      On July 16, 2022, I placed Order# ************, which included an order for a front slit sheath dress, size 2 petite, in color hibiscus. The dress arrived in used condition, with deodorant stains on it, as it had been worn. The dress also looked nothing like what was pictured on Ann Taylor's website. Ann Taylor committed deceptive trade practice and provided defective merchandise. I emailed Ann Taylor on July 26, 2022, the day I received the defective dress, asking for a return label, with paid postage, because I would not pay my own $8 to return this defective merchandise, and Ann Taylor did not respond. I want my purchase price refunded for this defective merchandise and I will not pay my own $8 to return this dress.

      Hello

      *************** on behalf of BBB Concern #********. This client reached out regarding an item from an online order which arrived damaged. Upon review the client sent an email into ****** Services on 7/22, and on 7/23 a reply was sent explaining how to return the defective item free of charge. It appears this email was not received by the client, creating the miscommunication. We have followed up with the client again on 8/5 apologizing about the situation, and again advising on how to complete her defective return by mail free of charge. Her online order has also been noted accordingly to ensure she receives a full refund upon returning her item. Thank you.

      Hi, I am a cancer Scientist who is a loyal client for Ann Taylor for last 15 years. I came from ***** and loved the Ann Taylor clothing as they were perfect for my petite ****** body shape. Even my LinkedIn pictures (all of them have Ann Taylor clothes on me). I am very disappointed and frustrated that I have to write to you regarding a dispute. I purchased a dress on August 19, 2021 for $117 and paid through my credit card. The store lady in ********** ********** was pressuring me to open a card which I was refusing again and again - firstly I live in ******* ***** and was leaving Cali. Secondly, its just hard for me to manage many cards. She opened the card anyways. I never received the card in the mail. I already paid for the dress through my credit card. She charged both the cards. Now, I am harassed by the debt collectors for $427 amount. This is a very bad situation and harassment. I reached out to the customer service several times and explained to them and its never resolved. How I will ever trust Ann Taylor again and go in the store and buy something for myself? Now, I am calling everyday to the customer service to remind them that I already told them about this dispute. Please advise so that no one should go through this ever again. I can pay $427 from my hard earned money but do you think this will be the justice for me. I have paid a lot of money for all the clothes I bought from Ann Taylor since 2010 snd I am very proud of those clothes. Thank you,*************************, PhD ****** scientific manager - cancer research

This credit card is operated by ************** and in the interest of customer service we reached out to Comenity on behalf of the client to try and resolve. As of today we've received confirmation that the billing dispute was resolved in the client's favor. We've also communicated this to the client directly. Thank you.
