Who Called Us

I am so glad they called today. My bank missed making the recurring monthly eBill payment to my Sears Card. The caller verified beyound any doubt about who they were, took payment via phone, waived the late fee, and even sent me a transaction confirmation email.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Persistent caller, several times a day, off hours. I mostly let it got to voicemail, but when I pick up I get a "leave a message" recording. Given that others have posted that it's a Sears or Citibank, I'd like to add that I do have an account with them, I'll call them directly and see if that's the case.

won't leave a message. persistent caller, they call several times a day.

They have recently started calling multiple time per day. They never leave a message either. I called the number back and it say that this number has been disconnected. I have no connection with any Sears or Citibank accounts either. Seems suspicious to me.

I'm fairly sure that this is ExxonMobil (aka Citibank). They start calling about 35 seconds after you miss a due date. Seems like desparation, especially when the amount owed was $16. I'm wondering if they are going under.

This is Sears/Citibank collections.

calls start at 7:45 am and call every 1 2 hours until 8:49 7 days a week. What can you do

Got a call from this number today. I have a few accounts that have been taken over by CitiCard, but all are paid. I went through and checked all of my payments and it turns out that my payment to Goodyear through CitiCard that I made online last week didn't actually go through for some reason - a technical glitch. I remade the payment, so we'll see if the calls stop. It is annoying that when you go to call the number back, you get a disconnected notice - makes it seem kind of shady.

AP above says:
I have called the do no not call list 888 382 1222 and re registered my cell number. July 1 i think the goverment allows anyone to call the cell numbers . UNLESS you register your number.DO NOT call 888-382-1222 to give your cell number

THIS IS AN URBAN MYTH
see:


snopes.com

do not give your cell phone number out.

Calling regarding my Citibank credit card account. They had my name, and what is the balance on my account and wanted to "help" me in paying the balance by 0 interest for six months if pay $170.00 per month to them. I said NO! and was told they will be calling me every month!

oooooh

I have called the do no not call list 888 382 1222 and re registered my cell number. July 1 i think the goverment allows anyone to call the cell numbers . UNLESS you register your number. So i sugest you call right away. YOU have to call from the phone you want to register. GOOD luck all. I already reported the numbers 502 522 9998 and 502 357 7999 I also put them on my cell phone reject list so i do not see the calls when they do call. Have a good day

Nonstop collection calls from Citibank Sears card. They are knowingly calling a number that is outdated, incorrect, and obviously does not belong to their debtor. I will send them a certified letter ordering them to cease all contact, after which I will sue them in my county for $2,500 per phone call. And I'll win. If you're in California, learn about the Rosenthal Act. In California and the rest of the state, you may sue them under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

Called several times today. i told them I had made a payment plan with the REAL Citigroup and they said I was talking to the real Citigroup and then asked if the kids he heard in the background were mine. He then said if I didn't pay the full balance amount plus several collections fees to them he would have the kids taken away. Yeah, the cops are definately following upon this.

This number calls a least once every hour or more sometimes.

getting calls severaltimes a day and night....every day and night..no message and return call states this is nt a working number......also calling under 502-522-9998...same info from that number....very irritating!!!

I've had a Sears card for about 40 years. I charge something and pay the bill as soon as I get it. Now, I'm getting calls from 502-357-7999 even though I have no balance due. Sears better get wise to this. No wonder they don't have any business in their stores. No message on the answering machine and when I call back, I get the recording that this number is not in service. Another "Boiler Room" operation to obtain your personal information probably. How many people have been scammed by these folks???

Has called 8 times in 24 hours! It has to be a scam as we have no debt.

Got a call today. Asked for my husband, I said he was on deployment with the NAVY and that I was his wife and the woman hung up on me. Got a call 5 min later, same woman asking for my husband, this went on for a good hour until I threatened a call lookup and got the police involved for harrassment. Only then I was told our sears card payment was 7 days late and of course, like everyother phone operater in America...she hardly spoke a word of English. {By the way, Sears and Kmart merged a few years ago as well as bought out a few other companies, so if you get a call about your Sears Card, don't freak out, just ask what companies Sears is also a part of, you might have a card there.} If you want to call the REAL Citibank call 1-(800)-917-7700 or write them to PO Box 6283 Sioux Falls, SD 57117-6283.

They called me at 8:00 A.M. They need not call me back. I am going to block their calls!!!!

when i caled the 502-357-7999 it comes up disconnectd. i tried 1-888-285-9696 and though they were nice, they tell me they can't back into a phone number, which is BULL ... any moron can search a phone number in a database. they did give me an address to write to ... like that's gonna do anything.
p.o. box 6500 sioux falls SD 57117

They are calling from several different numbers to get around the fair calling act-
502-522-9998 and 502-357-7999 if they would leave a message at least we
could address this!

Let the call to my cell go to voice mail. Caller left message asking to speak with someone who wasn't me.

I have recieved many calls from this number I try calling the number back but it is saying wrong number.

have received many calls from this number I try

Call 1-888-285-9696 and tell them the number is wrong

I just called another number that appears to be connected to this whole nightmare - 502-522-9998. A very nice ENGLISH-SPEAKING woman told me that my fax number would be taken out of the system and they would cease. Good luck to all of you.

I've gotten literally dozens of calls to my FAX machine from Citibank Univers. I tried to call and fax them, but to no avail. Says it is not a working number. I've never had a person on the other end, just dozens of fax call/rings (double) coming in at all hours of the day to my home office! I have no accunt with Citibank or Sears, never have and NEVER will after this! I owe no one anything!

I got a call today - I missed it - they left no message - I am not behind is my sears

These people called my 83 yr. old mother about an account she had canceled and paid off two months ago! They were rude, aggressive, insulting and left her in tears! When she gave them the information they wanted--they hung up on her! She still has not recovered from Hurricane Katrina, and now this!

My caller I.D said Citibank Universal, could be my Citicard bill, forgot to pay it was due 2 days ago but paid now!.. It must cost them more in telephone calls

DOn'r even have a Sears card and owe CIti nothing but am getting calls. Never any messages

i called this number back and it said it was verizon wireless but that this no had been disconnected

They call repeatedly day and night. When I answer, no one is there, dead silence. I am on the do not call registry and, additionally, if it is Citibank for Sears, I pay my bill off in full every month. So, no need for a "collection" call.

I am also being hounded by these dirt bags. I also lost my job in January. They have been told many many times. I even asked them what hood it does to harrass and intimidate me. Even IF I got a job today it would probably be 30 days til I could even consider a payment.
The important thing is do not allow them to coerce you into any payments..... period. Until of course you are back on your feet and able to discuss a settlement. Even a payment of $1.00 re-ages the account and hurts your position. They know this and this is why they try to get even a token payment from you. Your priority is food, rent, utilities and transportation. The rest can wait. They are unsecured credit cards and they know they are in an extremely weak position. Their only hope is intimidation. Don't fall for it. You can't pay what you can't pay.

Date 8-16-09 Unknown caller ID Number Only

Sears credit card company (Citigroup, Citicards, Citicorp, all one and the same) collection department. Call from 7am-9pm manyyyyy times daily. I have all the CC companies and the different #'s they call from saved to my phone and save the ringtone as silent. That way I can actually look for work as they already know my situation and my layoff and not be disturbed!!!

Collection call for Sears Account--after already paid.

Citibank Collection Calls for Sears Credit Card. Don't they know many of us have unfortunately been laid off and collectiong unemployment until we find another job. The unemployment does not even pay enough to cover absolute necessities, yet alone a payment to them! I have asked for some kind of "grace period" until I find employment but none of the credit card companies want this. So I pay important bills....roof over head and inexpensive groceries for the belly!!!!!!!

multiple calls per day

ITS BEEN NONE STOP FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS. THE ONE TIME I WAS ASKED TO: "PLEASE WAIT FOR AN IMPORTANT PHONE CALL" I CANSELED THE CALL AND HAVE DONE SO FOR WEEKS. NAIL TO THE GROUND AND LET THEM BURN IN HELL!!!!

Sounds like a collections call from Citisomething for a SEARS account

they leave no message and just hang up when you answer

This number 5023577999 continuously calls me at all hours of the day and night!!!!

This number 5023577999 is repeatedly calling my cell for the last 3 days non-stop every 2hrs!!!. I am so sick of these MFO

we all need to find out who we owe money to so we can find out what company is calling :0) lol sears?

I didn't answer it, left no messege.

They keep calling my Fax number so therefore I don't answer, but they will call three or four times a day starting at 8:15 am every day

Numerous calls in violation of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act - daily, throughout the day, beginning before 8 a.m. and ending after 11 p.m. Every time I answer the call (ID "Kentucky" at 502.357.7999), the caller hangs up. Each time they hang up, I return the call and hear the same automated message each time, first in English, then in Spanish: "The number or code you have dialed is incorrect, please check the number or code and try again." This is followed by the following automated message: "Message 7. Switch 613." Does anybody know what "Message 7 Switch 613" means?

no message left

At a time when it would be best to hold on to what customers they have calling those who may be paying within the time allowed after the due date and are not pass due doesn't seem good business. Calling my wife when I have told them to call me and gave them my number multiple times seems like harassment. She is in poor health and these calls don't do her any good. Telling me a lie and then charging me for what they told me to is stealing. I personally hope Sears and or Citibank go belly up and the theives running them thrown in jail.

I do NOT owe this company a penny but I still get phone calls and nobody says a word to me. I don't owe Sears a penny either !

When I called the number Verizon says that the # has been disconnected or no longer in service...

they need to quit calling so much, i will pay when i have it, and i have already made a payment plan with them what more do they want???????????

leaves no message

They call several times a day never leave a message. If it really is Sears, what the hell are the calling me for. My account is paid off and I have not used my SEARS card in years.

they call my cell phone several times a day from this # and do not leave a message. If you call the # back, # is not in service

This number along with two other very very similar numbers have been calling me since 8am today! SATURDAY! I kept missing them and there was no voicemail and when I call back it's a busy tone or "call cannot be completed". This last time it called I picked up and I said Hello, then another woman said Hello and HUNG UP! Creepy

Just start talking to them like the guy in boiler room..see link-it's funny.

its from Sears and they are relentless if you are ever late on a bill they call me at 8am exactly and up to 8:59pm about 15 times a day. Hopefully bankrupty filing will stop the harrasment.

They have now called me everyday for the last week going on 8 or more times a day. When I answer there is no one there. When I call back they tell me that the number is not a working number. I don't have a Sears account, if it is Sears, so why are they constantly calling me?

I receive 5-10 calls per day and I do not have anything to do with Citibank. They have my cell number which is a "Do Not Call" number.
Guess this is a joke too.

When I answer no one is there.....this is getting real old

I do not even know why they are calling I pay my bills on time, so what's the problem?

Very very annoying. They call all day long. There is no answer when i answer my phone, just dead silence. I have tried to call the number back and it says it can not be completed as dialed. If they want to talk to me then i wish they would talk to me. If they dont want to talk to me then STOP calling and interrupting my work and personal life.

If they can collect from the Secretary Treasure, and the rest of the thieves in our government. Stop the fractional bull shit going on in banking and the other deceitful practices with money. Stop the printing of currency taking our dollar down the shitter causing inflation to go out the roof. How can any one domorethen exist these days with these bastards pinning us with their reckless spending and pushing more debt on us. W@e want the Wanta Monies back and the the Fed abolished , Paulson arrested along with the president and the Queen of England.for theft of American bankers... Citi sold out to China so go to hell and the rest of you greedy Wall Street bastards can go with them.
United States Inc ... Screwing people and loving it

I receive 4 to 5 calls per day. I have caller I.D. They do not leave a message on machine. If I answer and ask them info. such as who do they want, and why do they want to talk to that person, they hang up. They are in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. What can be done about them?????????????????

10 calls in 2 days. Does not leave a message.

Also there is an inbound number for them that does work and thats 1-800-733-1116.

You are all receiving calls from Citicards Collections. About a card that you have with them. Be it sears,macys, home depot, lowes, K-mart. When they call I suggest you answer the phone and if its the wrong number tell them so and dont hang up the phone in anger as that will just put the number back into the dialer. They have to verify you are not the person they are calling for.

I get alot of calls from this number, but never leaves a message or call back #.

Called if 1 day late! & AFTER payment received!Every day 5a-11p!Not answer bc: hang up/static /strong accent or talk fast & I can't understand/try to explain why late & get treated condescendingly/ Call& upset in-laws who have health issues-never gave that phn number! Threatened legal action bc in-laws given confidential info w/o consent! I closed account & called more NOW! I won't open account with Citibank again!

That is what they said to me!

"Everyone's run out of time, it's time to pay the piper."

Calls 3+ times a day, beginning at 9am, ending 9pm. Never leaves message. Uses different phone #s and Caller ID usually says Citibank, Citibank Universal, citigroup

Dead air. One call thus far, I will track how many times a day they are calling.

This group started calling in December. Never leaves a message and calls normally once a day, sometimes twice a day. Never have answered the phone. Sometimes under a different number and Caller ID shows up as just Citibank under that number.

these people call me 15 times a day. I have spoke to one of them and informed I do not have a late payment. They say it is a computer error, but they won't stop calling.

They call at least three times a day...I've tried calling back and the number is not a working number. I am very frustrated!!!

I have received 6 calls in one day!! Merry F----- Xmas to you Sears!!

I wish this number would stop calling me! It is really annoying. Please make it stop!!!

they keep calling so I answered, when I asked them to identify where they were calling from they hung up.

Call constantly; does not leave message.

Called them from two phones, the call would no go through from either phone. They call every day it seems and I don't even have a credit card. Caller ID says "Citibank Univer" Apparently has something to do with a Sears Mastercard that was stolen from my mother and the rude people at Sears say it is probably a debt collection call.

voice mail was left with just noise in the background

started trying to block id. useless to talk to but doesn't leave mesg.

Don't know why they would call me as my payments with SEARS are up to date. In fact, they have been calling for 3 or 4 days and my payment wasn't due until today

collectors are ruthless they have one goal to harras the Hell out of you till you pay them
I say screw them all !!!!
companies take advantage of consumers who take a credit card loan out at 20-30 percent This should be a crime . You can request that they contact you in writing and not by phone just send them a letter to their address
Citibank South Dakota, 701 E 60th St N,
Sioux Falls, SD 57104-0493

sears in insane. they can't be serious. i know bookies more flexible with payments.

they keep calling almost every hour on the hour if I don't know who they are I will not pick up. Then

oh this number also called me at 6:48 AM! on a tuesday morning

this number, along with 502-522-998, calls my cell phone 5 to 10 times a day. I have reported it to both donotcall.gov and filed a complaint with the FTC on their website. I called Verizon and asked to have the numbers blocked, but they say they cannot. However, the verizon rep told me that 502-357-7999 belongs to Adelphia Business Solutions.

I keep getting calls from this number and I don't know who it is so I don't answer and when they let the machine pick up they don't leave a message, I am tired of this how can I make them stopp calling?

WOW how annoying, they have called twice in the last HOUR and then I tried to call them back and the call wont go thru...this is harrassment, the card is in my husbands name and they DO tell me that when I do get a semi english speaking person and then tell me I have no legal obligation for this account, ok if thats the case, WHY CALL ME??? Ugh is there a way to report this?

I get calls from this number about 3 in a day, then it skips a day then starts over.no message. I have had a Sears account, but I understand they might be calling for
K-Mart. I have never had a K-mart account. I did log on a complaint about a K-mart employee, then the calls started. beware

called, left message

why can't these idiots leave a specific message letting you know what they want. Till that happens, KISS MY BUTT!!!

ready for this? they call 18 times on fathers day,which was a sunday 14 times every single day, i try to speak with them no understands english, i know i owe a bill of which i already paid and they still call, because of a disputed charge,they start at 5 am non stop till 11 in the evening

called 3 times so far this morning and its only 12 noon...

I have received 4 phone calls from this number in the last two days. Two of them were yesterday (on a Sunday). One was at 7:45pm and woke me out of a sound sleep. The other numbers were 5025229988 of which I received at least 6 today alone. I have tried answer 4 of them today and two yesterday and there was no one there. I am a heart patient and it has not been a year yet since my surgery. I realize I am about 10 days late with a payment and I intends to remedy that this week. Enough is enough. I have been ill again the past two weeks and I do not need this harassment. thank you.

have received 8 calls in the last 3 days from this # & 5 from a similar # -
this is harassment - no messages left

they call 3 times a day and they never quit.

Someone from this number call s my number 4 to 5 times a day. I want this stoped if you need to commcate with someone, please send a lettler or email. If this does not stop Iam call the FCC and FBC and report Citibank.
Please stop call me.

I have received calls five times a day for the last week and a half. They do not leave message and according to this site, the calls are from Citibank.

This is a collection call from citibank. Citibank now runs the old ATT universal card and the old Sears charge among others.

I also get other numbers that are similar- they all share the same area code
502-522-9998 and 502-357-7999
Does the Sears company know about this scam?

Started a week ago and it hasn't stopped yet. 5-8 times a day. I haven't answered once since I assume it's a scam. How long will they call until they guess its not a working number?

They start calling at 8:00AM and call up until 9:00PM. They also call from 502-522-9998. This goes on all day every day...including week-ends.

get seveal calls from this one, but never leaves a message or call back #.

They called me 3 times in a row today. I did not know who they were so I called the number back. It first rang busy then said it was a non working number.

They call numerous times a day starting at 8am and ending at 845 pm. They will call and 1st it will show unknown caller, then within 1 minute you get another call from this number. Shows up as unknown caller but gives this number. Gets monotonous all day long.

They have been calling me more than 22 times in one day, I told them I do not have any tipe of credicards, and they still wants to talk to Ashley, if you know her please let me know!!!!!

citybank (sears CC) They are an annoying KY hilljack collection group working for Citybank. They will announce themselves when asked as working for City Inc (not citybank). They will call 3-4 times a day stating at 9 AM and not ending till 10 PM.

no message

This number calls me atleast three times a day, does not leave a message. If they try to leave a message it is a woman saying "Is Lauren there?"

3 calls today ,no message ,driving me nuts.Reported.

The call saying that I have missed a payment called number on card no payment missing
its a scam artist

They call several times a day despite being informed that they have the wrong number

they call 3 times a day and they never quit. who are they?

They call my cell number a couple of times a day about my Sears account...I don't even HAVE a Sears account!!!

My understanding is they can only call one time? I have received 3 calls so far in one day. It displays the above phone number.

3 calls from this number, no messages.

get alot of calls from this one, but never leaves a message or call back #.

Numerous calls in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
