      I had a distressing experience with Zales. They engaged in deceptive practices and failed to delete fraudulent debt as promised. I kindly request your help to rectify the matter and remove the negative credit item from my credit history. my ex-girlfriend opened a credit account with Zales in my name without my knowledge, incurring a $5,000 debt. I immediately reported the fraud and was assured by a representative that they would investigate and remove the debt if I paid in full. Despite paying, the negative credit item remains. Zales has been unresponsive. I turn to you for assistance in holding them accountable and ensuring the deletion of the credit item for my financial stability. Thank you for your prompt response and support.

      My husband bought me a garnet **** for Christmas, 6 months ago and the prongs broke and the stone fell out already. C*** jewelry! We didnt buy the insurance because it was $100 on a $400 ****. We took it in the get it repaired and were told it would cost approx $340 to fix. Seriously?!?!!! Even though I loved the **** Im shocked the quality is terrible. No offer to assist us or rectify the situation when we complained. I didnt wear it rock climbing or anywhere rough that could cause it to break. Truly disappointed!!!
