My husband called Wal-Mart Credit Card customer service to change our address due to a move beginning of October 2008. Since the customer service is handled overseas (big shock) by Indians that can't understand English, much less speak it coherently, the address was entered incorrectly. That caused the next statement to be mailed to an incorrect address and after much forwarding by the post office, reached us too late to make payment on time and therefore, Wal-Mart added a late fee. My husband called the customer service who promptly fixed their mistake, removed the late fee, and apologized for their error.

In November, we received nothing from Wal-Mart.

Today, we received a statement from Wal-Mart with the correct address, again with more late fees, and our credit limit was reduced from $3500 down to $700!

My husband called customer service again today. They apologized for their error AGAIN, and removed the late fees, but refused to restore the credit limit because of "late pay showing on the credit report" FROM WALMART CREDIT CARD, which we were late DUE TO THEIR ERRORS!

This happened because their customer service is the same customer service for the entire world, but since they can't speak and understand English, they should not be permitted to assist English speaking customers because they make far too many errors and make the customer pay for their mistakes!

Needless to say, as unhappy/unsatisfied customers, my husband told them to cancel his credit card, we will never be shopping at Wal-Mart again, and he tore up his card.

Wal-Mart obviously believes itself to be above reproach, but the more we learn about Wal-Mart, the further down the ladder it sinks!

FILE COMPLAINTS WITH THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION AND OFFICE OF THRIFT SUPERVISION

GEMB CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO DO RIGHT BY ITS CUSTOMERS

You have to do both. The OTS will get it resolved for you.

GEMB WILL ONLY IGNORE YOU - I know this for a fact because they only respond to complaints that come through the Office of Thrift Supervision. They completely ignored my attempts to get them to resolve the problems they created.

Mine also had to do with an address change - one they made it themselves without my consent.
I have their admission in writing thanks to the OTS. The address change was only 1 issue, there were several more that were also fixed.

Still pending is their refusal to remove fraudulent charges from my account. They cannot validate the charges were authorized, so my 3rd demand for the removal of the fraudulent charGes was faxed to the OTS this morning.


THEY LIE TOO - GEMB has been lowering everyone's credit limit across the board.
If you call and complain - they lie and say it was changes in your credit report - when in fact it was the companies decision to do it everyone regardless of your excellent credit history and NO CHANGES
