      I was encouraged to open a Maurices store credit card while shopping one day. The associated told me it would save me money. I decided I would try out the card. She told me I could use the card that day, save some money and then immediately pay it off in the store that same day so I would not have to worry about the bill. I did this. Then a month later I got mail from the company. I almost didn't open the mailer as I assumed I would have no bill and that it must be coupons or adverstisments. I was annoyed to find I had a three dollar and some change bill. I was frustrated as It could have gone into deliquency since I had been told it was paid off and almost ignored it. I called the line to pay off the bill and close my account, which I was then told happened. The next month I then got another bill. I called again and they said the payment didn't go through. As I had spent several hours on the phone with the credit card company at this point and had attempted to pay and close the card I asked them to do take care of the three dollar charge and just let me be done. The said it had been balanced to zero and that It was closed. This month I now have another bill for eleven dollars and some change. I do not know what to do and how to resolve this. I do not want to spend any more of my time trying to deal with this business and I am beyond frustrated.

      I was checking out in a Maurices store and the clerk asked if I would like to sign up for a card. I did and the purchase was charged. Apparently, I already had an account that I hadn't used for MANY many years that I didn't even remember having. I have had the same mailing address for 12 years so it would've been prior to that. However, they did NOT bother to update my address based off the application I filled out so I never received a card or a bill. I guess it's safe to assume that no one ever moves???? Then they tacked on a bunch of late fees and interest for a bill that I never received because of their negligence in updating my contact information. This is definitely negligent practice and if you look at the fees they added, probably fraudulent as well. They made NO attempt to contact me: my email address hasn't changed, my phone number remains the same for 20+ years so if they had tried, they would have found me. Instead, they tacked on fees and sent it to credit, hurting my credit score AND sent to a collection company all because they couldn't update an account that hadn't been used for nearly a decade!! I pay all of my credit card bills in full every month (reflective in my credit score) and would've liked the opportunity to pay this bill but was robbed that privilege by negligent practice of not sending a bill to the address I had written on my application!!!! Funny, the collection company found me with no problem so obviously Maurices didn't even try!

      Hello, 

      Thank you for reaching out to maurices. 

      I reached out to our contact at the complaints department for the maurices credit card. I received this response.

      It was closed on 7/29/24 from Cardholder Inquiry with the following note.

      Hi, 

      As previously stated, we have sent the customer a letter on July 24, 2024, with the outcome of our Investigation. Have a great week!

      If you have not received that letter please let me know so I can let our MCC vendor know. 

      Thank you,

      Hello, 
      Thank you for reaching out to maurices.com.

      I do apologize for the inconvenience and frustration this has caused. 

      Unfortunately, our credit card is held by a third party, and we do not have any access to your credit card account. That is why we have to send these concerns on to Bread Financials complaints department to have them resolved. 

      ***** stated that they sent a letter on July 24th with their findings from their investigation. If you have not received that letter or unsatisfied with their findings you will want to reach out to them directly at **************, They will be able to assist you with any questions or further concerns, you have about your credit card account. 

      Thank you,

      I sent a online bill pay on 5/9 via ***** Fargo, they sent a paper check. Maurices claimed it was not received so I was advised to do a stop pay and just repay via Maurices Credit Card website. I did this on 5/28. The account was then current. On 5/31 they received the stop pay check and tried to cash it even though my account had no balance and then charged me a 30 dollar return charge fee. I have called multiple times their customer service line and messaged online with no assistance received. It is absolutely appalling the service I have received from them. I understand the credit card might be outsourced to *************** but I signed up via Maurices store so they should be able to assist.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. However, I have closed the credit card account and will never utilize it again. I highly encourage, Maurices to review other banks for their credit card as this does affect their reputation partnering with such terrible company. 

      Thank you for your assistance!

      Your company sold my email address to a company I have never heard of nor have I ever visited their website. I know this because yesterday, June 14, 2024, I signed up on your website to receive a promotional discount which required me to put in my email address and phone number. When I realized that you charge $6 for a return shipping, I unsubscribed. This morning, June 15, 2024, I received email junk from a store called **********. I have never heard of this store, nor did I sign up for this store. What are you going to do about my email having been sold to other companies? That's not cool. Very few businesses have this email that I put into your system to receive that promotional discount. I'd like to know what you're going to do to fix this before I go above the BBB.

      Hello, 

      Thank you for reaching out to maurices.com. 

      I was able to review your interactions with our CARE team. I do see that they requested further information from you in regard to this incident. They asked for a photo of the invoice that showed there was only 1 item as well a picture of the shipping label.

      It does also appear that they had reached out to our fulfillment department, and they confirmed all items were packed in the package before shipment.

      Before we can assist you further, we do need to information requested.

      Again, thank you for reaching out to maurices. 

      As stated before, I checked with our fulfillment center, and they confirmed all items were packed and shipped. I do see that our customer service team requested that you file a claim with **** for the missing items and provide us with the claim number and then our team would be able to refund the package for you. 

      Can you please provide your **** claim number?

      Thank you,

They can't do anything I opened the package myself only 1 item in there. Packaging warehouse did not package everything this is invoice of what they packaged. They messed up. Please refund.

      I placed a large order online (order # OMAW269655950) on 02/25/2024 and received the order on Wednesday 02/28/2024, but when I opened the package I noticed I was missing 3 items along with the packing slip (missing item numbers: ******, ******, & ******). The order details online indicated that the entire order was shipped in one package, nothing had been updated to say it was removed from my order - everything that I'm missing still reflected to be a part of the order that was shipped to me. I tried using the *** customer support on Friday 03/01/2024 which didn't work because it kept telling me to chose from the options by clicking on them but I couldn't click on anything in the text messages and when I would try to type out what I would have clicked on, it just kept saying it didn't understand and to click on the appropriate option. I tried the online chat support and didn't get anywhere with that either because it's an "automated" chat where you chose from options (like what it was trying to get me to do via text message) but there wasn't any category or option to chose from that related to my issue. I ended up emailing customer support about my issue on Sunday 03/03/2024 and I received an auto-generated reply 1 minute after I sent the email saying "help is on the way" - indicating that my email was received by Maurices ***************************** with a memo saying "Can't wait? Chat with us LIVE online" - but I can't chat with them LIVE online! I still have not heard back from anyone at Maurices about my order missing 3 items and the packing slip as of today 03/06/2024. I am very disappointed in Maurices' *****************

      I placed order OMAW264295248 on 1/4 and my entire order was cancelled on 1/5. I hadnt received a refund by 1/10 so I reached out asking about the status of the refund. They told me I could expect the refund by 1/12. I was told to reach out 1/12 if I hadnt received a refund by then, Its is now 1/12 and I have not received a refund. I have attempted to contact customer service and customer service is incredibly hard to get a hold of.

      We were able to look into this further with our customer service team and it looks like you were able to connect with them on 1/12. Because the order was cancelled, the authorization should have come off the account within 3-5 days. Additionally, per your conversation with our customer service team, it looks like your gift card was refunded and an e-gift card was sent.
