8007994424

They called for my dad... He wasn't at home so i asked why they were calling him : This is confidential, she said with an happy voice...

I hope I won't have troubles.....

I can't imagine why they're calling me - I still have the old card and did not take them up on their offer to get the new one. It's a fairly new card and has never been in arrears - in fact they just increased the limit (which I didn't want). They used to do their own card - I worked on the system. Anyway, I've just stopped answering 800 calls altogether. It's always somebody from a charity, wanting to sell me something, or telling me off because I owe them $19.95 and I'm 2 days late. From last year on, it's "he who calls from and 800 number and doesn't leave a message will never speak to me". Done.

They did the same to me today.  Quite frankly the $8.00 an hour idiot was the most ignorant person I have ever spoken to.  Now that I know it is Sears (it's probably the new credit card company that took over the Sears card accounts) I really hope Sears enjoyed our business because we won't be shopping there anymore, if that's the kind of slobs they now have on a phone.  Yes I am P.O.'d

as an update:  I received another call for my spouse and this time when I saw it was Chase I responded by saying that due to privacy laws I couldn't release the names of people in the household so I wasn't able to verify my spouse was even home.  Secondly I have come to a conclusion for SEARS.  I will be paying off the entire bill-although it's not much but I am paying 1 or 2 cents extra so they owe me money.  Once I get the credit bill I will be calling Chase 4-5 times daily at their free 1-800 #.  I'll give them a week to send me a cheque and then I'll call the Credit Bureau and lodge a complainant that SEARS doesn't pay their bills.  If enough people did this their credit rating would eventually slump to a AA or A and the cost of the increased interest they have to pay on loans would be substancial.  Should SEARS decides to pay me my penny I figure each penny they pay would cost them about $20 (salary hours, postage, envelopes...you get the picture).  Time to go have some fun with them for a change.

Fred....try reading the update by Robert

i just want to say that we're not all rude idiots - and the privacy law is for a reason... there's something called fraud in this world, and not only that - but it's no one else's business if you can't pay your bills.  so.. if you want to stop 18007994424 from calling it's very simple.  either the person we are calling for can return the call, or PAY YOUR BILLS!!  losers.

btw - chase is JP MORGAN CHASE BANK , we're not a collection agency, and we're not contracted by sears.  we own the portfolio... so, we'd love it if you paid off your card... that's if you can.  oh yeah... you, can't that's why we keep calling you!

LOL You morrons, if u dont pay what do u expect, i got one call, i paid and wow no more calls!!! is that a miracle? no, no its not, its what YOU'RE SUPPOSED to do. Collectors don't need to be polite, its not in their job description, so if u dont pay, u pay the consequences, as simple as that!

They call 3 times a day and since I have call display I decide if I want to answer or not.It doesn't matter to me that that only make $8.00 an hour,there are other jobs they could be doing,so I harass them back,ask for their home number,make monkey sounds and point out that regardless of how many times they call they will make zero commision off me. You can also pick up the phone,and push 'pound' several times  and hang up , this confuses their computer .

Let me make this very clear to you morons out there. You rack up your accounts, not pay, and claim that you lost your job after you bought a big screen plasma tv, booo ho, tear for you. If you cant pay your bills, don't buy it. If you want it that bad enough and refuse to pay, suffer with the consequences. By the way, it is not harassment, under the laws, we retain the right to call you, so tough crap to you poor pitiful people on here trying to complain about your stupidness in regards to your bills. We will call you and we will send you to collections. So pay your damn bills.

Haven't gone to Sears in like years and don't use any Chase credit cards so the call I received today sounds like some scam to me personally.

extremely rude service!! No current balance outstanding on the sears card.  You people are losers! My card and my purchasing will be pulled from SEARS altogether. VOTE WITH YOUR WALLET PEOPLE

Ya they can be awful, and one operator even called us a liar when we said we made a payment and we did, but it was late by 5 days. They will call you numerous times in the day until they do see it on their end. So they are ruthless and unforgiving over at Chase to say the least. Best bet, pay card off and never get another one again through Sears now that they are through Chase!! I'm in the proccess of paying my card off, and I will never use their credit services ever again! Like one other person commented, there are other options in this day and age, and I will go other routes if I have to (i.e. bank loans, visa's etc) before I use department store credit ever again! I've learned my lesson....

I got a call from this number today; they phoned once whilst I was at work and of course I did not answer. They phoned again in the evening; I answered, and they were looking for some random guy I've never even heard of. I told them they had the wrong number. I suspected a con, but perhaps they just need to update their files.

I too am going to cut up my sears M/C as soon as its paid off.  They just moved my account over from the regular sears card which I've held in good standing for the last 8 yrs to this Chase Sears mastercard.  Now the calls are starting - I'm just waiting for my online payment go to through (takes a couple days to register on their end).  If this is the kind of headaches I can look forward to with this new card then it is doomed to my scissors I'm afraid.   I remember when sears used to be top of the line in customer service. Now thanks to they're partnership with chase, Sears just lost a long standing customer in me.

On a side note it also sucks that sears has been giving our private information to other companies to sell us life insurance and crap.  They're gonna need life insurance if they don't stop selling and giving my information away to other companies.

wow...bored much Robert?

I carry $0 balance on credit cards and don't have a single thing charged to a Sears Card, but yet this company called me and would refuse to identify themselves without me giving out my date of birth first. I couldn't even be put on a do-not-call list without giving this out. They told me that until I gave them my birthdate I could expect future phone calls from them. Absolutely unacceptable to someone who doesn't owe them a single cent. It will be a cold day in hell before I give out personal information to a company who doesn't even have the balls to say who they are calling on behalf of. Sears will be losing my business over this for sure! I've reported this to the Better Business Bureau to investigate as it sounds like [***] to me.

They kept calling my mother's cell phone at 8 am and no one ever replied, so I found this forum, and thanks to you guys, I know what was going on.  I called them up, gave them my mom's cell phone #, and we established that some [***] had changed his number and my mother had inherited his phone #.  30 seconds later, they updated their system and we should hopefully not be getting anymore calls.

If you are fully paid up, and you're getting the silent calls, call them back and find out why they are trying to call you.  You may have inherited some dead-beat's number.

The caller called repeatedly asking for a name not at my number. I said 'wrong number' and hung up twice. The third time, the caller demanded to know why I had hung up. When I directly asked him who he was (only a handful of people know my number) he got flustered and started demanding money. Classic collection agency - he didn't let me get a word in edgewise (wrong number) and I was forced to hang up. They call about three times a day currently.

if you take two seconds to explain to the person that it's the wrong number, then maybe they'll stop calling you.  how many times do you think we're told the wrong number by people, and then they hang up??  as if that will stop the calls.  there's a reason why we're calling, and a reason that we need to reach you, or who's ever number we have, (which is the number the customer give us, it's not like we pick a phone number out of a hat to harass people).  anyway, take 2 minutes to explain to the person that it's the wrong number, and you don't know the person.  stop just hanging up.  it's much easier for you in the long run.  besides, we're not aggressive with people, unless they're aggressive with us.

I've never used my Sears(Canada)dept. store card and yet I've received two calls so far on my answering machine.

So I googled the number and found this site. To my surprise,if what I read here is true, the callers, who identified themselves only as representing some firm called "Chase" are in fact the collections arm of the JPMorgan Chase Bank.

I'm going to call the number on the back of the card tomorrow instead to find out what's what.
