The worst part of this company’s online payment system is you are not able to pick a date, it has to be that min you click on Make Payment. Their only option is to pay immediately or setup AutoPay.... See more

Montgomery Wards Sells Couterfit Items!

I ordered a super plush sofa that claims to have foam stuffing. Instead of recieving foam, the sofa had bedsprings, probably from an old matress that was thrown onto the street!! Montgomery Wards are defenately fraudulent! The sofa looked nothing like the photo. This is considered false advertising and deceptive buisness practice! The sofa was hard and lumpy because the only material inside was springs that appeared to be inserted from an old matteress! The sofa was ugly and unatractive! Montgomery Wards is iniciating the sales of counterfit items!! The sofa also contaned defective side mounts where the screws were to be inserted. There is a solid bar behind the holes where we should have been provided screws for. There were only latches. The entire frame fell apart! My husband contacted customer service and demanded a refund! The customer represenative offered a replacement but when she noticed that I cought onto the product as counterfit she suddenly informed us that this product is no longer available! This company will be reported to the Federal Trade Commission and will be investigated! They messed with the wrong person! I have colledge level experience!!!!

Montgomery Ward SUCKS BIGLY!!!

Montgomery Ward SUCKS BIGLY!!!! It is the BIGGEST SCAM going!!!! I see why their stores closed....for public safety! If you get their catalog in the mail, burn it before they butcher your credit like they have mine. In an effort to establish good credit I fell for their catalog scam "Your Pre-Approved for $400". I placed a small order of $126 just to show timely payments to the credit bureau and pay it off quickly. After the items arrived and after not being able to log on to view my account and after begging their so called customer service dept for my due date I finally got logged onto my account only to discover that instead of approving me for the $400 their lying catalog stated, they only approved me for $100!!...which would have been fine had they let me know that BEFORE I placed my order but noooo, in an effort to fleece me for more money they pushed the $126 order through anyway which destroyed my credit utilization and DAMAGES MY CREDIT INSTEAD OF BUILDING IT!! ANTONIO and his supervisor FLORANCE in the credit dept were unwilling to adjust the credit limit even enough to cover the $26 it's over. Their solution was "Oh well, just wait for the bill and MAKE YOUR PAYMENTS" They don't give a toss that they've destroyed my credit!! And just to show their level of "winning customer service" I asked ANTONIO if I could close the account online after I make my payments because it's difficult to get to a live rep and once you get to her (the same one each time) she sounds drunk and every answer is "I don't know". ANTONIO couldn't wait to belt out "I can put in a request to close it right now!!" This is the most disgusting and unprofessional company I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with. They're not even subprime, they're gutter! Suck it Montgomery Ward...Suck it!!!!

Bad for the credit score

It's easy to get credit, and the terms are great, but if you value your credit score, stay away. They let you exceed your credit limit and then keep the limit the same, thus killing your credit score. The credit department said they couldn't help me as everything is done automatically, whatever that means. Guess I'm going to pay it off asap and forget about them.

If I could give ZERO stars I would

If I could give ZERO stars I would! I’ve always paid on time or even ahead of time, have never missed a payment. Go to make my payment and all my available credit is gone . I have not gotten ONE single logical reason for this, just 4 different answers with a lot of attitude from a supervisor. Horrible service!

Fraudulent company

I kept trying to use their automated system to make a payment and it kept rejecting it. Finally I contacted customer service. They assured me they wouldn't charge me the $2.00 fee and when I checked it they did! I contacted a Supervisor who told me she would clear the account. She did, for a week! I rechecked it, now they are trying to recharge me $95.00!! I am NOT PAYING these people one more dime!!!!!!

Terrible practices!

Terrible practices!! First of all, your credit expires. So if you want to order a second time from them, they have to to run your credit all over again. The way they report you account to the credit bureaus actually HURT your credit. It’s not worth the time or trouble. I just paid off my balance and I will never support them again.

Beware Of Bed Bugs In Your Order...

I paid $280.00 for a beautiful bedroom set with bedspread, curtians, pillows the shebang..
About 3 weeks later I start getting little bits all over me while I slept..
The comforter was full of bed bugs and eggs.
I now have no pretty bedroom set, no bed and because I transferred their eggs on my clothing now have no living room set.
So I'm actually out the $280.00 for the comforter set, &250.00 for my mattress, $700.00 for my living room furniture and $600.00 for the bugman.
$$1830.00 later I found out that just because their credit line seems unreal...Believe me it's not worth the final cost in the end if they are spreading these Filthy Blood Sucking Leaches into YOUR HOME!!!

Don't apply it's a scam.

Do not! apply for Montgomery wards credit first they do a hard pull on your credit then you have to go all the way to check out before you can apply for the credit then they do not tell you if you are approved or not. They sent me a email and couldn't even spell nor did it make any sense.first told me item would be ship then told me no. Would send letter, And evey time I log in it said something different I wish I never applied..it is crazy mess is what it is stay away if your trying build credit.

I absolutely love this company and anything I need help with I know when I call it will be taken care of. I would like to thank Me. Carol Kisner for her time, patience and knowledge of helping me today with an issue that was addressed before ending the call. This company should be proud of having her as an employee.

Would give 0 stars

Would give 0 stars. Terrible ordering process. Ordered curio cabinet online on 6/19. Got order confirmation and order. Called almost 2 weeks later to inquire about order. Kept getting the runaround about my card and how they needed to send accounting a memo verifying that my address matched my card. I verified it and that still did not help get my order shipped out. I just canceled the order. Never had trouble ordering online oth any other company with my card but this company needs better practices and knowledgeable customer service staff. Just terrible.

Crooked company

I ordered a two piece product from their website which I only received one piece (Rover Bench and Shelf). I called to confirm the second piece was coming and received confirmation that it was. Three days later it still hadn’t come I call again and all of a sudden the website had changed and now the two pieces are charged separately. The cost is now $90 more for the second piece!

I Have Been An account holder since…

I Have Been An account holder since 2015.. I HAVE NEVER BEEN LATE OR MISSED A PAYMENT. I have been given a high. Credit. Limit but have barely went to 500 dollar I ordered. Solar lights last year which never came. I eventually cancelled order. I saw the same lights again, reordered .the total came to about $275. I called to get status and was told items$69.00 a piece was on hooked because my credit bureaus were locked and a letter would becoming. In the mail. I currently owe them. About $235.00. It's beyond me why a credit pull would even be needed. I actually started to lift the freeze but after talking with their credit department and thinking about all the over priced items I have purchased in the past, seeing same items for less elsewhere and the outrageous shipping fees I have decided to pay account off and close it out! I was going to unfreeze my credit reports just so they could see I am a valued customer,someone to keep who pays all her accounts on time every month, then I thought my payment history should speak for itself! I told them to close my account and I will just pay it off today.. but i thiught about it,, I can shop ANYWHERE so I will just continue as I have been doing and when balance is zero.- freeze them permanently. I agree with all the reviews I have read today. They are not customer friendly. I would not recommend them.

Scandalous

I paid off my account with Montgomery ward, when all of a sudden there was a bill from an account that is not ours. I contacted them, disputed that account, had several conversations, and every time I turn around they lie again saying I acknowledged the debt, and put down my right for dispute. I pay my own bills, but I will not pay something that I did not create, did not order, and therefore did not receive. Their customer service is absolutely scandalous. And while I am disputing this fake account, they froze all the credit that I had on my legitimate one. So let them keep it, Montgomery Ward is not the only company in this country
