It was banana republic credit dept calling to verify credit card apps I submitted online.

Got a call from them Sat morning about 11 a.m.  It was from GE Money. They're a credit card co. owned by General Electric, which also owns NBC.  I had applied for a credit card online at ShopNBC.com.  They were just calling to ask questions about/verify my application.

They ask 3 or 4 questions that are multiple-choice and are based on public records... but things that fraudsters wouldn't know.  For instance, they ask "In what county is 123 Main Street?" (which would have been a previous address of yours).

When you apply, it says you'll be considered for the ShopNBC MasterCard (or was it Visa?) and if you're not approved for it then you'll be considered for the ShopNBC credit card, which can only be used for their stuff they sell on their ShopNBC TV channel.  The response I got back after I submitted my app online was that I'd be notified by mail of their decision, which I thought meant I was denied for both cards.  But after they asked their questions over the phone, they said "Congratulations, you're approved".

theis company doesn;t take the word no, that the person they are looking for at this number doesn;t live here. the customer service person was rude and accused me of lying. I just got this frigging number and already having problems from the prior people who had it!!!!

Seems fishy...

They have been calling 2-6 times per day for about 2 weeks now. Sometimes on Saturdays and Sundays at 8 AM like today. They called back again today at 11:00 AM, this time we answered it armed with the info from this site.

They identified themselves as being from GE Money with a Pakistani or Indian accent. (My wife had re-activated her JCPenny)card approx. 3 months ago to purchase a last minute item. She to date has not received a bill, nor has she received a replacement card. Out of sight, out of mind.

When she answered, (there was an automated message, followed  by some silence)...finally the woman on the other end advised that they had not received her payment and her account was now past due. The address the woman had on file was from a place my wife lived 5 addresses and 10 years ago!

My wife advised her that she had given the store she was at all the correct contact information when she was there to re-instate her card.

In fact, she gave them her cell phone number at the time of re-application, not this house line - so how did they know to call here? They have never called her cell.

The woman wanted to get her current address to "update" their records, but my wife advised her that she had been reading about this phone number online, that it was a potential for fraud, that she would go to the store to update her contact info (even though they SHOULD already have the correct info), and pay off the measly $100 card bill. She asked for the woman to please stop calling here. The woman on the other end hung up on her.

Real professional.

The first time the guy called, he asked for my brother, who does not live with me. when I asked to take a mess, the guy hung up. So in a few hours the guy calls back and ask for my brother again, I just simply said " when's the last time you heard one of these (click)", I hung up on him first. Now he calls 3 times a day some times, and has started calling with unknown number, so when I see it is one of those, I awnser and with, "ching chong cnang take out, can I have your order?" Im going to make him crazy before he gets to me!!!!!

They have been calling 3 time a day for the last 10 days.  If it continues 4 more days I'll report it to the FCC.  They are asking for a person that doesn't live here.  My wife answered once a hung up on them.  They just don't quit.

someone with indian accent called on a holiday asking for our neighbor who  used my address on her credit card /  this company was given the appropriate info long ago, and continues to harass us.

the number is from GE Money it comes back to one of thier call centers they provide credit card service to multi stores if you are having problems ask to speak with a manger best way to deal with it or have yourself removed from the auto dialer systems if the information is in correct

This call came in on my cell phone.  I believe it is GE Money Bank.  What they want, I have no idea.

stop calling me i dont know who you are

Got a call from GE Collection tonight saying my 88 year old, bedridden mother in law had missed 2 payments and wanting immediate payment.  She could not have been making any charges from her nursing home.  So now Penney's is saying she has a $500 balance and wants $79 immediately.  Don't even know where to start to figure out who ran up these charges.

I've gotten a call from this number so many times already asking for "May Hannah"- which isn't my name.
 i've asked them to take this number off the list--most apologized but the last person just hung up when i said that.

How do i shake them off?

Who would call a person to conduct business over cell phone , stupid.

Called my c-phone, did not leave a message.

This is a legitimate call to inform and collect a past-due balance on a Banana Republic credit card.  The woman who called me left a polite message.  She did not disclose why she was calling in the voicemail.  I returned the call and spoke to a pleasant, American woman who provided me all the information I requested about my credit card balance, last payment, and how I was contacted to be informed that I had a bill to pay.  It turns out this company had sent me 3 emails that I apparently ignored informing me of balance due, and balance past-due.  Ultimately I am pleased that someone called me to get my attention so I would pay this card balance reducing the impact to my credit by further delays.

Some came jockey wanted to know it I had received an application. Hung up. Whatever happened to good ol America? If I hear a jabber or ANYONE who has an accent- other than Texas- blow me and lose my number.

As USUAL, I get the call with a [***] who I cannot understand. What has happened to America? I will not answer to any accent other than Texas.

The caller leaves a message asking me to call them back. They say they're from Lowe's. NOTE: my smart phone automatically block this number. It must know something I didn't.

I had been receiving calls from this, got furious and called back. Of course the gentleman has a thick accent & I was ready to let him have it. After asking why are you calling me 3 times, I was finally able to make out Synchrony Bank. I have a Walmart acct, which is thru Synchrony Bank. He was calling due to my past due acct. Then I realized that it's a call center..
