They’re still at it.
I’ve just started receiving the same type of calls. Interesting twist, though. My Bloomingdale’s card has had a $0 balance for over year. I haven’t used it either. I’m seeing multiple reports online of phantom charges showing up people’s credit cards, and Bloomingdale’s failing to do anything about it.
They never learn.

I am very, VERY happy with this Law suit. Last year on November 2014 I receive many calls from Debt Collection. This was a night mare!!!! I called macy’s customer Service many time and they automatically transfer me to Debt Collection. They didn’t want to listen the true only I was treated as a theft and they screamed to me and hung up the phone. After I went to Macy’s at Valley Fair, Santa Clara Ca; and Talk with the Manager and explain him the problem and show them all the receipts that I had. The Manager called them and explain them the reason I didn’t pay my bill was because I had credit (money in Macy’s account) even that they don’t want to recognize and force me to pay late payment plus $25 at that moment in the store to open my account again because my Account was in Debt Collection, the Manager was in shock!!! He told me never ever he hear something like this!!! Curious the bill was lower than $200.00 that I had in Macy”s Account and they will fix it the follow cycle!!! For this reason I am very happy with this action! God takes but not forgotten!
