800-838-4112

A human called and asked to speak to one of my co-workers. She refused to leave a message. Calling back, I got a recording identifying the number as "Catherine's Spirit of America Service Center" and prompting for either a 16 digit account number (credit card?) or an SSN. I do not know who they are, but they sound like a collections agency.

This number has been calling my home for a few weeks now but never leaves a message!!!

asked for SSN to check any outstanding credit debits.

Catherine's Spirit of America - in connection with Lqane Bryant and Brylane Home - they're all the same company

They are calling from Catherines, a clothing store for bigger sizes. I did not realize i missed paying my bill and they were just calling for payment. they were very nice and all is taken care of.

Someone keeps calling my cell multiple times daily, never leaves a message. Called back the number, and it asked for my 16 digit acct number or my social security number.

Some lady keeps calling my home from this number & always says to call back the number 609-0145 - no area code & if I dial it locally I get the message can not be completed.. When I tried to call this number back I get nothing.

The number is to Catherines, Fashion Bug, or another store associated with them.... they apparently ask you when shopping there to open a charge account and then give you a discount on your purchase... Like others I thought that the charge went to my credit card... it did not.. it went to their card which I never recieved a bill for and then they called to ask for payment... very polite and helpful... all was take care of to their satisfaction and mine.... if you are not in arrears to your payments or billing they are very helpful.... nice service that they call to remind you of a payment past due...

they called and left a toll free number in which i should call for info about an important buisness meeting

calls daily, never leaves message. very annoying

Caller ID: Toll Free Call, 800-838-4112, very annoying.  Calls daily.  Attempts to sell credit card insurance.

Yes. Calling my cell.  I don't pick up.  No message

Lady called & asked for Anita. She said it was personal & asked for best time to call back. I googled & here I am, my 2 minutes of fame....COOL...

This might be the people who keep calling me in connection with my Fashion Bug account, then, claiming that I need to contact them about "an important business matter".  Well, my payments are current, so I don't know what they could legitimately want and I'm ignoring them.

For the record, Spirit of America bank is the credit-issuing source for Catherine's, Lane Bryant, Fashion Bug, Arizona Mail Order Co. and their affiliates, and Bedford Fair Apparel and *their* affiliates. These are all mail order/online companies that specialize in women's plus-sized clothing. Only Lane Bryant and Fashion Bug have actual stores, and the Lane Bryant store acts like it has nothing to do with the website or catalog (although they have basically the same merchandise).

They are NOT a collection agency, but they might be trying to get you to open an account or sell you some account services.

Do you have a fashion bug account?

Thanks!

I am delighted that you folks have posted this!

I got a call from them but they didn't say anything so I hung up. One time they called and I did answer and they finally answered as well, or talked, and they wanted to know if I wanted to upgrade my account or something that was total bs that would lock me into some crap so becareful.

Thanks,
April

Yeah they as well as Fashion Bug call me every day about 6-8 times a day and never leave a message. My account is paid current, i am going to contact a rep at each number and advise them to stop calling and if they don't stop with in a 48 hr period i am going to report them for harrassment. I understand calling if your account is pass due but if the account is current they shouldn't be calling several times a day, or at all

Thanks for posting about this...I kept receiving multiple calls a day from this number and it was really freaking me out that I had money due that I didn't know about.  Turns out it was Lane Byant wanting me to upgrade my account.

Well, a message would be useful.  I really hate how companies have decided to just call you over and over again instead of leaving a message.

These calls are From "spirit of america bank" which is a bank owned by charming shoppes for their store credit cards.

Whose is charmingshoppes, they own many popular retails store chains.  You are receiving a call regarding your store card at:

Fashion Bug
Catherines
Lane Bryant
Crosstown Traders
Petite Sophisticate

This particular number appears to be their collections department which calls regarding late payments
