    Kohl's created a duplicate order. I had to make several trips to the dept. store to return the stuff I never ordered. They first refused to give me credits. It's been 6 weeks & I'm still waiting for credits. Bedford Fair refused to acknowledge my returned mdse... DID the same thing. It took 6 weeks for them to credit my account. Both businesses are out to make money. They don't care about the customers or the fact that they (Kohl's) created mistakes on their websites. You can't even get refunded for the shipping & handling costs. You have to fight with them online & on the phone. Then you get the credit 6 weeks later. They both suck.

    I signed up for a Kohl's charge card back in 2009 and shortly thereafter was diagnosed with cancer. One day several years later I looked at odd billing at the bottom of my bill from Kohl's that looked like a charge for 14.99 and it was billed twice. I had never noticed this billing before the double billing as I didn't realize I should always read the whole bill in case the company is trying to scam me...... Well, they had been billing me 14.99 for three years and I hadn't noticed it until they double billed me!

    I called asking what I was being billed for and they said I had "Privacy Guard." I asked what that was as I had never heard of that and they explained that I had signed up for it. Well, how do you sign up for something you don't even know about? They said when I was at the register and signing up for an account a button was pushed (by whom I don't know as it wasn't me) and that is how I got "Privacy Guard". I wrote letters to no avail..... and I lost $540.00. Now can anyone tell me Kohl's is a good company????? NOT!

    Ordered a Keurig online with my Kohl's account and had it shipped to my son as a housewarming gift. The item got stuck in the "fulfillment process". I called the corporate customer call center (in Mexico) and it was obvious a multi-use center where they read from teleprompter. They said "The Keurig Brewer is an excellent choice and will make the most of your mornings. Upon checking your order I can assure you your order is correct and is in the fulfillment status and we will email you as soon as it ships." I said "yes, that is why I'm calling. It's been in that status for over a week. It hasn't even shipped and it was supposed to arrive three days ago." This conversation went in a circle for over ten minutes before I just hung up.

    I don't understand how a company can do this to their customers and still stay in business, especially when times are tougher and people will be a bit more choosy about where they spent their money. I emailed and called for several days and even emailed the CEO, Kevin Mansell. Eventually the item was released and shipped with standard ground shipping!!!

    While visiting the Fire Wheel Garland, Texas store, I had a bad experience. I thought I was going in for an even exchange. I had a package of crew socks I wanted to exchange for 1/4 crew socks. Both were same brand, same price. The clerk said, "Since you do not have a receipt, did you charge the items?" I said, "It was a gift card or debit card transactions". The clerk could not find the transaction and said "since I did not have the receipt, I would get a credit for the lowest price over the last 90 days and would be charged at current price." I said, "It seems only fair to charge me at lowest price over last 90 days."

    The clerk said, "No, this is not our policy". I then asked the clerk why an even exchange was so complicated and one sided in favor of the store? She had no reply but three other customers in line agreed with me. I received a $3.25 credit and a $18.40 charge making me owe $15.15. I have notified my family not to give me any more Kohl's gift cards and suggested they not shop at Kohl's. I usually receive two or three Kohl's gift cards on my birthday and at Christmas. I have shopped at Kohl's for 30 plus years but that ends today. Sorry, Kohl's, you have lost several customers.

    I visit Kohl's in Abilene, TX frequently, at least 3 times a week and spend an average of $50 per visit. I realize that is pretty frequent but they have great sales. I constantly bragged to my friends about my savings until July 30, 2013. I brought one of my girlfriends in there with me after all I did was talk about them for months. I was followed around the store the entire 2 hours I was there. When I finally checked out, the LP guy watched me like a hawk through a checkout. As we were walking out, he stopped me and asked to search my bags. I asked him why? He responded, "I see you come into my store frequently and I don't understand how you can buy so much stuff". I thought they were happy about having frequent customers, not concerned about the shopaholic that I am. So he searched my bags, and then said "may I please check your purse?" At this point I am very, very embarrassed and very heated! I started walking away and this man has the audacity to follow me! I set him straight and haven't been back since. Congrats Kohl's, you are now losing $500 a week!

    Kohl's assessed a late fee on my account. The problem was my account was paid on time. They stated they would not report this to the Credit Bureau. Again, I was not late. Finally Kohl's realized the error. I am furious at this. They offered me a 15% discount on a future purchase. I said, "No, I am reporting Kohl's to my state agencies."

    I thought that their store policy was "no receipt, no problem". I usually make every effort to bring a receipt - but - this time did not have one (for one of the items that I was returning). I came to the store today to return 3 items - 2 of which I had the receipt for. The 3rd item - I did not have the receipt. So, I thought I could still return the item - according to their policy - and not be hassled - according to their advertising.

    HOWEVER. The clerk stated she could not find the transaction on my card. Which does not make sense to me - as I NEVER use any other card to shop at Kohl's except for my Kohl's card (can't get their discounts without using my Kohl's card - so - why would I use a different card?). Anyway....when I tried to tell her that - she handed the item back to me and flatly said, "I don't know what to tell you". So...I'm thinking to myself...why doesn't she at least get a manager!?! I asked her if she could get a manager.

    So - the manager tries to tell me the same thing. And again I had to explain that I only use my Kohl's card (when shopping at Kohl's). Then he pointed out that I did not have a receipt. So - I said "I thought Kohl's did not require a receipt to return items". Then, he said he'd give me store credit (finally, at least I get something). Then he walked away.

    A few minutes go by....and I'm still standing there (really wanting to leave but figure I might as well stick it out). I could tell they were very busy - but - wasn't sure if they remembered that I was still there. So - finally I raise my hand and ask about my store credit. The original clerk comes back and says she needs to see my ID. Huh!? So - I pull out my ID...and finally did get my 14 dollars of store credit. I left after that - just didn't feel shopping there, anymore, despite having the store credit in my hand. I went to Macy's - after that - and had a better experience.

    Normal price for box of Keurig coffee cups (18) would be $12.99. Kohl's had special Buy One Get 2nd Half Off. So should be around $18 for two. Found out at register first box was $17.99 so 2nd box was $8, total for two $26. Bait and switch. No wonder they had so many boxes on shelf. There was no bargain. Very deceptive. Not sure I will take their specials seriously going forward. Loss of trust.

    My sister & I shopped at Kohl's in Bellingham. We are from BC & Alberta. The girl told us we would save certain amount of money if we signed up for charge card. No problem. When I got my bill there was no way to pay it unless I went back to the store. I tried paying through my bank, my other charge card even with American express. NO way. Finally realized the only way to pay was with a money order. My bill at the store was only $17…Money order, stamp, USA exchange rate came to $25. You’re kidding $25 to pay for a $17 bill. My sister spent over $100 there & had the same problem. I finally cancelled my card after I talked to manager who said, “Sorry but too bad.” Canadians be aware. DONT use the card. I don't even want to shop in the store anymore.

    Consumer Affairs or the Federal Trade Commission should look into the practice of "Kohl's Cash" at Kohl's Dept. store. I believe they use bait and switch. They deduct the Kohl's cash before they deduct coupon amount. If you return an item, the credit is way, way, lower than what you purchased the item for. Therefore, every other item that you kept has risen in price. The clerk cannot explain why the amount is different because it's so confusing that it can't be explained away.

    I am an accountant and I couldn't figure out what they did after working on it for 2 hours. Then I had my husband work on it and he couldn't figure it out either. When I purchase an item from a retailer, it's like a contract. I agree to pay the asking price and the retailer agrees to sell it at that price. It is not legal to raise the prices of the items that I keep just because I return one item. This is "Bait in Switch". The price is not set if you happen to return anything. This is very bad accounting practices. I think that the consumer is being hurt by this practice because the scam is not noticed until the consumer returns an item, then it's too late. Please look into this. Thanks.

    I have been a valued customer at Kohl's for over 15 years. For the most part I would pay more than the amount due if not the whole amount. In May, I bought a $13 pair of sunglasses and around the same time I switched to a paperless statement. The next thing I know, a few months later in September, I see a phone number on my caller ID that I did not recognize. I did a Google search and turns out it was the collections department at Kohl's. Concerned, I pulled up my account and realized I had not made a payment for the sunglasses I purchased in May, which I had forgotten about (honest mistake). As it turns out, my statements were going directly into my spam folder.

    I immediately called Kohl's, apologized and made a payment over the phone for a $10 fee. I asked if this late payment was entered on my credit report and I was advised that it was. I said "Really? You had to report me for a $13.00 charge without even speaking with me?" I was then told that they have to report any late fees to the agencies. I said that is not true and that if it's a company policy thing, you guys will be out of business in no time. I said mortgage companies don't even do this to people. I was advised "they are not a bank." You will never get a supervisor on the phone so don't even try it. And the people in the "Office of the President" are just as obnoxious as the rest of the company.

    Whatever you do, don't use your Kohl's charge. If you get one to get notified of good sales, use another card! But I believe you only get the good sales by using their credit card. Shame on Kohl's!

    Excuse me, but WTF is wrong with your online payment system? I have tried numerous browsers and numerous attempts at making it to the end of the payment process and when it doesn't work, I cannot log out. I have chosen paperless billing for all the right reasons but I am going to have to go back to it until I pay off my balance and then never plan on using this cc again. Thank you.

    I went to the Glendora, CA branch to return a pair of jeans that I had previously bought with the activation of my Kohl's Charge card. I returned the jeans with ease. When I went to check my balance online and through the phone, I had not been credited the return amount of $39.99 for the jeans. Upon checking again 2 weeks later, still nothing. Having already thrown the return receipt thinking I didn't need it anymore, I returned to the store to see if they could help me track down what went wrong. The manager in the store said that they could not track down the transaction even though I knew the cashier and the exact pair of jeans I returned. Needless to say, I am furious that I am now down $39.99 because someone messed up my return process. Definitely not shopping at Kohl's again, deactivating my Kohl's Charge Card.

    Even though I paid my bill ON TIME, I was charged a late fee. I called immediately and they said they would take it off. I asked the girl what my payment would be and she gave me the amount. My next payment again was made on time but I got a phone call. So I called the number and was told I had a past due amount. To make a long story short, Kohl’s has lost a loyal customer because their billing and customer service stinks. Even as I'm writing this, they have called again with the same robotic answers and unhelpful responses to the wrong doing. Basically pay their minimum due which now reflects TWO late payments that they are to give me credit for. Also, I'm sure interest will be charged on these bogus fees. I'm done with Kohl's and this charge card!

    I returned a Neato vacuum that we received as a house-warming gift since we already had something similar to it and we didn't need another one. They accepted it back and I was told due to the amount of money, I would be getting a corporate check in the mail and that it should take between 7 to 10 days to receive. It has now been almost a month and I still have not received a check in the mail. I contacted them several times and they keep telling me that they are looking into the purchase and once they get all of the information, they will send the check.

    I have never experienced anything like this in my life. I don't know how this store can take your item and not give you anything in return not even store credit, which I would have gladly taken had they offered it. Had I known that it was going to take this long and be this difficult to receive credit for a returned item, then I would have never returned the item nor should Kohl's have taken the item in return.

    I purchased 3 items on my Kohl's card and was waiting for the bill to come in. I pay my bills as soon as I get them and, as a result, have an 8. credit rating. The bill comes in with no items listed, only a total due with a $25 late fee attached to it. I called and made a complaint that I had never received a bill for the purchases and asked to speak to a supervisor. The person spoke with her supervisor and said they would remove the $25 fee if I paid the balance immediately. I told her that I paid my bills online, but she told me that unless I paid over the phone with a debit card, I would be charged $10 for a processing fee. I paid the total balance of about $89 with my debit card and got a confirmation number. I submit that they purposely send out the bills late so that they can collect the $25 late fee and, on top of it, they coerce you to make the payment immediately over the phone or they will charge you a fee of $10. I feel their practices should be investigated because they are playing games with the consumers. Thank you.

I was so angry when I got the skirt and it had a huge snag and hole on the front. Who would even send merchandise like this??? I emailed customer service... All I got for a reply was, "so sorry," "item is no longer available, can't ship out another" and " we will refund your purchase" blah, blah, blah.

    Since I never received my statements or Kohl's card (just have the temporary one), I called the Kohl's customer service line to see how much I owed them to pay off my balance in full. I always pay my balance in full and on time. They stated I owed them 74 dollars and told me I could pay over the phone or avoid the extra processing fee by paying at the store. That same day, I went to the store and confirmed with the clerk that I owed 74 dollars to bring my account current to $0.00. I paid the full amount and went on my merry way.

    Weeks passed and I get harassing calls from Kohl's (they don't leave a message nor identify themselves on voice mail). When I called back, they said they never got their 74 dollars and are now charging me a LATE FEE. I told them I had written a check on time at a Kohl's store and also had a copy of the check and my bank statement which showed they took the money out of my account. After much more back and forth (weeks), they apologized to me and stated that they posted it to the wrong account and would waive the late fee.

    A few months went by and I made another purchase at Kohl's with my card. A couple of weeks after that, I called Kohl's to pay off my full balance on time as always and they said I have a late fee because I owed them 26 dollars from months ago and have several late fees due to the 26 bucks. When I told them I haven't bought anything from Kohl's in several months, they explained back when they told me I owed 74 dollars, I actually owed 100 dollars (???) so they need the 26 dollar difference and all the late fees it had accumulated. I was upset by this time stating I asked the customer service line AND the store how much I owed to bring my balance to $0.00 and they both stated 74 dollars. They didn't care and would not waive the late fees although it was KOHL'S mistake BOTH times.

    I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told one would call me back in the next day or so. I never got a call. I followed up the next week and was told one would call me back. This went back and forth a few more weeks till finally I called myself and a customer service rep, Carlos # 88 stated it was Kohl's mistake and he would waive all the late fees. I paid my balance off to $0.00. I asked him since I had waited so long for a Kohl's supervisor to contact me (which they never did, I had to call) if it would affect my credit score. Carlos assured me it would not have been and would not be reported to the credit bureau.

    Three months passed and my husband and I are in the process of buying our 1st home with our credit scores over 700s. The mortgage lender informed me that I have a credit ding from Kohl's for 2 late payments (the 2 late fees that had been "waived"). This brought my credit score down almost 100 points! If Kohl's did not correct this error, we would lose our house. They simply said Kohl's has to write a letter stating they made an error and to take it off the credit report. Kohl's denied my request stating they did not make an error. They told me if I wanted to appeal the decision, I would have to write a snail mail letter to a P.O. Box address! There were no contact names or numbers, no fax, nothing, just a P.O. Box - P.O. Box 3115 in Wisconsin.

    I called Kohl's corporate today and explained what happened and to please not transfer me back to customer service because my mortgage lender needs a letter in the next few days. They immediately sent me back to customer service. I cried so hard today because no one wants to help me, I can't talk to a human being in the Billing department and we are losing our home because of Kohl's mistake. I can't believe they would even deny our request for them to write a letter to the credit bureau explaining what happened. I went to the store as well and explained my situation and they told me to call customer service. I had a terrific credit rating all my life, and I lost my chance at being able to buy my 1st house because of 26 dollars. I will never shop at Kohl's again and neither will my entire family. We are all disgusted at how they could do this to their customers. I wasn't even treated like a human being after all they've done.

    Kohl's uses methods to collect late payments from customers who set up automatic debit payments as a way to make money. Kohl's credit chasers call weekly even if a payment is made. Today I called Kohl's from a Kohl's store to verify my current balance. I spoke to a human. I paid off the balance and asked the clerk at the store to close the account. I have been making payments monthly, but they want more than I can afford so they continually charge me late fees. Yes, I have explained my situation to them. The store clerk said she could not do that. I called Kohl's again from the store and spoke to a human being. I requested the card be closed and explained my discontent.

    2 hours later, Kohl's is calling me and wasting my cell phone minutes. After I input all the automated information demanded, the phone went dead. I called the number that called me and they denied calling me! Then when I asked for a supervisor, they give me the script responses which does not even answer my stated questions! I have been harassed by Kohl's weekly despite making monthly payments of $25 on a balance of less than $130. I consider this harassment. By the way, Kohl's employees have a monthly quota of credit applications to solicit. Kohl's credit division is making more profit than the department stores. Do not get a Kohl's card.

    My husband is an Australian immigrant who came to this country to be with me. After doing so, he has had to build a credit rating from scratch despite his perfect rating in his homeland. We have been married for 9 years now and after working tirelessly obtaining credit card, he eventually managed to gain a credit score in the 700 range. He has never paid anything late, so his record is perfect. When you immigrate to this country, it is difficult to say the least to get credit, let alone build it. He has not been offered cards with high balances for some unknown reason like I have.

    Long story short, one of the credit cards he obtained along with several bank cards was a Kohl's card. Sadly though, that has been a disaster. To begin, he rarely receives statements, so being diligent to build that credit rating, he has made an effort to pay his account without them. However, this past year, he spent a month or so overseas visiting family, and while there, of course, he still had to pay his bills. In an attempt to make a payment on his Kohl's card, he went online to do so, but their website would not let him complete the process. He made many tireless attempts to take care of this, but with no success. Phone calls from overseas to America can be quite expensive, so he chose not to phone them.

    My husband had no difficulty paying any other cards during this trip. Upon his return, he received a call from Kohl's asking for a payment. He, of course, paid his account while also explaining the issues he had. The representative even acknowledged that others had reported issues using the website not working. After that he set up his account for automatic monthly payment, thinking this would solve the situation in the future. He then went to trade in his car thinking he would get 0 percent interest with the company. To his surprise, his credit score had dropped 130 points due to Kohl's reporting him 30 days late.

    He and I have both made several attempts to tell this story and rectify this situation on his credit score, but Kohl's has not cooperated. On the phone, they tell us they understand and will work on it because clearly this was not his fault. Even after saying this, they have sent letters refusing to change the last status with the credit bureau, stating that they have to report the truth, that the account was indeed 30 days late. I am so disgusted at this point with this company. Does anyone know what can be done concerning them? They seem to me hell bent to ruin people's credit just because they think they can. I will make yet another attempt to phone them to rectify this. Please give advice if anyone has managed to get Kohl's to be reasonable.

    I received a call from Kohl's telling me that my wife's account was past due in the amount of $82.15. I asked what the date of the last billing was, and they replied it was April with a due date of May 13th. I informed her that the date was only the 9th. She then informed me that she had not paid an April payment for $15.16. Thus, she was overdue for $15.16 and current on the rest. Nonetheless, I informed the woman that we would pay the full amount due of the latest invoice during our normal payment schedule which is typically the 2nd week of the month. She was satisfied and we hung up.

    In less than 1 hour later, I received the same call from another agent from Kohl's. I informed her that I had just spoken to an agent. I repeated my reply of paying the full amount in our next payment cycle. This did not stop her from marching on with her interrogation. I use this word because now I was being subjected to questions on method of payment, amount of payment and when she appeared satisfied, she read me some statement and then finally asked, "What is the date of your next payment?" I told her again, in our next payment cycle, typically the second week of the month for our credit cards. She continued to press.

    I finally exploded. I asked her if this is how Kohl's wanted to treat a loyal customer who had made both regular purchases and regular payments. Did they really want to threaten to report her for a $15 charge? When this did not stop her, I asked for her manager. She continued on with the same. I asked again for her manager. She continued on. I hung up in frustration. Twice in one day to be pestered for $15 from a good customer - ridiculous. In the long run, the only thing I like from this store is their socks. Finding elsewhere to shop!

    Starting about two weeks ago, I began receiving phone calls from Kohl's telling me to call and providing the number, 800-564-5740. After about the third such call left on my answering machine, I did call (even though my choice was to ignore the same because they weren't saying why I should call). When I got through the usual nightmare menu and to a customer service representative with a heavy accent, I asked what the phone calls were about but he wouldn't tell me. Instead, he expected me to provide pertinent details about myself and my account without telling me anything. After the third question, I asked him where he was (El Salvador!) and why I was getting all these phone calls - no answer - I hung up. The phone calls continued.

    After receiving about 7 more such calls, I called my local store and asked what was going on. The store manager didn't know. He gave me the same number to call as stated above, suggesting that it had something to do with my account. So I phoned again, got through the nightmare menu, got a rep and demanded a supervisor. After the full-blown explanation and a repeat of pertinent personal and account information, he said that the Patriot Act had recently been amended and required that any account holder with a P.O. Box must provide a street address. I advised him that none of the other accounts I have had made such a demand and that Kohl's would now be losing my account because of this stupidity. I demanded that the calls cease.

    This all could have been handled by letter and not with harassing phone calls.

    I have never had a problem with Kohl's before. However, my account was past due and Kohl's did not contact me on the past due amount. Instead, they called me and did not leave a message or stated to call them in reference to my account. They kept calling from different numbers with no reference. I called back a number and thought it was someone doing credit fraud and would not give them my information. I finally spoke to a supervisor, who told me the account was past due. I paid it and asked them to please to note on my account, for future reference, the company name and nature of call. He promised he would. Later that day I received 2 more calls from different numbers with no name or nature of call.

    I am trying to write to their customer service dept with a complaint; however, I am finding it difficult to find an address. This is a big turn off from the company. When this balance is paid in full, I will most likely not use their charge again. Not all consumers in America don't want to pay their bill. If the company is not representing themselves, you cannot pay in a timely manner. This new bad practice causes consumers to be more late on payment and causes companies to rob more in late fees.

    I made my payment to Kohl's online late by one day. I had a lot going on and thought I had scheduled the payment and when I went in to check the day after, the payment was not there. I went ahead and made the payment on 3/9 and called customer service the next day (3/10) to see if a late fee had been accessed and to try and get it credited back to my account. The late fee was pending in my account already and the customer service person said that they would credit the fee back to my account.

    Well, needless to say, when I looked at my April bill online (in which the new bill was not generated until 3/13 - 3 days after the late payment was credited back to my account) for my payment, it still included the late fee so I called customer service again. They told me that I still had to pay the late fee although it was credited back to my account. I was like, huh ... that makes no sense. If I get a credit, I should not have to pay it. I even broke it down in simple math and said if my account balance is $25 and a late fee of $25 was added, that would make my total account balance $50.

    Now, if Kohl's gives me a credit for the late fee of $25, that should bring my account balance back to $25 but somehow the minimum payment is still $10 + $25 late fee. That means the $25 late fee is still being included in the account balance. The only people getting a credit are Kohl's because the $25 credit that they give us, we are still paying. This has got to be a lawsuit.

    Monthly late fee was charged on my account on February 18 (Presidents Day holiday) for my payment not posting until the next day. Late fee was credited back the following month on March 12 after talking to a Kohl's account rep. Next month's bill was almost triple because amount was not taken off the monthly payment due and another late fee (even higher) was charged. This next rep on phone was rude and held my account "hostage" and made me pay this month's triple amount due, in order to take the 2nd late fee off! I will not be shopping at Kohl's anymore.

    I just spent a good 20 minutes on the phone, dealing with someone overseas regarding the late fee I received on my latest bill. Even though I paid nearly 2 weeks early, it did not meet the $25 minimum payment. I was merely trying to get the bill down to an even number, hence the previous $21.19 payment. I did not notice the minimum. It was my mistake, I do admit that. After explaining my predicament, the foreign man on the other end of the line told me the only way to reverse the charges would be to make a payment with him right then by giving him my credit card or bank slip information.

    I asked if he was located in the United States - no, of course not. I said that no, I would not provide my banking or credit card information to any person outside of the United States over the phone (seriously Kohl's, do you think we're crazy?). I told him I would be more than happy to do an online bill-pay through my usual banking establishment, as I always do ... but no, that would not suffice to reverse the charges.

    Before the call started, a message came on saying that I had qualified for a random survey after my call was over. After bickering back and forth with the heavily foreign accented "Brad", I asked for the call to be ended so that I could do the survey. Interestingly enough, the call was simply disconnected and no survey was offered. Coincidence? I think not!

    Frankly, Kohl's, I'm really disgusted. I will be paying my bill off in full and cancelling my account with you. I was an MVC gold card and everything. I enjoyed your store, spent a lot of money there over the past couple of years. My other issue, in that my credit card had expired in February and I never received a new one is now a moot point.

I understand that it was my responsibility to pay the bill on time and it was within their rights to charge a late fee. My complaint is the amount of the late fee; they charged me a 100% late fee. That's right, 100%, $22.74. The customer service department said it was policy. I could have understood a reasonable late fee, say 5-10%, certainly not 100%. To me, this is predatory and terrible customer service. I was a good customer. I cut up my charge card, wrote a check for the $22.74 and returned a $245.00 purchase I made yesterday.

    This is the second time this type of thing has happened to me in approximately 15 months and I got the exact same response. I placed an order online on 2/18/13. Some of the items I was ordering were needed by 3/2/13. Before ordering, I checked to see when the items would arrive and it said on or before 2/27/13. On 2/22/13, I got an email stating my order was ready to ship. On 2/26/13, I checked to see if and when my order would be arriving. The tracking information said the shipping information had been sent to FedEx but nothing else. Giving Kohl’s the benefit of the doubt, I sent an email inquiring about my order.

    Now as far as I see it, Kohl’s took my money, and screwed up my order. They are going to do absolutely nothing to correct it. They will keep my money for approximately two weeks and if I want what I originally ordered, I can re-order, re-pay for it and then they might send it to me? I guess they don't really want or need my business. I have been a gold card member for 12 years. I told them to cancel my credit card and got another form letter. And the kicker is, that while they canceled my credit card, the balance that they gave me includes the money they owe me.

    Kohl's customer service is one of the worst of the department stores. I pay most of my bills online and paid Kohl's around 12:15 AM actually on my due date of 15th. Kohl’s does state that payment needs to be before 5:00 PM Central Time. Well, I was still charged a $25.00 late fee. I called and the customer service rep told me there was an error and removed the late charge. I already paid what my minimum would have been minus the late charge and asked if I needed to pay more. She stated it was their error and everything was good. (A side note - I usually pay more than the minimum but that month was a little tight on my budget.)

    Okay now, moving ahead to my new Feb. bill due on March 15th. Since I did not pay the $25.00 late charge, Kohl's considered me late again and charged me now $35.00 late charge on the $25.00 removed late charge. Is anyone following this? Now I am really angry and of course I called Kohl's customer service and got someone named Lino, who put me on hold and refused to help unless I pay both late charges and the minimum due. When questioning about why I should pay late charges, he said even though the late charges are removed, I have to pay what is due even though what is due is in error. Does any of this make sense?

    Kohl's is in error and I have to pay for their error twice but then get credited for the error? Well Kohl's just lost another customer and they can take their Kohl's Cash scam with them, which is another story.

    I opened a Kohl's account in August 2012 believing the literature given me that for an account balance of $300 or under, the monthly payment required would be $25. I made a payment of $25 every month - on time - but one month, Kohl's did not credit my payment for 4 days and then charged me a $35 "late fee" which added on to my regular min. payment due, then required a payment of $60. I kept paying the $25 per month on time but every month, another $35 "late fee" was added because I did not pay the $60 per month.

    I called Kohl's and spoke to a supervisor who gave me her name as Atrecia ** on 1/28/13, and I explained to Atrecia that I am a senior citizen with virtually no income and that my daughter was giving me $25 to pay my monthly bill from Kohl's and I could not pay any more than that! Atrecia assured me that she would remove the added late fees which she did on 1/29/13 and would make a note on my account file that all that would be required of me would be to make my $25 payment each month.

    I just received my newest statement and Kohl's has added yet another "late fee" because (as the rep, Josh, I spoke to today said) I needed to make the past due payment as well as the current monthly payment to stop late fees from accruing. When I spoke to Atrecia **, she assured me that all the late fees were being removed leaving my balance due of $257.67. According to Kohl's literature given me when I opened the account for a balance of $257.67, the required monthly payment would be $25 which I paid on Feb. 13th. On my newest billing, another "late fee" was added giving me a balance of $352.67 and Josh said that I needed to pay $69 to bring my "account current" or an additional $35 would continue to be added to my account!

    This is a downright lie from what the supervisor, Atrecia **, told me on 1/28/13. Because of my limited income and no employment, I told Atrecia I could only make a $25 per month payment and she assured me that this would be all that Kohl's would require of me. Unfortunately, according to the statement I just received, yet another $35 has been added to my account - even though Atrecia told me all that would be required of me was a $25 per month payment, the minimum payment due now listed on my statement says I must pay $69 to bring my account "current". Since I have made a payment every month, how can my account not be "current?"

    I believe Kohl's customer service is misleading seniors with their literature and with their reps and this is bad business. I plan on picketing my local Kohl's store here in Medford, Oregon and ask other people to not shop at Kohl's after such bad treatment that I feel I have received. I am extremely disappointed in Kohl's policies and in the lack of truth extended me during 3 lengthy phone calls with their customer service dept. I plan on never shopping at Kohl's again!

    On the 4th, I placed an order for new silverware and was told I would have it by Valentine's Day; which as you will soon see, not only do I not have my order, but they are refusing to deal with the fact that I did not receive the shipment and credit my account or ship a replacement. On Saturday, the tracking said it was to be delivered by the post office where UPS had handed it over to them, and it said it was delivered at 11:59 AM. I checked my mailbox at my apartment for the key to a locker where my box would have been placed and did not have one. I called UPS, who said they could not help because of the method of shipment the company had used, and I must call them.

    I then called Kohl's and spent 20 minutes on the phone with a guy who just rambled saying that sometimes tracking will say that it was delivered when it really wasn't and it will show up a day or two later, so I should wait until Monday. He repeated this over and over again, even though it made zero sense, and still just kept me on the phone, wasting my time though he planned to do nothing to help. Monday rolled around and still there was no package. So I called back, and the person said they would start an investigation. I then received an email from them telling me that I needed to contact my post office to make sure they hadn't found it. I did that, and spoke to a very helpful man, who said that the driver checked all of the boxes at my apartment, and could not find my box, which he remembered seeing and admitted that he must have placed my key in a neighbor's mailbox.

    The neighbor was obviously dishonest and chose to keep my order instead of turning it in to the office; however, the post office took full responsibility and told me to have Kohl's contact them to file a claim. I then emailed back to Kohl's the guy's name and phone number and told them what I had found out. I then received a response that they were going to open an investigation (what they said they did the day before) and it would take 2-3 weeks before I could get my money back or a replacement. I responded, asking what they were investigating, as I had given them everything they needed already. They replied with the exact same form letter response I received before, still not addressing any of my comments or questions.

    This morning, I replied, calling them on the form letter response that did not reply and asking that the email chain be forwarded to a manager. I then got another generic reply, stating that I could reorder the product at the same price (and pay for it a second time). Later, I received an additional email stating that they had investigated and that the tracking showed it was delivered. They had seen that on both phone calls I had made. Therefore, they did zero investigating. They then said that in order to get my money back, I had to file a claim with UPS or file a police report. UPS already said they cannot do anything because it was transferred to USPS, per the shipper's instructions.

    The post office already agreed to take credit for the lost shipment, but needs the company to file the claim. I do not have the detailed shipping information the post office needs for the claim, and as the customer, it really shouldn't be my job to file the claim in the first place, as the job of customer service is to serve the customer. Filing a police report over $60 seems extremely excessive and will just cost me even more money. I have never received such horrible customer service and had a department waste so much of my time. I called and asked for a manager this afternoon, and he was just as unhelpful. All he would say is that it was their policy and that it takes time for things to be escalated.

    I pointed out that I had told the first person I spoke to that the tracking showed it was delivered but I did not receive it, so if their policy was that I had to file a police report, I should have been told that immediately and not have them waste several hours of my time this week, not to mention that that is a lame policy. Again, there was no offer to help in any way. So basically at this point, I am out $60 with no way to get it back, unless I involve the police.

    I have always been a loyal customer at Kohl's. I love their prices and their sales. I decided to do some Black Friday shopping at Kohl's to get some clothes for myself and gifts for friends and family. I got in line and expected to wait for a while (which I had expected, and am not upset about). When I got closer to the front of the line, I was told that the line split, and I could either go to the front registers, or I could go to customer service. I decided to split into the customer service line (both were about the same wait).

    However, when I arrived at the customer service register to pay, I was told that I could only check out here if I was applying for a Kohl's card. If I wasn't, then I was not able to pay for my items (They even told a lady next to me to leave because she already had a Kohl's card). I decided to apply because I did not want to wait in line for another hour. But I was very upset that I had been told I could split into either line, only to have no choice but to apply for a card. It was very unprofessional.

    I paid for my items and left. One month later, my statement came. I paid it right away. Over the next few weeks, I kept getting phone calls on my phone from a Wisconsin number. I often get telemarketers calling my cell phone, so I don't answer random numbers, and I let them go to voice mail. They never left a voice mail. I finally decided to look up the number and it turns out to be Kohl's. They had never left me a message, though, so I was slightly confused. I figured I should check my charge card just to be sure. It turns out, I had a $25 fee plus interest on my account and I now owed over $100. I looked at my payment and it said "payment reversed."

    I had received a payment confirmation from Kohl's right after I paid the bill, so I had figured the payment had gone through. Apparently, it did not. I was never informed that my payment was returned to me and I was never told why. When Kohl's kept calling, they never left a message, and I never got a notification or warning.

    I called Customer Service and went through countless steps to actually talk to a person. When I finally got through to customer service, the rep was not very nice to me and kept telling me it was my fault and that it was a problem with my bank. I have never had problems paying with my bank account online, nor have I ever had a card declined. I kept asking the rep what she meant by "problem with my bank" and she avoided the question. Finally, my $25 fee was taken off and I paid my amount with my debit card over the phone ... but the interest was still there, and I had a $10 processing fee along with it. And of course, the headache of sorting everything out.

    I am very disappointed in Kohl's and in Kohl's customer service. I am hoping that things change and that no one else needs to go through this. Be aware of your Kohl's card payments, and double check that the payments are accepted, even if you have never had problems with you card.

    When you return an item that earned you Kohl’s cash, Kohl’s will charge you more than the Kohl’s cash. When you order, the tax will be calculated on the price of the item. But when you return the item, they deduct the Kohl’s cash from the price and then calculate tax on the reduced amount thus reducing the refund amount. I paid $64.46 including tax for an item; I had earned $15 Kohl cash. When I returned the item, they refunded $48.22. When $15 was taken out of my total, it was $49.46. Kohl’s reduced my refund tax by deducting Kohl’s cash from the sale price of the item and then calculated tax. So the tax amount will be less than the tax you paid at purchase, thus reducing my refund amount.

They only gave me $63 and some cents back. I was rather confused, so I asked the lady about it. And in a mean manner, she said, "Well, I scanned the gift receipt, and that’s what it says. So that’s what he paid." I was like OK, well, just give me the credit. After I got out of the line, I went to look at the coats and I called him asking what he spent. He looked at the receipt and confirmed he had spent the 73 dollars. We both realized that he got Kohl’s cash worth ten dollars. So I was like OK that makes sense. Well, when I went up to go purchase a new coat I liked for the same amount of money, I realized that the Kohl’s cash did not start until the 25th! So I could not buy the coat.

    I went in on the 24th to return my coat, and they would not take a credit for the Kohl’s cash. I mean come on! They could have just given me ten bucks and then put the Kohl’s cash through the machine on the 26th so it would even out and they would not have missing money in the reports. I was so mad! Another reason why I am mad that they do this is that it was my boyfriend’s money. What if we forgot to use the Kohl’s cash? Then he is out ten dollars! I think it is a terrible policy. They should give you all your money back and say your Kohl’s cash does not work anymore. They are basically making you spend those ten dollars at Kohl’s. And this is just not right. I am very upset. And I do not know if I will be shopping at Kohl’s ever again. Oh, and I came back in on the 26th to get my coat. And it was not on the same sale anymore. So I had to spend 94 dollars on the coat instead of the $73 I would have spent. I am not happy. What a rip-off.

    I made a purchase on 12-10-12 of $144.94 at the Kohl's Brookfield, WI location. The next day, which I was unaware of until now, Kohl's offered $10 Kohl's cash for every $50 spent. That would mean that I would have gotten $20 towards my purchase from now until January. I called the Brookfield location to see if they could give me the Kohl's cash, and they said they are redeeming them now, so I cannot get the cash now. I hate retail stores that do this. I deserve $20 in Kohl's cash. I wanted to go back today and charge more on my Kohl's charge, but I am so angry about this that I won't be doing so.

    Each year my husband and I give our 3 employees Kohl's gift cards for the holidays. We also find these to be great gifts for our sons because everyone can get what they want and need. We are going to Kohl's tomorrow to get the cards but something told me to check my account. When I did, I found that what was owed was over what I knew I owed. I asked if they would give me a credit increase. They said they had a systemwide ban on increases to lines of credit and did not know when they would take the ban off.

    Please note that I have been a very loyal customer since 2008 when they first came to my area. I have never missed a payment and usually pay well above the minimum. I decided to look into the matter further and signed up to access my account online. I found that they had charged me a late fee in November and in July even though I had paid the bill on time. I called again, got routed to India, which did not go over well with me, and finally got someone in the US. He told me that while I may have paid the bill on time, sometimes the dates of payment the bank states is not what they mean. Therefore the late payment was my fault for trusting my bank (my words not his but that is what he said in a little nicer way).

    He agreed to remove the late fee for November but could only go back 2 1/2 months and July had to stand. He then asked me if I check my statement for late fees. I told him I didn't need to, I paid my bill on time. Honestly, after reading the reviews online, and knowing what I know about their customer service. I will get the gift cards as planned and then phase out my Kohl's card. I don't deal with incompetence or dishonesty very well.

    I placed an order with Kohl's on November 24th and still have not received and it is now December 14th. The order I placed was for my son's birthday that is on Dec. 21st and I am so disappointed that Kohl's could mess up so badly and treat their customers so poorly.

    I was tracking the package and it went from New Jersey to Brooklyn back to New Jersey and then on to OH. I was confused because the package was in Brooklyn and I didn't receive a missed package slip. I called Customer Service and they had no clue and it took the entire day of calling the FedEx, post office and then Kohl's and I was told the package was going back to Kohl's because they had the wrong zip code. I asked for the order to be replaced and was told that would only happen when they receive the package back. I then asked to speak to a manager and was put on an indefinite hold. I hung up and called back to speak to someone else, to be told I was misinformed and that she would replace the order and I should receive a confirmation email in 24 hours.

    Well, 4 days later and there was no confirmation. I decided to do an email to the corporate office while I was on the indefinite hold and today I received a response. The response turned into a 7-hour nightmare. First, I was told I would receive a 15% discount for my troubles to replace the order. I responded that I had a 20% discount, $30 Kohl's Cash and the item was on sale. The response was that they would give me another 5% discount to make it 20% but I would lose my $30 Kohl's Cash and the sale on the products.

    To make matters worse, I have to wait until they refund my order before I could even begin to place a new order and I lose my $30 Kohl's Cash. This is totally ridiculous that I even have to go though this. The order should have been replaced and I should not have to tell my son that because Kohl's messed up my order, he does not have a birthday and Christmas gift. This is not what you call customer service and I will not be ordering again from Kohl's, not to mention I'm cutting up their card. I have been a loyal customer for a decade.

    In September, I signed up for paperless billing. Somehow Kohl's got the wrong email address. But the address was invalid and would have returned back to them when they sent me the bills. Since I never got any paperless bills, I made no payments. They notified me after 90 days, by snail mail, that I was delinquent and had reported that to the credit agencies. I have used the card for 10 years and have never been late. When a rep admitted it was their mistake, they still refused to send a correction to the credit agency. Not only that but even after I paid the bill in full over the phone, more late fees and charges showed up on my account the next week. When I talked to a supervisor, she said there was no record of my dispute. I will never shop at Kohl's again.

    I am so annoyed at Kohl's right now that I am looking for places to vent my feelings. I really feel that Kohl’s was overwhelmed and under-prepared for its Black Friday sales event. A long time ago, I had stopped shopping Kohl’s online because of the length of time for shipping. I do the majority of my shopping online and I was used to speedier shipping. Over the past year or two, Kohl’s shipping has improved greatly so I began online shopping again at Kohl’s. However, this past Black Friday shopping experience will likely make me think twice before I ever again Black Friday shop at Kohl’s.

    It took 10 days before my Black Friday and also Cyber Monday orders were packaged and ready to leave the Kohl’s warehouse. 10 days? That is unacceptable. And then to make matters worse, these orders have been broken into multiple packages. By the time I get some of my items, it could be 19 days. Again, this is unacceptable in today’s day of online shopping. Sure, I could go into the store, but I am saving Kohl's a lot of money by sitting at my computer and shopping online rather than mucking up their stores and taking space. Kohl's should be shipping everything for free and shipping fast!

    My advice to Kohl’s is that if it is going to promote a huge sale, be prepared and don’t make customers wait 19 days for their packages. Seven days is long enough from hitting the send button to receiving at the door. 10 days to get the packages ready tells me Kohl's was not ready at all.

    I have had a Kohl's Credit Card for more than 10 years. I do not use it very often and when I do, I always pay the balance off in full every month. Earlier this year I went online to switch my billing address and when I got in there, I somehow inadvertently turned on Electronic statements only (no paper statements). Now, I know it was accidental because I have a personal policy: the only time I will agree to electronic statements only (no paper) is when I have set up an automatic payment plan that automatically pays the balance due every month. The reason I do this is simple, if I miss an electronic invoice, I do not want to risk a late payment. I have had this policy since the dawn of Internet billing and it has served me well, so well, in fact, that in my 30 years of credit history I have never been delinquent on any payment - ever.

    Well, good for me, but then along comes Kohl's to ruin it all. Since I inadvertently made the switch to electronic billing only, I guess I didn't pay too much attention to the electronic invoice when it came along, if I even ever saw it, because I "knew" that I would get a paper invoice and would add it in to my bill paying system then. Well, I never got that paper invoice, but I did get sent to a debt collection agency when my bill was 31 days old (15 days past due). I was shocked to get this call because I hadn't received a bill (as I always had for the previous 10 years) and so I apologized for the misunderstanding, explained what I thought must have happened, made sure I was getting paper invoices again and paid the total, plus late fees, immediately over the phone. I actually felt bad about it.

    Then a few months later I got my annual credit report. Well, I didn't feel bad anymore. Those ** put a "delinquent" mark on my credit! This decreased my credit rating by many points, making me ineligible for the best finance rates and hurting my ability to refinance my home, and this garbage will stay on my record for seven years! Seven years! All this just because I mistakenly signed up for something I had no intention of signing up for! I think their website was probably confusing and somehow led me down the primrose path & tricked me into it! I am flaming mad! I tried to call Customer Service to find out if there was anyone who could help me out by reversing this horrible situation, and I was told matter-of-factly that since my payment was late, there would be no reversal.

    Tough ** for me. Did I say I'm foot-stomping, fist-pounding mad? This company should be shut down by the Better Business Bureau. I hope they go out of business and all of their executives end up in jail.

    In July of 2012, I had a Kohl's representative contact me about a late payment on a credit card. The payment was for $80. In talking with the representative, I explained that I have not received bills from Kohl's for months. The representative reviewed my account and stated that yes, my bills had been returned since October of 2011. She also pointed out that I had overpaid my last bill by $30 in March and when I made my charge in May that they were about to mail my credit. I explained to her I was not sure what was happening with my bill, but the credit was there because I was guessing how much I owed because I never got a bill. Since I was a fairly frequent Kohl's customer, I was not concerned with the credit.

    In May, I made a purchase that left me owing $80. Well, I forgot about this purchase and again, I never received a Kohl's bill. I did get a call in July stating that my payment was late. As I already explained, the representative noted that the bills were being returned. I explained that I have not moved in years and this has not been a problem until the past few months. Kohl's agreed to back out the penalty charges and I mailed a check to cover the $80 owed. I also checked with the post office to see if any change of address notices were executed against my address. The post office verified that no change of address notices were executed against my address for past two years that they reviewed.

    In October, I learned that Kohl's reported a late payment to the credit bureau. I called customer service and we went over everything again and the agent agreed this was a Kohl's issue and would send the information for review by the credit department. I recently received a letter stating that the late payment on my credit report would stand. I'm personally blown away by this. In my 30 years of credit history, I've never had a late payment. As a side note, Capital One recently sent me an email with special offers to help me with my recent move. I didn't know anything about a recent move so I contacted their fraud department. They said the email was legitimate but would not explain why my address appeared to have changed. I know Capital One is Kohl's financial backer. It all just has me wondering. Anyway, I'll be closing all credit accounts associated with Capital One. I can't risk further damage to my credit. That would be my Capital One credit card, Kohl's card, and Best Buy card.

    I try to keep my Kohl's credit card with a low balance or paid up. I had it paid off for months. I went into Kohl's for a specific purchase and found it and they had a great special, plus a percentage off. So, I decided to use my Kohl's credit card. When I didn't get a statement month after month, I thought maybe I had used my check card, which I do often or pay it off right away. Then last week, I got a message that I need to call Kohl's about my credit card. So, I did. They tell me I haven't paid it for 3 months and now it was almost up to $150 when the original purchase was less than $50.

They said my husband's address (he and I have been separated over 9 months and his name isn't even on it! Also, he never told me that he had gotten some of my mail), and I said that wasn't right. They said they'd take all the late charges and finance charges off. I went to use it at another Kohl's store and pay it in full like I usually do and use my 30% coupon off.

    First, the card wouldn't go through as he said it was "frozen" from non-payment and then he wouldn't give me the 30% off because I didn't use my Kohl's charge! I haven't even gotten the corrected statement! I called to get this straightened out and the lady said "Well it isn't our fault." Well it sure isn't mine; I didn't change the address on it! They said sometimes the post office does that automatically when there is one person from a household that has an address change! I asked why I was getting the rap when I had nothing to do with it and had no control over it?! She couldn't answer that for me.

I have returned several times but the clerk gave me KMRC right away, not corporate refunds. I have discovered that she clicked "return without receipt" on her screen that's why the return will be corporate refunds. I told her not to touch anything and scan again. After that, she called someone to help her because I know what she did. Another clerk came, simply scanned the item, and gave me KMRC.

    Payment mailed by cheque - hassle! I enclosed a Bank of America check for my daughter's account (as she does not have a US banking account), $42.97; and my account, $65.20, for a total of $108.17 (US dollars). The check was cashed by Kohl's and posted to my Bank of America account July 6/12. I clearly showed how much was to go to my account and how much to her account, with the account numbers. I enclosed her bill, as I couldn't get into mine online, but knew the amount. Today, I received an email stating that I am overdue... on my account. They have probably put all of it into her account, but right now, I cannot check with her as she is working. Now, I am told that I have to get her to call Kohl's and check her balance and give them my account number to give them her permission to put the balance into there. Then told that I have to, keep checking my account online to be sure it went in... Just watch... although they have the money, I bet they charged me late charges! I have no idea how I could have made the payment any clearer! Why can I pay phone bills and other bills in Canada with one cheque for dual accounts, but not for Kohl's? Just one more thing to keep an eye on - that seemed so easy at the time. I’m frustrated!

    On July, 28, 2012, I purchased 3 tops with a handbag, also an iron. The total came to $106.72 with $10 plus 20% off which then came to $82.52. The $10 was a birthday card from Kohl's. The problem was I returned my handbag and a defective iron. It took 90 mins to cool down and I did not like the handbag so I returned them both. When I returned them, the total Kohl's gave me back was $66.15. To break it down, the return amount is $34.80 - Trans. Disc $3.30 and $6.31 for the Handbag, and for the defective Iron, Return Amount is $49.99 Trans Disc $4.72 and $9.05 of which the subtotal was $61.41. Tax of $4.74 made it a total of $66.15. The amount that should have been given back to me should have been $73.07++. Kohl's also double stickers their sales items. We have a shirt that was priced at $5.99 and marked up to $6.99.

    I have been a Kohl’s card holder for years. On 7/16, I requested a payment come out of my checking account on 7/19. When I checked my bank statement, I had a $35 overdraft fee. I noticed that my Kohl’s payment came out on 7/16, not 7/19. I called Kohl’s and talked to Emily, a customer service representative. She was very unhelpful so I asked to speak to a supervisor. After a long wait, I talked to Sam, a supervisor. I gave her my confirmation number and she said that if I had called to make the payment instead of doing it online, she could reverse the charge which would credit my bank account $35. However, since I made the payment online, this could not be fixed. I asked her to mail, email or fax me a copy of the payment information showing it coming out on the 16th and she said she didn’t have those capabilities. I told her I was very unhappy and disappointed and she said she was sorry. I told her I’d like to close my account and she quickly did that. As we were getting off the phone, she asked if there was anything else she could do for me. I asked her to credit me $35 and of course, she couldn’t. I will no longer shop at Kohl’s and told her I would share this information with my friends and family.

    I am 65 years old, retired with a nice pension, social security and savings. I have zero debt and have a perfect July, 2012 credit report as well as every single year before that. With that being said, I was in my local Kohl's one day last week looking at one item I was considering to purchase. Incidentally, this was only my second time in the store since it opened years ago because I think it is way overpriced, second rate, and confusing to find anything or anybody to help you. Nonetheless, I dropped in there last week and decided to buy a pair of shorts that were okay and were "on sale" at twice the price they should have been. The woman at the checkout register informed me that if I opened up a charge, I could get an additional 20% off. So I said sure, with no intentions of ever using it again of course. Anyway, the request for credit comes back "refused" with no reason and that I would be getting a letter from them explaining why, which I received today with the reason “bad credit and inability to pay”!

    Of course I was initially shocked, then amused and then it dawned on me that the real reason, actually, was that my credit was too good and they would never make any money on me because I always pay all my bills in full every month and on time! Kohl's is unscrupulous and preys on people with low income who have to pay what little they can afford every month, and that's one of the ways they make money. Of course, I never ever set foot into a Kohl's again because of this and I will tell everybody what happened and word of mouth goes a long way.

    The sarcastic cashier, obviously, was very unable to handle a few simple and legitimate complaints. I spent like $368 in Kohl’s on Sunday using a 30% off coupon and getting $30 in Kohl's cash. I needed to return 2 items that totaled about $45, but I was purchasing $65 more stuff (like 4 days later when the KC was valid). So, mysteriously my $30 KC turned into only $20. One of the items I was purchasing rang up $12 higher than the sign from the rack. The cashier decided I needed a lesson on how to read the signs in Kohl's that I had to "match up the full price to the sale price,” yadda, yadda. Oh, like I'd never been in Kohl's and didn't know that! They never acknowledged or made any overtures that the stupid signage was wrong! So, I went back to check the signage because the manager didn't offer to come to the register and go check for us to settle the dispute and I left my $30 - I mean $20 - KC coupon with my merchandise at the register. When I decided to pay for the merchandise minus the mispriced/marked item, the cashier gave me the total. I said, “Okay, where is my $30 - sorry, I mean $20 - since I returned some stuff from a $368 purchase. Discount for the KC?”

    The cashier said, “What KC? You didn't give me any KC!” I said I most certainly did. I reminded her of our entire conversation verbatim and when she finally felt stupid enough to believe me (I know, I know, I'm only a customer who doesn't understand how to read Kohl's price signs), she reached in her drawer and pulled out a stack of about 40 KC coupons and picked up one and said to me, “Is this it?” I'm like, really, you want me to identify my coupon from the 42 coupons there in your hand? Oh, my God, I am through with Kohl’s. Then, she said I walk away and try to stay cool today. For an old woman, she was a real piece of work.

Well, I paid the amount they told me to pay. Just last week, I had Chase run my credit report for a refi on my house and my credit score had gone from an 800 to 701-716, almost 100 points! I looked closer, and Kohl’s reported me for a 30 day late on $5! I called them to explain and they said, "Well, you've been receiving bills in your email." In actuality, I have not, and I have 5 years of Apple mail history to prove it.

    I asked to speak with a supervisor and he told me that they do not have the ability to remove things from credit scores and that it's done through another company. He said he would send a request and that I would receive a letter in 3-4 weeks. I will not shop at Kohl’s at all until this is resolved. If it isn't, I will cancel my card.

    I have always paid my charge card on time and without any issues. For the last several months, none of my online payments have gone through. I have the payments listed on my Quicken account, but they were never processed. Now that could be my error; regardless, I accept responsibility. However, I changed over to online communication to eliminate paper. I have not once received an email notification from Kohl’s with the exception of sales. I was notified this morning via phone call that my account was past due. I was aghast. I logged in but was told that due to login errors, I was blocked from my account. I went into the store to pay off my balance and was told I can't use my VISA debit card; I had to pay in cash or by check.

    I don't use checks for anything anymore (nor do most stores accept checks!) and therefore I couldn't pay my balance. The clerk kindly sat me down at a phone and I spoke with a customer service representative who politely told me everything that I already knew. He told me that because my account was late, I could pay my account using a credit card if I told him my account number and provided my social security number. I was sitting in an area full of customers; I was not going to give him my account information. He did tell me how to get my online account back going (albeit it was not something they tell everyone, he admitted), and so I was able to come home and immediately make my payment. I would have made this payment if I had been notified that my payments had not gone through. I would have gladly taken care of this issue if Kohl’s had contacted me via email.

    Instead, my home has been inundated with phone calls (over 300 in the past week) from a phone number none of us recognized and it wasn't until yesterday that a message requesting that I contact Kohl’s did I finally answer the phone. This is ridiculous. I now have a negative mark on my pristine credit due to a lack of communication from your store. Please, get it together and figure out this problem. I love Kohl’s, but I am tempted to cancel my account due to your poor customer service. I am going to wait to calm down, but I need some logical answers to these issues, as well as my credit being restored.

She called a floor manager and we waited a very long time for a reply. She said we were wrong and the shoes were not on sale. We did not purchase the shoes. She was really annoyed then.

    We went back to where the shoes were and all the electronic tags had been changed to the higher price and not on sale any more. My husband was furious and we felt betrayed by Kohl’s. We tried to do the self-scanner before the purchase, but it was not working. Another customer tried to use the scanner and she could not use it either. This has left a very bad shopping experience for us with Kohl’s. Not only was my husband disappointed, but the attitude of the cashier only made the situation worse.

    Kohl's cash policy has changed. If you make a return of any merchandise that you received Kohl's cash, they will take back the Kohl's cash on that transaction. It works like this. I spend $50.00, I get $10.00 of Kohl's cash to be used during certain dates to entice me to shop again. If I return an item costing $13.00, they take the Kohl's cash back. I receive a credit of just $3.00. I lose the $10.00 incentive. I bought a $10.00 nail polish with the Kohl's cash. I am not allowed to use the 15% off, 20% off or 30% off promotional code with the Kohl's cash so I ended up paying $10.00 for the nail polish. Do the math. If I would have bought the nail polish, at least I would have paid $7.00. I am out $3.00 on this transaction (incentive) to entice me to shop. They are making money by giving me an incentive to shop.

    Five years ago, I attempted to shop at your #0262, WV and left feeling belittled and frustrated because my shopping experience was "very limited" due to the fact that I am in a wheelchair. For example, first, I had difficulty entering the building because I was unable to open the doors by myself. Secondly, the aisles were too narrow to enter and there was no room to turn my wheelchair around to exit the aisles. I returned today, May 18, 2012, to be greeted by automatic opening doors. Needless to say, this put a smile on my face and I was able to shop in some of the aisles, but not all. Thanks so much for the handicapped upgrades.

    Suggestion: To make sure your aisles are handicapped-friendly, personally set in a wheelchair and go down each aisle. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to back your electric wheelchair out of an aisle that has no room for turning around. I am very concerned about not harming another shopper in the process as well as damaging your displays or merchandise. Thanks for the improvements.

Every time a Kohl's representative calls to tell me I'm past due, I go over this and over this, giving the confirmation number for the payoff and asking them not to call again. Each time I receive assurances, a supervisor will take my number out of the system that I won't get any more calls. Well, I'm still waiting for that to happen.

    I'm frustrated and pissed off. I used to love shopping at Kohl's. I won't step foot in their store again.

    Consumers beware of excessive late fees/interest. Over the past 4 months, I have had 2 occasions where I did not receive my monthly statement, then received a "late" statement containing $25.00 late fee and interest. Today, I called to handle the 2nd incident and while they removed the $25.00 late fee, they did not remove the interest, and added a $10.00 fee so they wouldn't report me to the credit bureau. This is not a good way to treat a longstanding customer who loved their stores. I closed my account today and will not shop at Kohl's again.

    Racial profiling: I went to Kohl's today, 4/13/12. I had my eye on a purse and decided I would make a 20 minute drive to go get it. I walked around and then I noticed wherever I went, someone on the intercom would send someone there and I also noticed that the lights flickered when I went to different departments. At this point, I had been in the store for about 30 minutes. I went to the shoe department and the lights flickered and over the intercom, they sent someone to the department across the way. I walked up and down the aisles looking at prices and shoes. There were a couple people in the department with me. Next thing you know out of nowhere, a lady popped up and asked me, the only black person, if I needed help. She asked only me and no one else. Mind you, she wasn't there when I came into that department. I said no and went on about my business.

    As I'm walking, I see workers looking at me and also the manager. I passed them and quickly turn around and the manager is still looking at me. I get to the cash register and I turned around again. There was the lady that was in the shoe department that asked if I need help walking by. At this point, I'm furious and asked the cashier for the store manager's name. She said Amy and I asked, "Do you know her last name?" She replied no.

    When I get to my car, I called the Kohl's store and asked to speak with a manager. The manager got on the phone and I told him the story and that I felt uncomfortable that they were following me. He kept saying he apologized and asked if I knew the employee's name. I said no and described her. He knew exactly who I was talking about and said she works in the shoe department. If she worked in the shoe department, where was she when I first came into the shoe department and why was she behind me when I walked to check out and not in the shoe department where she supposedly works. Why were they sending people to the areas I was in and why were the lights flickering. The manager apologizes that I felt that way and that he would talk to her. Talk is not going to do anything. He probably sent her to watch me.

    I was shopping in the State College, PA store for children's clothing on 4/10/2012, and my purchase totaled $511.40. I noted that it came out of my account on 4/11/2012, leaving me more than enough money in my account to cover my electricity bill. Today, I look in my account to find that $511.40 was taken a second time. There was no credit to my account, like there was a problem with the previous charge. It was just taken out twice for no apparent reason. I was told that it could take up to 30 days to get the problem corrected. This is not a small issue. it is a big one.

    In December 2011, I used my Kohl's charge card. I did not receive a bill in January and notified customer service. They said a late fee had been generated and they would take care of it. In the meantime, I paid the balance in full (less the late fee). However, in March, there is now a balance for 2 late fees and accrued finance charges. I only realized this because I received an automated call from Kohl’s. I contacted customer service again and the agent agreed to waive the charges. Apparently, she didn't waive the fees because I received another call today (4/12/12) from the credit department stating that I still have a balance due. I spoke with Veronica and she agreed to waive the charges. I'm concerned that this will negatively affect my credit even though it is of no fault of mine.

    Insensitive customer service: Last February 19, I received a call from Kohl's which notified me of being late in my payment. I asked how much my balance was, and I paid it right there. My excuse at that time was that we have a medical problem in my family and may have overlooked checking my email. To my dismay, Kohl's reported a derogatory remark on my credit report about being 30 days late 2 days after I paid the balance off.

    I then checked my email inbox queue to see if I missed the billing alert, but I did not see any. There's none in my spam mail either. I asked why I did not get any notification of bill statement for March 2012, and I was told that I did not get it because I do not have any outstanding balance? Could there be a bug in their system that they don't send you a bill if you do not have any transaction for the month instead of zero balance? All I know is that they changed billing processor in March 2012.

    I read a lot of complaints here about Kohl's billing process, and the fact that they made some changes makes you think there is a system problem, right? I wonder why they do not accept their infraction and give allowances to their most valued customers. Now, Kohl's just lost another customer, because I just closed my account. I thought they have good products, especially the J.Lo clothes line. But I guess I just have to find another store, because I will never shop Kohl's again!

So I had to lug it out of the store again and get it into my car. I am so disappointed. Had I known it was such a repair job, I would never have bought it.

    I purchased three sets of sheets of which two out of three fell apart within three to four washings. The original set, Vera Wang, was very expensive and I lost the receipt. I complained on Kohl's website in a review and was told to bring them back and I would get my money back. The other two sets are also expensive, one fell apart and one was unopened. I was afraid to use them. The Kohl's store in Winston-Salem gave me a receipt for my return of $345.84 but said corporate would have to send a check because of the amount and no receipt. I was told to call 800-837-0302 if it did not come in 10 days. Well, it didn't. I called today and was told no, I could have that amount. I could have either $324.18 in store credit or forfeit all my earned Kohl's dollars and get $149.17 against my account and $119.99 in store credit for a total of $269.16.

    So now Kohl's has my merchandise worth $345.84 and since their product quality has been awful for some time, I am forced to take the $269.84 and lose $76. Wow, was I conned. They lied when they told me to return my inferior merchandise "No Hassle". They keep my items and they cheated me out of money. Had I known about this bait and switch return policy, I never would have bought the two sets of sheets to replace the original that fell apart. Do you know anyone who wants to buy my $119.99 store credit good on poor quality merchandise? I have had this account for probably 10 years and this is the first time I have ever returned anything.

As I walked the aisles I began to notice how unorganized the store was, even though it was only an 1 1/2 that this store had been open for business. As I walked through the store I noticed that things were on the floor. Merchandise was placed on shelves as though they just threw them. This not only included the clearance items but regular priced merchandise as well. I would say that I walked for about 1/2 hour and only noticed 2 associates walking in the store. I finally noticed a floor supervisor and stopped her and asked why the store was so dirty and unorganized. I mentioned to her that I would rather shop at a Salvation Army or even a Dollar Store because they are more organized, personable and cleaner. All she could say was that they could only do so much with the associates that they have.

    I also asked if the associates were instructed to clean while on the store floor if they were not attending a customer. She answered yes, that was one of their responsibilities. I also asked if everyone cleans after the store closes in the evening. She answered yes. I commented that if they did tidy up in the evening, it didn't show because of how dirty the store looked. All she could say was I'm sorry and she walked away. It's too bad that I didn't catch her name.

That was the first problem (not for me, but for customer service in general). Finally, the cashier called for assistance. When the associate showed up, she asked for customers to move over to her register. The person behind me rudely went over to be checked out and because of that I stayed where I was. The person in front of me started to be checked out and was also taking a long time. Finally, when the second associate was in the middle of checking out the third person I could not hold my anger in any longer and said something about it. It is the associate's job to make sure she takes the next person in line, not just whoever arrives at her register first. She would have taken a fourth and possibly a fifth customer while I still waited.

    After I spoke up she did offer to take me next. I was on my lunch hour and was limited on time, but what happened was very poor customer service regardless of how much time I had. In addition, most of the cashiers at this store, no matter how many people may be in line, do not ever seem to be in any kind of a hurry. Some are worse than others. Lastly, the person in front of me had quite a few items and at the end, she offered her coupon and was told it didn't start until tomorrow. Rather than accept the coupon today for good customer service, the associate put all of the customer's items on hold until the next day. The associate was risking losing the customer's business (and anyone else she may complain to) altogether. Even though the customer agreed to this, the store had to go through the trouble of storing the items and inconvenienced the customer. I will probably still shop at this store merely for convenience but I will definitely try to avoid it!

All other stores in the Harlem/Irving plaza have ramps or level pavement coming out of this second level. Kohl's second level sells large comforters, pillows, and breakable items, which you would think would warrant level pavement, since customers with packages would not see/expect a step coming out of the store.

    In addition there are several handicapped spaces at this entrance, but the only access is a small ramp at the far end of the store--nowhere near the entrance. I filed a complaint/injury report and was told the store did not deal with this directly--corporate offices in Wisconsin would contact me. When they did, they asked me several questions about what I was wearing, carrying, etc. and then proceeded to tell me they had reviewed the video and that they were not at fault. I explained I did not want to sue the store, I was only trying to recover out of pocket expenses, which to date total about $1,200--a fair amount I thought. I was offered a "courtesy" and was made to feel I should be kissing their feet for a mere $300. For this "hush" money, I was told I could not speak publicly or on any other forum about the incident or "settlement".

    The person assigned to deal with my case stalked me on Facebook and left me a curt message to remove all post about my personal experience and how I was the problem, not Kohl's and I should have been looking where I was going. On February 1, 2012, I was informed via email that the lavish settlement was revoked, due to further "investigation" of the tape. How I regret giving this store any of my business. My only wish is that I had found this site sooner. Then I would not have suffered physically, emotionally and economically. Anyone please post any other way to complain so that I/we can be heard.

    Cuisinart coffeemaker on sale for $179, less 15% off coupon. A $10 cash card about $143 net. I got home, checked the Cuisinart site to be sure I purchased the correct coffeemaker and I saw that the regular retail was $129, not $179. Crate and barrel, also $129. I called the Burlington, VT store back. She told me $179 is their price. She said if I want them to match anyone, bring in a copy of the proof. They would not look anything up. I'm completely disenchanted with Kohl's. Anyone can have a sale when the product is priced where it shouldn't be.

    A sign was posted at Kohl's store number 250 Pineville N.C. that reads: “Buy one get, one free all chaps luggage, equal or lesser value.” When I went to the counter it did not ring up as such. The department manager called on his mike and they said there was no such sign. I went with him upstairs to show him the sign and it had been removed. It was there 3 minutes prior and for the twenty minutes I looked at the luggage. They would not honor the sign saying, "Well, I didn’t see a sign." I will never shop at Kohl's ever again.

    I'm getting tired of discrepancies between how much I'm handing a cashier to put on my Kohl's charge card at Wilton, NY vs. how much is being credited toward my account. At least twice now (perhaps more), I've received an amount less or none of what I've handed the cashier towards card payment. I have lost a fair amount of cash being naive and trusting the amount I was handing the cashier was actually going towards my account. That will happen no more as I do not trust how business is being conducted there. I intend to avoid using the Kohl's card as much as possible. If I do use it and make a payment, I'm going to check the amount before I leave the store and I'm going to carefully file the receipt until my Kohl's charge bill comes. That way I can be armed with the receipt and ready to battle over my statements since that is the way Kohl's chooses to do business with me.

    Kohl's is always ripping people off, never giving change back to customers. I have seen this at least 10 times happened yesterday to the people in line before me. Cashiers are on personal calls when they are checking. I have seen managers doing the same. I purchased a bra about a month ago then two weeks later, I purchased another one. Two different SKU numbers because two different colors. The first one I got was defective, so I went to return it because they had no more in my size and I had been to three other stores looking for my size.

    Well, they tried to return it as the second one because that on had been on sale and they didn't want to give me full price back. I used my Kolh's card for both but the girl wouldn't listen to me and would look in my history of the card. I ended up getting into a yelling match with her and the manager was standing right there watching and didn't say one word as the girl called me a ** and everything.

    More than once I have given them a 30% off and looked later at the receipt and they only gave me 15%. Yesterday, they had buy one get one for one dollar on picture frames. Well needless to say, I got charged full price for both and had to turn around at the door to go back to get my money back. Well, she returned it, weird, but I still ended up getting charged $2.80 for the second one. What the hell. They try to rip people off every chance they get! As of today, I have been waiting for a corporate refund for three weeks when they say it will only take 7-10 days. I've been on the phone all morning. I hate Kohl's. I'm done.

    I purchased a jewelry box via a Kohl's kiosk the day after Thanksgiving in Moline, IL . It was a Christmas gift for my niece who lives in Connecticut who was shopping with me at the time. They did not have the color she wanted in the store so when the store associate suggested we order it online, it seemed like a good idea since the shipping was free and we could send it directly to Connecticut and she would not have to take it on the plane. The jewelry box was $51.99 and at the time, Kohl's was giving Kohl's Cash $15 for every $50 (which they said I would receive via e-mail within 48 hours). The Monday after Thanksgiving, the jewelry box went on sale for $38.99 plus they were offering an additional 20% for Cyber Monday. I checked my account online and I had not yet been billed the $51.99 so I went into my local store after work.

    No one in the store had the most remote interest in helping, just pointed to a phone that I could use to talk to customer service. When I called, I told the rep about the price discrepancy and also said I had not received the e-mail with the Kohl's Cash. And since it looked like I could save even more with the Cyber Monday discount, I asked her to just cancel the original order and I would re-order. The rep was very nice but claimed she couldn't cancel the original order because it was "already in fulfillment". Due to their policy of a two-week price guarantee, she said I would be credited the $13 price difference plus whatever tax difference (approx another $1) and she would look into the Kohl's Cash that I had never received. However, she could not promise the 20% off Cyber Monday discount since I had not actually ordered the item on Cyber Monday.

    Nothing happened for several days. Finally, I received a credit on my account for $11.09 (not sure who's doing the math), plus, still no Kohl's Cash. It's way past 48 hours now so I called again. Meanwhile, my niece receives the jewelry box in Connecticut and it's broken. So I called about that. I was told that she should send it back and as soon as the damaged one was received at the warehouse, she would be sent a new one via expedited shipping. Still no Kohl's Cash. Finally, another $2.04 credit appeared on my account. So okay, close to the $14 or so they owed me. Still I don't know why they can't use a calculator. Still no Kohl's Cash.

    My niece sent back the broken jewelry box and luckily tracked the package. It was received by Kohl's on December 30. She called me because she never received the new one. Then, I get an e-mail from customer service saying they were sorry I had received damaged goods and that the jewelry box should just be disposed of because the broken glass would be hazardous to return to a store. What? Then they said my account would be credited but if I still wanted a jewelry box, I would have to reorder it! So I contacted them again and now they claim it has never been their policy to send out a replacement item for a damaged one.

    But if I wanted to reorder one, they would take 20% off for my trouble. This is without yet receiving a credit for the broken one other than the price readjustment. They also now claim that they could not give me the original Kohl's Cash unless I purchased something else. (i.e., a new jewelry box) and then, they would credit the original Kohl's Cash against that! So they wanted me to order another jewelry box before I was reimbursed for the first one with no guarantee that the second one would arrive intact. And they were still refusing to give me the original Kohl's Cash I earned back in November.

    Clearly, customer service on the phone and customer service online don't even follow the same procedures or apparently look at the notes when someone has made a complaint. Every time I contacted them, the story changed. And every time, any action on their part was going to take 10-14 days. But they gave me a deadline of a week to decide if I wanted to reorder the jewelry box. Needless to say, we won't be ordering another jewelry box and I've given up on ever receiving the Kohl's Cash. Still waiting to have my account reimbursed. Who knows what the math geniuses will come up with for that refund!

    I ordered $132 orth of merchandise through kohls.com on 11/25/11. The first thing that happened was the full 20% was not taken off of the total with the coupon. Then I checked the status for part of the shipment and saw that UPS had "damaged and discarded" 2 items a few days before. I was the one who had to contact Kohl's about this. Because they could no longer fill the order, I had to wait over 2 weeks for a refund. The next issue I had was making a return. They claimed that because I earned Kohl's cash for this transaction they would deduct $15 from the refund. This was completely wrong. Even if I had returned this item I still would have been eligible to keep the Kohl's cash by almost $1.

    But because they had to issue a refund for the damaged items before, I was no longer eligible even though it wasn't my fault! Then, I went onto my shortcuts.com account to check my cash back status from this purchase and it was not listed. I emailed Kohl's multiple times and every time they told me they were not affiliated and that it may be because my purchases were not eligible because of charity merchandise I purchased. This is a blatant lie because I earned cash back from them for another purchase plus the listed restrictions were only "no cash back on gift cards" nothing about charity. Also, I had to pay shipping on another order used with Kohl's cash because free shipping did not work after these coupons applied. I am going to hold a sit in in my local Kohls until this is settled because the websites customer service obviously could care less!

I couldn't figure out how to return the item, so I called customer service. The lady was really nice, and told me it would be easier to return in store, but it's 45 minutes away, so I opted to return via mail. She said she would send a UPS driver, to pick up the package. I was not sure if I would be home when the said driver came, so I put the package outside. There, the package has sat, and sat, and sat.

    Finally, I received a notice that a UPS return had begun (finally), and Kohl's had no idea what or why I was returning things. Then began the emails. I told them what I was returning, and why, and told them what had happened with the original phone call. They told me (in a seemingly form like email) to return the items prepaid, and sorry. Well, bull sugar. I was told I wouldn't have to pay for returning, and I don't plan to, nor will I be charged for damage or lateness.

    At 09:40 pm approximately, I entered Kohl's with my girlfriend. I had an item I received as a Christmas gift and asked her to join me since she shops at Kohl's all the time, however, at a different location. Upon entering the store, we immediately asked the first cashier where to make returns so there would be no issue returning my item without a receipt and others could also see we entered the store with the item.

    At this point, I noticed we were followed to the back of the store where we did the return. We were hassled repeatedly for not having a receipt. Finally, my girlfriend reiterated it was a gift, a Christmas gift. The store clerk rang in the item and told us the amount the store credit would be but not before she requested my license and vanished to the back to talk with another associate. That associate returned with her, where he also asked again, if we had a receipt.

    After much of a delay/stalling, I was finally given my store credit; although we felt uncomfortable by the whole experience/ordeal, we decided to browse quickly through the store. Soon after leaving customer service where we did the return, we heard over the speaker, "The store is now close. Bring all final purchases to a register." It was 09:53pm. Another associate named Stephania asked us, "Don't you know we're closed?" And I asked, "You close before 10 pm?" which she then said, "Well, you heard the announcement, didn't you?"

    I expressed again the time and she even more rudely repeated, "We are closed!" We decided to just leave. This felt like harassment as well as racial profiling because we are a mixed couple. It felt like we were being treated like thieves, common criminals or persons that had otherwise done something wrong and they couldn't get rid of us fast enough! First the badgering and then stalling to make the return and now this. I had never been to a Kohl's before, but based on this experience, I never want to return ever!

    My girlfriend is still trying to convince me that her Kohl's store location is not like this nor is any she has ever been to/visited before. We both agree this warrants immediate attention, corrective action and additional training for everyone from the managers to each individual associate. I have never felt so uncomfortable or judged as I did earlier tonight. This felt like plain unadulterated racism and we both deserve an apology at the very least from those who made us feel so belittled and unwelcomed!

    I clicked on their online advertisement to "buy this item now" (Pandigital Planet 7" multimedia tablet). I proceeded through the checkout process and when I received an email about an hour later, I noticed that the item in my confirmation was the 7" Pandigital Star Tablet not the Planet Tablet that I clicked on. I called immediately to inquire. The rep was as confused as I was because the same thing happened to her when she clicked on the add. She checked into it and said they were out of stock on the Planet and she said she could not cancel my order. This is clearly a bait and switch. They never indicated that the item that I clicked on "to buy now" was out of stock. They simply substituted an inferior item in my shopping cart.

    My mother had purchased some clothes for my children in April, July and August. Some of the clothes did not fit so I took them to the store and asked if I could exchange them. I was told that I would receive an in-store credit in about 7 - 10 days. After 4 weeks, I called the corporate office and inquired about my refund. I was told that I needed to tell them the month the clothes were purchased in. I told them that I had not purchased the clothes, my mother had and I wasn't sure of the exact purchase month. Needless to say, they kept the clothes when I initially went to the store and I have not received my in-store credit. It's been 4 months. I returned to them $135 in clothes and got nothing. Their advertisements about hassle free returns is such a lie and misleading. Something needs to be done because Kohl's has stolen clothes from me. They took the clothes and have the money too.

    I returned some items that I bought last year to Kohl's with receipts, I had paid for the items with a credit card. The associate said that the receipts were no longer in her system so she had to process my return as a non-receipted corporate refund. I would receive a check from the corporate office within 7 to 10 days. It took close to a month to receive my refund and it was a merchandise credit instead of a check. I spent half a day on the phone trying to get the matter straighten out and was hung up on by the corporate operator 3 times. I finally called the store manager to get a resolution. I now have to take the merchandise credit in to exchange it for my cash refund.

    Kohl's claims to have no hassle refunds. This has been nothing but a hassle and a waste of my time. Another infuriating thing is that Kohl's continues to print invoices for online orders with no prices despite customer complaints. This is also a hassle when returning an online item, because they don't know what the price was in the store. I am done with Kohl's!

    Is there a "minus star" button? I purchased fine jewelry at Khol's, Johnson city, TN. Two days later, I found the same piece for less than half of Kohl's price. I returned it and was told I could not have a full refund because I received and used Khol's Bucks. I returned the purchases made with the Kohl's Bucks and still could not get a refund. Only a merchandise credit was offered. I stated that if I returned the purchases made with Kohl's Bucks, I felt I was entitled to a monetary refund. The "customer service" rep advised the best he could do was send my complaint to corporate headquarters & they would contact me within 1-2 weeks. I left with Merchandise credit and no refund. Approximately 2 weeks later, I received a card for Merchandise credit in the mail. No other contact was made by Kohl's corp. I contacted Kohl's corp and no one really wanted to hear my complaint. I cancelled my newly opened account and vowed I would never again darken your doors.

    I have continued to receive your mailings so I contacted your corp offices once again to have mailing discontinued. I advised the CSR again about my experience and the lack of customer service.

    I made an online purchase on 11/28/2011. Fortunately, I printed out the confirmation for that purchase, because I never did receive one via e-mail. Part of my reason for the purchase was to earn Kohl's cash. I earned $15 indicated on my receipt. The receipt also indicated I would receive the Kohl's cash coupon via email within 48 hours, and it was good from 11/28 to 12/5. I have yet to receive it. I called Customer Service on 12/1 and could not get through. I used their email system to ask about this. Their system indicated a 24-hour response time. 26 hours later, still no response. I called again on 12/2. This time I talked a person located in Central America. The connection was bad and she was difficult to understand. I finally asked for her manager. She admitted to me that the email system sending out the Kohl's cash coupons is not working.

    The manager told me she could email the Kohl's cash to me, or I could simply buy something right then and there online. I need to go to the store so I requested it to be e-mailed to me again. I still haven't received it. There seems to be no good means to collect this Kohl's cash I earned. If they are pulling this on all of their customers (and I've noticed quite a few online complaints about this), then Kohl's is falsely advertising, i.e. using a false gimmick to steer customers to spend money at their stores. They are making money for a promise that they are not honoring. Shame on them!

They said I was late which is possible with the time it takes to send mail between Canada and the US. (They can take that into account when they open accounts for Canadian customers). The late charge was $25 and I wrote to advise them that the account was paid in full. I have been harassed with phone call anytime for early morning to late in the evening.

    Now they want over $70 for interest and the late fee. Now all of this is for a $50+ charge which comes to over 100% interest.

I went to the service department, like the woman told me to, and asked for an application form. The woman behind the counter said, "You have to go online."

    I did not understand what had happened from, "Yes come in and I will give you an application" to "Can't help you." I think going through all these online job helpers is so wrong. They never see our experience and they never have the chance to talk to us. The women behind the counter did not even have a name tag on so that I can tell you her name. She was so rude. She told me to get the application over by the phones. I went over there, and there was nothing there. I said thank you and she never even looked up at me or said anything.

I went back to the store to see if I can get a refund. I wish they told me that I can only get a store credit or to try to get a corporate refund.

    They asked me if I ever had returned an item and I told the associate that I never did and if they wanted to check my driver's license, name and so on. She then gave me a customer copy to get a corporate refund on August the 25th.

I explained to this lady that I lost my ticket and my purchase was about a week or 2 before I made this claim. She then proceeded to tell me that she could not find the transaction and very rudely told me that I was getting a store credit and that was all she could do. She didn't let me explain nothing at all. I even told her to look in the system. That I was in fact in that store, because they offered me a credit card and they ran my social security.

    After I hung up, I started looking for the purchases that I made that particular day and realized when the real day was when I made this purchase. I called again to give her the exact date and time frame, but like before, she just was very rude and yelling at me that I was just getting a credit store, without even looking into her system to verify my claim.

    To not find a purchase of a suit that cost over $150 in a time frame between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM? Come on, this is not a hot selling item and to check if they ran my social security number on that day and time frame?

    Like I stated before, I'm not trying to rip this store whatsoever. I have never returned anything and they can verify that. But I don’t think this is fair at all, because I don’t have anything to hide.

I have been told the problem was solved. Most recently, I called the 800 number to check the status of my account. I found out I had an outstanding balance of $78.00 of which I was not aware. I called the company to pay my bill immediately. The customer service rep deducted the late fee. And I made a payment in full. It was not more than 15 minutes after the call that I received an electronic statement showing the $78.00 due. Kohl's, I later found, had reported the late payment to the credit bureau which affected my credit. I called them to request they remove the credit statement. A few days later, I received a letter stating that the statement to the credit bureau would stand. I refuse to allow them to harm my credit which has been excellent.

She yelled at me in a threatening voice that I was not to park there as I was not an employee and she knew all employees there. She proceeded to threaten me with taking my license plate number down so that she could report me to Kolhs and that they could give me a ticket for $180.00.

    If I had heart problems, I could have had a heart attack right there and then. I don't know what kind of employee would treat your customers in this manner whether they are off duty or not. I truly felt that I got harassed without cause. I did speak to assistant store manager Mike, who told me this employee was off duty and at that point, she was a customer herself. But this does not excuse her whether off duty or not. She, Janice, needs customer/people skills to be able to work for your company.

    I have called customer service at 800-694-2647 and spoke to Sharon who took my complaint to forward to you. I feel threatened by your employee that since she took my license plate number, she may want to find me and retaliate against me. I do not see why your company wants to keep Janice as an employee, but you have that decision to make. Please make some amends towards me by compensating me for having experienced this at your store #686 and acknowledge that I am a customer who got harassed by one of your employees. Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to hearing from your company with some positive outcome. Herminia **

    The past two pair of school tennis shoes I have bought for my teenage son have started falling apart within 2 weeks of buying them. The stitching on the side has come undone on both pair! If you pay $100 or more for a pair of shoes, they need to last for more than a few weeks! I am very disappointed in Nike's tennis shoes in the past 2 years. I'm not sure if I will pay for another pair!

    I was trying to return something I had purchased from Kohl's with a $10 coupon. The original associate was very kind and explained that my return will be given as Merchandise Credit and not back on to my credit card. I asked for an explanation and she was not sure, so she brought a manager (Scott) to explain it. The manager stated the same thing and I pointed out to him the terms stated on the receipt that coupons will be given back as Merchandise Credit, but nowhere on the terms does it says that my credit card purchase will only be given back as merchandise credit as well. As soon as I brought this up to Scott, he stated: Do not go that route with me, I am a business major and California Law states that managers can change the policies as they see fit. After this, I was very upset and asked for his name as he was not wearing any type of identification. He said his name was Scott. I asked for his title and he said he was the "big boss".

    I ordered a pair of shoes on their website for my youngest son for school. Four days later, I got an automated email stating that my ordered was cancelled due to a system cancellation, and my credit card will not be charged. That's it, no explanation. I wrote them back for more information.

    Apparently, they manage their inventory control so poorly; their website reflects having something that they indeed do not. So, they cancelled the order four days later. I then discovered that contrary to what they stated about not hitting my credit card, that they indeed hit my credit card. There is currently a hold on my account for the amount that they would have received, had they shipped my order.

    I called in March to ask for a reduction in my credit crd payment as I lost my job nearly 4 years ago. I was trying to make full payments but money was tight. I was told that I qualified for the hardship program and if I would pay $22 mointhly I would be charged no interest or other fees. I agreed and she told me that it would take seversl weeks until my account would be correct. I waited and waited and kept getting bills saying I was in default. Now in August I got a call saying that I must pay $79 a month and also pay late charges. If I COULD AFFORD HIGHER PAYMENTS i WOULD HAVE BEEN PAID UP. i HAVE NEVER GOTTEN A BILL LISTING A $22 PAYMENT DUE. wHATS THE DEAL?

    I purchased $32 with my Kohl's charge card in mid June. On July 29, I received the bill with a payment due date of July 15. My new charges were $48, which I paid. The customer service was uninterested in my dilemma. I needed that money to fix my time machine.

    In July of 2011 I made my payment online as usual however I forgot to update the bank account information that is stored on Kohl's website causing me to pay my bill with an account that is closed. Because I do not have a bill with Kohl's every month, I did not think to update the information on their website when I closed my banking account the prior month. I received an e-mail from Kohl's that my payment had been returned and that they would not accept a payment online for a replacement. I called customer service today to see if they would waive the returned item fee (as I have done in the past with other store issued credit cards) and was extremely displeased with the service I received!

    When Tonya came on the phone I explained that I had made a mistake with my online payment and would like to make the payment over the phone and see if there was any way they could waive the fee. Instead of address my question- Tonya said "ok, let me explain the returned item fee to you." I told her I did not need an explanation, I understood that I had made a mistake by paying my account online and using a checking account that I had closed. She said "our policy does not allow for us to waive any fees associated with a returned item." That was it. No compassion, no offer to answer any additional questions, nothing!

    I understand there are policies in place, I work in the financial industry too. But I also understand that there are exceptions, especially for customer who have been loyal to the company for many years and have NEVER missed a payment on their account. It was clear that Tonya did not care about my business so I asked her how I could close my account which she promptly offered to do without once apologizing or asking if she could help me in any other way. I told her I did not want to close at this time and she said she would transfer me to someone to take my payment (since I have received notice that I had to pay in the store or through the mail, I assumed she was doing me a favor by letting me pay over the phone which I appreciated and thanked her for.) However, all she did was put me back in the general phone rotation. The gentleman that answered 2nd (I did not catch his name) had to get all of my personal information again to pull my account up meaning that the first person who took my call did not actually transfer me but put me back on hold for someone else to deal with. The gentleman asked for my routing # & account # to take my payment however after attempting the payment he informed me that there was a block on my account for the returned item. I explained again what happened and his only response was "let me put you on hold and transfer you to collections." This frightened me because I just received the returned item notice a few days ago and the due date on my bill is not until August 19th. I stopped him before he could transfer me and asked me if my account was sent to collections. He said he wasn't sure but he wasn't able to help me. Once again, he was very rude and had an attitude and I was afraid that if I was transferred again I would be put back in the general cue and have to explain the situation again; I disconnected the call when I was placed on hold.

    I am beyond upset by how I have been treated! I have had my Kohl's charge since 2007 and never once missed a payment or been late. There have only been a handful of times that I did not make my full payment the first month it was due, but I always made at least my minimal payment. I feel that Kohl's does not appreciate my business and in an economy where we have to limit our spending, my patronage should be worth at least a sympathetic ear and sincere apology. A $25 returned check fee is a small price to pay to keep a loyal customer from taking their business to another company. I am sad that you have chosen to disappoint such a valuable client.

    I returned some items in June 2011. I thought I had lost the receipt and the card that I had used for the purchase had been lost and my bank issued another one with a different number. The associate told me I would get a corporate refund. The receipt said to contact Kohls at the number listed on the receipt if I did not receive the money for the return in 7-10 days. Needless to say, I have not received it. This is now almost the end of July and I have yet to get through to anyone of the number at the bottom of the receipt. All I get is a recording asking for the date of the receipt and the 12 digit number it says is not valid. I have my phone records and have spent close to two hours on hold, never getting through. I have been back to the store and the managers say they have no control and cannot help.

    In the meantime, I found the original receipt for my purchase. I feel that the Kohls company in general has stolen from me. The purchase was under $60.00.

    I have been using Kohls' credit card on special occasions, and on 7/23/11 I went online to order a $150.00 gift card for our grandchildren in the Bay Area, to buy their school clothes. My credit card was immediately charged; however, I received an email that there will be a delay in delivering the gift card. I was curious what the reason was, and I consequently was connected to the company’s fraud department. At that time, the representative investigated me by asking for my date of birth, social security number, telephone number, address, my email address and the email address of our son. I was told that it's for my security, which I believe was for the company's security instead. In their email, Kohls didn't mention that there would be an investigation before the order was being processed.

    I always have a good shopping experience in your store. The sales associates are always pleasant and professional. I would just like to see Kohls have an associate in their fitting rooms more often. Monitoring these rooms I believe sets a tone of letting customers know that they should return merchandise back to associate on hangers and not left on floors . The store renovation has a nice , fresh look so I would like to see the fitting rooms reflect that feeling.....

    In December I brought my elderly mother to your store for her winter wear. I was told no wheelchairs available due to a theft on black friday. I wrote an email to Khols and received a response that basically said Khols provides wheelchairs as a "courtesy" and new ones are on ordered for this store. Today we went back for her summer wardrobe and again no wheelchairs were available.

    I was told by your customer service again that they were stolen on black friday and they are waiting for them to be replenished. As a result we attempted shopping with only a walker and my mother fell coming into your store. She fell backwards on her head onto the cement. Your store manager Jaqueline took the report, and offered a 15% discount . We did not come to your store for a discount. All we wanted was a pleasant shopping experience and a little courtesy. We left your store and went to walmart less than a mile from your store and their store was able to provide 3 different styles of wheelchairs for their customers courtesy.

    My question is how can you locate your store in a neighborhood densely populated with elderly customers, and allow this to happen. I do not expect an answer from your corporate service any different than the last. And I do not expect positive changes to happen in a store until corporate gets their priorities in line. I want you to picture your mother laying on the cement with her arms bleeding holding her head in pain . How can you not put a simple courtesy like a wheelchair a priority ? One again, shame on your Khols !

    Recently, I went to Kohl's with the intent on returning some items that were purchased, but that I could not locate my receipt for. The lady at customer service informed me that I was receiving a "corporate refund" which was okay with me. After not receiving it in their time frame of 7-10 days, I called and called and called. On the 5th time of trying to reach someone, I sat on hold for almost 25 minutes; I was finally speaking with a human, who was rudely asking me why I was returning things with no receipt.

    After I informed her that we had recently moved and I had misplaced it, she finally dropped it, so then she proceeds to tell me that I am getting sent a return credit for the store in the amount I was due. I asked why I couldn't have just gotten this refund at the time when I returned the items and she said that it was being refunded in the form of which I paid? Seriously, that’s not what I just asked her. So I informed her that was not what I was asking and she proceeded to tell me the same thing that she just said. So I dropped it and hung up. Seriously, Kohl’s need to get some people answering phones that have just a touch of intelligence.
