SPIEGELS

[JCrosby]

be careful of spiegel.

they are coming back and i mean STRONG -- 'charging' back is more like it.
i first got a letter saying they'd acccept no more orders from me ( have 2 grown kids living under roof, DH, myself, and grown married ones living away -- all placing orders from spiegels using various, many GC's received) infact, still have a stack of GC's, actual paper merchandise certificates, never used,
make a long story short, they've decided to charge me w/ all the GC's by their "recovery loss unit" no less.
i really dont know at this point what i kept and what i returned, so much was wrong sizes, etc-- Geezh.... But what they've charged me BACK, and looking around, no where NEAR have that amount (?) of merchandise
furthermore, i've not placed an order w/ them since Apr 2


sad thing, (good thing?) i have a twin sis, we've never ordered anything except what the other did also,

she never got a derogatory letter, she's not denied orders: she used AMEX yeah!! she's still placing orders, still using the merch.certificates
I used my Spiegel CC

and moral of the story, i called to cancel my Spiegel CC
....... TOO late, they'd already recharged $275 on it

my sis is still basking in the sun..... LOL

looks like they are targeting a "select few" and

their recovery unit is trying to recover their "screwups"
best way possible -- those that have a Spiegel CC they can charge back too -- those that didnt , well, walk free

Please, I know you are pissed... but only bump up one of the three threads you have made. Others want to see what's out there.
