Purchased merchandise at Marshalls.com and didnt receive my merchandise. Contacted customer service multiple times and they lied to me about processing refund. The agent said she processed refund and it will appear on my card. Called them again and another agent said previous refund didnt pass through but confirmed that she processed new refund. This situation repeated again multiple times. I didnt received merchandise but they took $215.49 from my credit card.Business Response

On 8/17/2023 I experienced the most horrible treatment from your ** Maxx employees in the 10 years I have been a customer, so I decided not to buy nothing else from ** Maxx until the below situation is taken care of. A lady ********* employee gives me a gift card saying for non receipt items which was a lie when I showed that ** Maxx rep. the ** Maxx receipt, but the tj Maxx tag had come off, but they gave me $12 on a gift card when nothing on the receipt was $12. In the past the ** Maxx rep would get a number from the inside of the pants and match it with receipt, but this representative didnt even look. Then I had a tag that came off the top and they wouldnt return the top and gave me the ticket back. Then the tj Maxx employee seems to be part of this criminal plot going on against me where they have hacked my phones and contact employees of where I am going and have them releasing some burning debris which cant be seen during the day and has caused burning spots on me. This female ** Maxx employee released some of that burning debris on me, and after she did this, I took a picture of her, and she didnt like that!Business Response

Malfunction in Payment Website: TJX Companies for Synchrony, TJ MAXX Credit Card My bill for the month was $78.45 1. On or around August 11th I sat at a desktop computer and logged into my tj maxx account to pay my credit card bill. I entered the numbers and I looked closely, had to go back and make sure the decimal was in the correct place. You enter the numbers into their box and they pop onto the screen with the decimal there. Before I hit 'proceed' I noticed the payment amount was $7845.00 / not the $78.45. I back-spaced my numbers and then i went forward with the payment.2. On August 14th I noticed my bank account was negative. TJMAXX Synchrony tried to pull out the $7845.00!! For this effort I was charged an extra $35 from my bank.3. On August 15th I talked to the bank on the phone. There was nothing they could do. I also called tj maxx and they told me it was all with the bank. 4. THAT SAME DAY I PAID the correct amount- $78.45 with a different card. This brought my balance to ZERO! I immediately asked the phone rep to close my account with this company.5. On August 17th, even with the balance paid off, TJMAXX/Synchrony tried to process ANOTHER $7845 payment! Here again I was charged an extra $35.6. This SAME problem happened to me in May or June. I can go back and find additional evidence from bank statements if needed. I had to pay overdraft fees again at that time.PROBLEM: I believe this is a problem or a glitch in the software. This software should run so no payments can EVER be processed that exceed 200% of the current balance owed.RESOLUTION REQUESTED: I am requesting $105 from TJMAXX/ Synchrony to cover three of my overcharge fees.Evidence Attached: 2 screenshots of the large charge/ 8/14 & 8/17 plus one screenshot of the email with dates of 8/15 for payoff date.Business Response

On 8/11/23 I purchased a f**** pack pocketbook from Marshalls for $9.00 on clearance. On 8/17/23 at approximately 5:45PM I tried to return the item with my receipt and the *************************** tag still attached to the item. The manager stated that it was not their merchandise and refused to issue a refund. The *** numbers on the Marshalls tag matched the *** numbers on the receipt.

In order to resolve this issue I would like a full refund of the amount paid to you. I was within the time frame allowed for a full return to the card I used for purchase. I adhered to your store policy for returns and expect you to adhere to the policy as well. I will return the merchandise to you as well. I do not want a credit at your store.

I have sent this documentation at least 3 times via the message feature on TJ ******************** Nobody reads it or is competent enough to understand the company already confirmed my return was received in July and hasn't processed my refund in over a month. This is my second time having this experience with another online order within 2 months. Stop outsourcing your customer service to incompetent and undertrained overseas employees who do not read the attached documents and regurgitate the same SOP without actually fixing the issue. Refund me immediately or I will be charging you interest and getting a lawyer.Business Response

Ill accept the response when the money owed to me is credited to my account, and not months out. This is ridiculous it takes this long to process a simple return youve both received and confirmed you received in early July.

Somehow on May 3, 2023 $1,358.90 was charged to my *********** Savor credit card at Home Goods on *****************. in *********, **.. When I called the store to advise them that I did not make a purchase for that amount, I was told it was for a 7 piece outdoor dining set. I never purchased that, however my credit card chip was used. My credit card was never out of my possession. I was also told by the manager of the Home Goods that during the same transaction there was a return of $29.99 for a flamingo. I have never bought a flamingo. I reported the incident to *********** but they have refused to believe me. They say that I benefited from the transaction. I certainly did not. I called Home Goods again and asked them to look at the surveillance tape. They would not. I even sent them my picture. I called the ************** who told me to call the **** I called the *** who told me to call my local police in Pa., who then told me to call the *************** Finally an investigator from Manatee called Home Goods who said the tapes from both transactions are either erased or not visible. They refuse to do anything more. Home Goods was very uncooperative and *********** was rude and unwilling to help. I even called Home Goods corporate office and all they said was that was their policy. I am out $1,358.90.Business Response

On August 14,2023, I went into home goods in ****** **. I went to purchase a lamp that had ***** displayed. The lamp was too high to reach so I asked for assistance from a store employee because I wanted to purchase it. The employee comes over and says, thats the wrong price, someone put the wrong price on this lamp. I said, I want the lamp and thats the price displayed please get a manager. The manager comes over and says we dont go by that tag and immediately removes it from the lamp. He said that is supposed to be 1*****. I said the law says I should pay what is displayed, he said I am not honoring that. I asked for his name and he refused to give me his name and walked away. I then witnessed him put another tag on the lamp for 1*****. He was rude and dismissive and I am deserving of the lamp in which I sought. I provided a picture of the first lamp where they removed the price after I asked to buy it for the displayed price and then 10 other photos showing the blue tag on several lamps. The manger said they do not honor those tags. They were all over the store. I want the lamp for the displayed price of *****.Business Response

On 7-30-23 I placed an online order on the ** Maxx website for a total of $100.83. Order #: **********. When the items arrived, the jewelry items were fine but the clothing sizings were way off and fit horribly. The website advertises "Easy Returns" so I opted to go to a local store for a simple refund on 3 clothing items. The cashier was new and had another cashier assist. The tenured cashier proceeded to tell me I would be getting merchandise credit because I used Paypal. I explained that the Paypal was linked to a debit card and that all major stores I've shopped online just refunds back to the method of payment including Paypal purchases..She was a bit a ***** and rude and didn't explain much on anything else so I told her to cancel the return started since I would research this return policy on my own. Later when I looked at the back of the packing slip it stated returns via paypal would receive merchandise credit IF returned to a store. I figured full refunds are only by mail so I planned to box up the items and ship them back during the week to get my money back. Someone later advised me that a $10.99 "Shipping Fee" is debited again from your refund. This is outrageous and deceptive. NO WHERE ON THE PACKING SLIP is this mentioned. Only by going back on the website after reading through varous tabs of info one would finally see this. Why is this and why isn't this on the packing slip? **X is the only company that decides not to be transparent enough throughout the online shopping experience with this bogus "EASY RETURNS" advertisement. Why are these important details not highlighted on the checkout page? I would have used the debit card number instead of using the same card linked to Paypal instead of going through extra hassles, a rude cashier and then still end up losing money. I rarely shop on this particular website and never again, now I'm losing 1/3 of my money from a return. This is not a good business practice. How can I get a full refund?Business Response

I have reviewed the response in reference to to complaint #******** and I did receive a follow up voicemail today from TJX customer service confirming that I will receive a full refund after the item is shipped, so the $10.99 will be refunded as a courtesy. The packing slip is not thorough enough in info and it should mirror the website (and be more highlighted( which would help. The item was shipped as of today so the issue will be considered resolved. .Regards,
