I opened a Tjx rewards Mastercard at the end of April. Upon receiving my card in the mail, and activating it, I discovered a fraudulent charge already on the card in the amount of $200. I called and reported this to synchrony bank. They said they had filed a claim, they canceled my card and sent me a new one. I called back again several weeks later to check on the investigation they said they were going to make, and they told me I needed to wait 60 days for my resolution in the mail. I called back after about 2 months, to be told no one had ever filed a fraudulent charge claim on my card. I asked them to please do it then, now, and requested a claim number. I was told I wouldnt be able to get a claim number to reference, that my card number had to be my claim number. I closed my entire account, and still have no resolution on the fraudulent charge, which puts my credit at risk. This charge is sitting on this card gaining interest because I havent made the payment on this $200. I want the charge removed and scrubbed from my credit.Business Response

Dear Sirs:I purchased a 14 Kt gold 18 chain from TJMaxx for $159.99 as a present for my birthday in December 2022. We took our RV to ** for the winter and noticed the necklace had embedded fibers of fabric and even a few strands of hair. I did not have the receipt with me since I had no intention of returning it. When I returned home I immediately took the chain and receipt to my local store and the manager said it was over the 30 day return policy. I called TJ Customer ********************* and talked to ***** and he said all I had to do was get a letter from a jeweler explaining the problem. I called back with the letter and they said they had no ***** employee! The lady gave me a claim number and I attached my letter of complaint with the jewelers letter and I have not heard back from them since sending it off April 13, 2023. I have sent the email numerous times asking for a response with a gift card to their store for the amount of the necklace. My case number is:CS7663262 I am 73 years old and live on a on a limited income and paid this expensive amount so I could pass this down to my daughter as an heirloom. I have had many silver and gold chains in my lifetime and NONE of them have ever caught hair or fabric in them, let alone ones of this expensive price, and you cannot remove them without harming the necklace. I have replaced this necklace with one almost identical to it from **** for $13.99 and have worn it for two months straight with not one piece of fabric or hair becoming enmeshed in it. Thank you for your help in this matter. I read on line that TJ Maxx has the lowest rate of customer service satisfaction at 12%. I guess when you ignore emails for months and then fail to stand by very expensive jewelry that is defective you dont deserve high customer satisfaction ratings on complaints.Thanks for any help u can give me in dealing with this very frustrating matter.*************************** ************ PS. Should I keep sending them emails and calling?Business Response

I am having an issue with the tj maxx customer service center. I went shopping on 6/9/2023 and got a necklace and a cute dress for a quick shopping trip at the Florence ** location. I go to the ********* ** location all the time. I am closer to ******** now and was excited to have a new outfit however the dress did not fit as expected. I attempted to return on 6/16/2023 and the store refused my return even though I had the tags and the receipt. They said that the tag number didnt match the item. I asked for a manager and she said the same thing. I was confused but didnt have time to argue or get any extra details so later that day 6/16/2023 I called the customer service number. I spoke to ***** who was going to call the store but I got disconnected. I called back right away and got ***** who said that ***** said I hung up on her. I told ***** I got disconnected and explained the situation again. ***** told me to email her pictures of everything and she would send me an email to confirm she received the pictures. She said that she would send me a merch credit card for the amount of the dress and that I could donate the dress since the store wouldnt return it. I offered to mail the dress to corporate and she said they wouldnt need that. I never received an email to confirm so I emailed again the next business day and never heard anything back. I called back around 6/29 or 6/30 and was told that ***** was on vacation but they had received my email they were looking *** it and I would be contacted in the next couple of days. I still havent been contacted or received a refund for the dressCustomer Answer

SEE YELLOW HIGHLIGHT FOR ORGINAL PURCHASE INFO 6/7/23, WITH RETURN I am missing $279.98 for a return received by the *******, ** distribution center via ****** tracking #************ on 6/15 that STILL hasn't posted to my account despite all the evidence I've submitted. I tried to file a dispute for this via phone and it was never filed by the representative. I completed the form online and they STILL didn't file it. Furthermore, I am missing $79.99 that was supposed to be credited to my account via an in-store return on 6/28 at the ********, ** store. The manager argued that it could not be credited to my *** credit card because the purchase was completed via PayPal even though I told her I could prove on my phone that it was with the *** card. She gave me a gift card instead which I've never had done before and have no use for. She never stated if I returned it via mail I would have everything refunded to my original form of payment and made it sound like no matter the method of return, it would be a giftcard reimbursement. What is the point of being a valuable customer that pays their bills on time if you won't honor my use of your credit card?I want my money back, credited to my account immediately.Business Response

I opened up my tj maxx card and used it maybe a total of 3 times paying it off every time right away. Great payment history never late and after not even a year or more I get a letter saying my card was being closed because my score dropped, I was shocked and after calling I get a representative that tells me my score dropped first, I have never heard of a company checking your credit once the card is opened and you have a zero balance. Then they tell me because my credit score dropped which is due to a fraud on my account and I have an open identity theft case. He told me it did not matter my account was being closed did not matter and because I have a home loan opened with a high balance. This did not make sense because when I opened the account and had the home loan because I purchased a new home and he's telling me your balance is too high on loan and just could not really explain to me. It was unprofessional and it did bring my score down with it being closed.Business Response

My mother was an avid shopper and Marshalls. She passed away unexpectedly, and did not have an opportunity to use her numerous expenditures (which still has Marshalls and Homegoods price tags attached). I tried to return for a store credit, by a manager by the name of **** treated me as if I stole something and humiliated me in front of the store. You can only imagine how I felt being a disabled minority walking with a cane in a predominantly Caucasian environment only to be humiliated for an allegation of theft. I just want to return my moms purchases. I am not asking for a refund, but merely a store credit will suffice. Please assist.Business Response

I purchased a backpack from the Homestead location for $16.00 (plus ** sales tax).This company seems to be content selling cheaply made goods and not caring about defects that occur. This backpack lasted me a little over a month and the zipper came apart in pieces. The manager basically said that I'm stuck with a broken/defective item.This is not good business and I want nothing more than a full refund. I won't shop for purses there ever again, but I want my money back.Business Response
