the job to his fellow collegue - someone by the name Gaibe. By end of the second interview with Michael, he had confirmed me a position even though a different one. At this point I was told I will have a third interview with Gaibe now. So this third person comes up and starts his interview session with me. He also went over my Resume and asked questions based on my prior work experiences. He also stated I had great skills and a good match for our team. By now judging by the organizational and leadership skills of Michael and Gaibe I told myself these two cannot be from Human Resources and they seemed to have little to no knowledge of hiring /recruiting process. I felt embarrased being passed from Roya to Michael then to Gaibe - 3 interviews with nothing solid yet. Now Gaibe started discussing with me commission based and on-call part time positions with very short hours and few days off as if to shoo me away! The point to note is where all this started from and where it has ended. By now I was so depressed. This seemed totally disorganized esp.on the part of the HR team - I am sure Roya could have done a better job. This is not just any company - this is Macy's and its reputation these staff are putting at stake. Gaibe finished his interview and advised me he would give me a call on Tuesday 7th September. Later as Gaibe was done, Michael comes along and tells me sorry but the position he was offering me was not available anymore while just few moments ago he was confirming me for the position. And I could not even understand the purpose of third interview with Gaibe. He was discussing things which was not of my interest.

I just could not get what was going on with these three staff passing me around and with three totally different perspectives. This was an indication the 3 staff didnt properly sit together and discuss or review the points before interviewing. Very dis-organized and un-professional. Made me feel like an idiot. Michael and Gaibe work under the same roof, how could Michael confirm me for a position and later same day tell me the job is not available. Seems like a communication break-down between staff. They were discussing my organizational skills - I wonder what level is theirs. So the final say after the third interview by Gaibe was that they will call me on Tuesday 7th Sept.

My first interview with Roya was on 26th August, the second and third with Michael and Gaibe was on 3rd Sept. Now Michael had confirmed me for a position then later decided to take it away saying nothing is available while Gaibe decides to give me a call on Tuesday 7th Sept and through all these process there was no word from Roya whatever happended to the first interview deal where she advised me they will call for a second interivew if I qualify for the postion of Admin Associate - the position I was interested in and applied for.

By now I was psychologically down and depressed with what these three staff of Macy's had done to me. With my experience of HR we had never treated our candidates like this in such an unprofessional and totally disorganized manner. So I came back home heavy-heartedly. I could not sleep the night so I decided to go back to the recruiting centre in Tracy and share my thoughts with Roya. I went the next day Saturday 4th Sept however, Roya was not around so I shared my concern with Michael since he was the one who called me for second interview. I explained all the above from my perspective and he realized and agreed they had done wrong. He accepted their mistake in the presence of my father and few other interivew candidates. He even apologized to me. At this point he did accept that they were at fault and promised me he will discuss this with Roya again and get back to me. Now he went on to say they might re-think about the Admin Associate position as it was still not filled while a day before he told me the position was filled. He also went on to mention he would consider me for a position from his department but they will definitely work something out as they were at fault. When I stated to him of the interview with Gaibe and the kind of options he started giving me, Michael stated he didnt send me to him for discussions on on-call position and commission based position. Then I wonder whatever the third interview was for. To my surprise Michael even mentioned Gaibe is in no position to interivew candidates like me. This made me wonder how qualified are these staff themselves esp. who are involved in recruiting and hiring. I told Michael you three should have instead prepared your questions and interviewed as a panel and he even agreed with me. I told him if you agree then why didnt you all did that at the first place. All he could say was sorry and they were at fault. He again made a promise that this matter will be discussed with Roya and they will defineltely call me on Tuesday 7th Sept. Meanwhile, he gave me his cell phone number [protected] and his personal email (not with company domian) [protected]@yahoo.com and told me I could call him whenever I wanted and email him whenever as he checked his email about 25 or more times a day. This again made my wonder since this was not companys email the staff are logged onto the interntet to check their personal emails so many times a day.

On 7th Sept, however, noone called but sent an email they didnt have any oppotunity for me.Very interesting. Calling me for first interview, then second interivew, then third, then confirming another position and deciding to take it away and then the email - final blow!

My concern is not that I didnt get the job, what I am concerned is what all is going on in there.I thought Macy's was an Equal Opportunity Employer. When Michael discussed with Gaibe about the position he wanted to confirm me for and later after discussing he decides the jobs in no longer available made me feel was the job reserved for someone else? Was I discriminated? Too many questions are being raised into my mind after the experience with Macy's staff Roya, Michael and Gaibe. I have trained people like Gaibe and Michael. My opinion is such people should not be assigned to recruit.

Macys is a joke to apply at, I wasted time, money and energy on a worthless interview. I applied for a sales job that was already filled and I was not told till I was an the interview. I was told they would pass on my resume to another manager in another department. Yea right what a waste of time, I will never apply there again and will not recommend that place to anyone for work. Unprofessional

Although I did not have the same problem as you two I do find their hiring process messy. When I went for my interview I had to wait more than half an hour for a manager to become available to interview me. Come' on I was scheduled its not like I randomly appeared there for it. When asked for my availability hrs I told her I was available to work nights because I had school in the morning yet they put me in a team that only works in the morning. Thankfully I got that fixed so I didn't have to quit nor move from the department. They also messed up my personal information so in their In-Site (where you check your schedule and pay) I forgot my password so I decide to hit the "Forgot password" link. If I remember accurately they ask for the last 4#'s of your social, your mother's maiden name and your zip code. They messed up in one of those so I had to go to hr to get it fixed. Which was another pain.

I had a similar experience 2 days ago although I did not go through more than one interview. I applied for an admin position. Filled out the application on line along with my resume. Answered the very long questionaire and was sent an email to schedule an interview for that postion. When I went to the interview I was only asked 2 or 3 questions about sales. Nothing to do with the admin position. I inquired about the hours of the admin job and the interviewer who never introduced herself so I dont even know her name said that the position had been filled. I just looked at her for a second not saying anything because I was shocked as to why that would not have been mentioned before I went or at least at the start of the interview. She then said that they still had to interview me because it was scheduled. What? Then she said she was interviewing me for a recruiting job. I never saw any advertisement for a recruiting job. After her 3 questions, she left the room for about 5-10 minutes and then came back and said, ok we will keep your application on file. The interview lasted 5 minutes and 2 days later I received an email saying thank you for applying but we selected someone else whose background and skills were a better match for the admin position. What happened to the recruiting job? This seems like a scam. This was a total waste of my time including the whole online questionnaire that I had to fill out. I will be contacting the CEO Terry Lundgren as I feel this is extremely unprofessional and very misleading to candidates. It is hard enough to be looking for a job. You would hope that the job you are interviewing for would still be available before you get to the interview. What a scam.

Macy's scam

Hi Everybody!

I used to be a regular customer at Macy's until last week. I am a student, and had an upcoming job interview. I had the 20% off coupons from Macys that were to to me by mail, and had clear instructions that stated that these coupons can be used on sale and clearance items. The exclusions were few brands like Armani, Louis Vitton, but the card did not explicitly mention that the savings coupon did not cover Anne Klein. I spent an hour trying out the suit skirts, and when I finally arrived at the billing section, the sales person told me there was something wrong. She was not able to apply the discount to my purchase. She could not also tell me the reason why it failed. She told me it was supposed to work, but somehow could not be applied. When I came home, I tried applying the same coupon for the same suit skirt purchase online at Macys.com, and it worked! The coupon was meant to be used both in store and online, but somehow did not work in store.

When I sent numerous emails asking for clarification, the hopeless customer service did not respond.

I could have purchased the item, but chose not to because what Macy's did was clearly questionable and not ethical. They were trying to lure customers by their coupons, and once a shopper spends her time there looking for a right product, they are confident that chances of people returning them just because their coupons won't work is negligible.

They should be ashamed for the level of service and their denial of what is assured. For the first time, I ventured out in New York city looking for better places to shop. Macy's used to be the only store I had visited, and now thanks to Macy's, I found Lord and Taylor, Bloomingdales. Finally I purchased a very decent Anne Klein suit from Lord & Taylor, for 100$ (it was on sale!) and saved more than a 100$ than what I would have if had I shopped in Macy's.

Thanks Macy's because you suck and thanks for opening my eyes to other places to shop at! You have lost one customer for life, and many of my friends. Believe me, if you think you can lose one customer, be ready to lose another 10 to your competitors.

Also, you need to do your homework better. Both Bloomingdale's and Lord & Taylor belong to Macy's, Inc. (or used to). Lord & Taylor was sold off because it was competition to the other Macy's-owned high-end retail store: Bloomingdale's. Bloomingdale's still belongs to Macy's, Inc. And as the Macy's employee above stated there could be numerous reasons as to why the coupon did not qualify in-store, however, the online site has to be more forgiving otherwise the customer will not return. So before you go running your mouth about which store is better than the other do some research.

Are you stupid? Really read the exclusions...I have a macys card and I do receive my coupons and I READ the exclusions all the time...There could be so many reasons why your coupon was not excepted it could have been a special, it could have been a impulse item...Oh btw I do in fact work at macys and I HATE when customers complain about the coupons

Macy's double charge for shirts

On Aug 6 2010, I purchased a few shirts from the Men’s Dept. The first associate, Julie tried to run my Visa card and could not so she manually typed the credit card number. She seemed new and was not sure if the transaction went through or not so she went and got a second associate to re-scan the shirts one by one again, it’s now 9:15 PM and the store closed at 9PM. I signed the electronic pad to accept the $210 charges. On Aug 9, 2010 I logged into my visa checking account to find out two charges went through. I called my banking institution and was informed that both charges for the same amount were put through by Macy’s. Since Macy’s billed me twice, I was advised by the bank to work it out with the store. I called the store and was told by the Macy’s Rep to bring a copy of my statement showing the duplicate billing plus the receipt which I did. When I got to the store, Julie the first associate that scanned my shirts was working in the men’s dept. She knew exactly what she done wrong when I showed her the receipt and online bank statement. She quickly called the Manager on duty AnnMarie. AnnMarie spoke to me and collected the documents. I waited for a total of 45 minutes in the Men check-out while she took the documentation to verify in the upper floor. She returned and said the first associate attempted to void the transaction and the second associate billed me for the 200+ amount however for some reason the duplicate amount went through and it would take my bank approximately 7 business days to post/credit the amount back since Macy’s is showing they voided the first transaction. I have no IDEA what type of scam this is but retailers can not keep $210 of someone’s money for 7 days because they hire stupid employees that can’t operate their system correctly. The right thing for Macy’s to do was to credit me for the duplicate billing however an Asian lady steps up (without a Macy’s name tag) trying to explain the same load of crap. Then I tell them it’s not right for a retail store such as Macy’s to double bill their customers and then keep the money for 7 days. Suddenly a white Caucasian steps up (also without a name tag) repeating things for a third time. He informs me if I was not happy with Macys, then I could go ahead and file a fraud charge with my Bank. I told him I did not think fraud was necessary since this was a duplicate billing in error. I just wanted a credit for the duplicate billing so I could be on my way…the Asian lady is calling on her walkie talkie and now the Caucasian guys is also calling on his walkie talkie too. AnnMarie is telling me they can not reverse the duplicate billing. So I told all three of them, I will file a fraud claim with my Bank since Macy’s was only authorized to bill me twice for the same shirts. The Caucasian guy was taunting me and saying it was not fraud. He was saying things like we are done, we are not having this conversation. I took my black card which my husband and I have been a black card holder since 2005 spending an average of [protected] per year with Macy’s downtown out and I folded it in half, MACY’s has LOST this customer for life since they are cheating their customers which is completely unethical. I backed up from the Men’s register and went up to the first floor to leave the store. The Caucasian guy followed me on the escalator and outside to the parking lot as if I stole anything when in fact MACY’S IS THE THIEF in this situation, they just stole $210 had I not log on to check my account!

Shoppers BEWARE of MACY’s duplicate billing practice when you use your bank/credit cards. I know the economy is tough on most Americans but to have a national retailer STEAL is unacceptable. They should be ashamed and I will post up with my company of 1000 plus employees, plus I am getting ready to email this to friends and family so we should stay away from MACYS. Only go there if people are up to losing time, getting bad service, being mistreated and having your hard earned money stolen. SO check your bank/credit card statements careful for those duplicate/MISC billings from MACYS.

Thanks for reading and take care. Best wishes to American and its people who continues to work hard.

Macy's diamond earrings

I went to Macy's Friday July 30 to look at the price on some diamonds. I use to have bad credit but its been getting better. So anyways, after looking at some diamonds I told the sales rep I would be back on the 1st after I got paid. She said that I could apply for a credit card and I said I would on the first...anyways I thought my credit wouldn't clear and I went for it. I got approved and was super excited. When the sale was complete I was told this was only a presale and I had to come back on Sunday or later to get my diamonds which would be stored in a safe for me. Well I got the earrings today alright. But as soon as the lady opened the box I said to myself that these were not the ones I had. I mean, the other ones as soon as I laid eyes on them I wanted them. And didn't stop talking and thinking about them the whole weekend. But as soon as I saw these ones they did not even attract me. I swear I think they gave me a lower quality pair. They were a bit dirty which lets me know straight up that these were not the ones I was shown for the other ones were not. They are set in yellow gold and the shine is not the same. I don't see what I saw before.

@Stealth Pilot...supposedly they were going to put them in a safe for me(implying I was getting the ones I saw). I also called them today and they said that they could not return or exchange them because they were the only pair. I understand about the lighting and all that. I even told the rep I talked to today that I knew they used lighting to make the diamonds shine more, however, it was in the store that I noticed they were different; so I noticed they were different with the same lighting. I also explained to her that I had been out the night before drinking and did not trust my judgment at the time and that is why I didn't say anything there and then. Also, for their company's sake it was better for me not to say anything at that time since I do tend to get very argumentative and a bit aggressive. She said she would talk to management and then call me back. When she called me back she said she could not return them, but they were going to let me exchange them due to their ESP program which lets you exchange the diamonds after 3 years. But they were going to let me exchange and upgrade after only 30 days, which is good. however, by doing so, I'm only purchasing more expensive ones and giving them more money. So now that I think about it, I don't want to do that.
I did not look at them under the loupe. However, as I explained to her when she started to try to tell me that diamonds have inclusions inside of them, I already know that. Many of the people I hang out with don't know the difference between a crystal, a cubic zirconia and a diamond; however, I do and when I look at those earrings I know they are not worth what I'm paying for them. I am taking them to get appraised in many places before I go inside the actual store and raise hell.

Macy's discrimination

Macy's has discriminated against me regarding a medical condition that I have.

On May 29, 2010, around 8:15 pm, I decided to take a visit at the Town East Mall location to purchase my wife some fragrance on a special evening. This women by the name of Tedra who worked in the fragrance department, attempted to assist me. There was also another woman beside her which she decided to leave shortly after. Tedra advised me that she didn't have the type of fragrance I was looking for. As I was walking out towards the mall searching for another store, she asked me, what is that in the back of your neck? I replied to her, What do you mean? She rudely stated, It looks like wing worms on your neck and it looks bad. For a women that I have never met or known, to embarrass and disrespect my medical condition made me feel very degrading as a man. I decided to go back into the store and find out her name and spoke with a manager regarding this issue. Joy Black was the manger that assisted me in taking down my information and advising me that this complaint would forwarded to the store manager. Macy's refused to resolve this matter and accommodate me for mental stress, time loss from home and work.

Macy's ashley hall was very unhelpful and rude and claimed that she could do nothing since the 180 days had passed

I had bought a Ralph Lauren sweater from Macy's at Woodfiled Mall in Schaumburg, IL more than a 180 days ago but hadn't used it till recently. When I washed it according to the label instructions, the brown color bled onto the white and ruined the sweater. When I took it back to the store the manager, Ashley Hall was very unhelpful and rude and claimed that she could do nothing since the 180 days had passed. Now, I understand the 180 day policy for returning goods, but it was clear that Macy's had sold a poor quality product from a major brand such as Ralph Lauren and that they could clearly take up the matter with RL. However, she was very rude and made no effort to help me.

I'm assuming you had no tags or receipt. Macy's will extend that 180 day policy if you have proof of purchase, but if you have nothing...that's what you get...nothing. And I agree...take it up with RL yourself. It's not Macy's fault that RL sold them and now you a unsatisfactory product. Get a grip.

Really, what was she to do? You know the other week I was w0rking with this woman who wanted to return items that she claimed were "sent to her in the mail" but some items didn't have tags. I don't think she was trying to scam, but some people do, but we have to have those tags to add an item back to inventory and she just couldn't seem to understand. People just want what they want, not what makes sense.

Dawniette - I agree! I was at my store a few weeks ago walking through after clocking out, and another associate was dealing with a customer who wanted to return bedding she bought a year ago. BEDDING! I don't know about you all, but I'm in a metropolitan area, where people may be living with bedbugs. I said then and there that I thought that was gross. A YEAR!

Macy's check authorization policy

I have shopped at Macy's for many years & was surprised that on 6/4/10 after making a purchase with a check which is the way I normally pay for my purchases, I gave the Macy's employee my driver's license. She then pushed a box with numbers & told me to enter my SS#. I told her I had made purchases just last week & did not have to give my SS#, she said it was new store policy. I told her there was no way I would be giving Macy's my SS#, I paid cash & went to customer service & again was told this was now store policy. Also, they're not asking for SS# if you use their Macy's card or any other credit card. I E-mailed Macy's & the response from Credit Customer Service, Colleen McGuinness was that Certegy would be handling all checks processed through Macy's & this information is required by them, Ph# [protected]. I called & a recording ask to list date check denied, I never got to talk to anyone at Certegy. I tried to call Macy's customer service [protected] & no person, only a recording about my account or if I wanted to make a payment on my Macy's account. ( I don't have a
Macy's account, nor do I want one)

When there is such a concern over identity theft, why would Macy's think their customers' should trust Centegy with their SS#. Macy's is the only store requesting this information for check authorization.

No longer a Macy's customer.
