Poor Customer Service
I visited the JCP Salon in Billings, Montana to purchase a bottle of conditioner. After returning home I discovered I was given shampoo by mistake. I returned to the store the next day to exchange the product for the correct item. The person who waited on me was discourteous and took a long time to complete the transaction. She insisted I return the shampoo and then make another transaction to purchase the conditoner instead of making a simple exchange in one transaction. I conceded to the return, but chose not to wait even longer for her to ring up the conditoner. As I left the salon I asked her for her name. She gave it to me and then pointed her finger and said that I had better not say anything about her to the manager. I had not intended to speak to a manager. I asked for her name so that I could complete the JCP online survey on the service she gave me. At this point I asked for a manager to meet me at the catalog dept. While I was waiting for the manager, the same employee walked from the salon to where I was standing in the catalog dept and began yelling at me. I remained quiet while waiting for the manager. When the manager finally got there she allowed the employee to make further unnecessary comments before the employee took herself back to her post. The manager made no attempt to stop the ridiculous behavior. I expressed my concern with the threats and intimidation presented by the employee and left the store. After each transaction, the JCP employee is required to tell the customer to go online and give feedback. However, it seems to me that the only feedback they are interested in is when the customer has a positive experience, which shows a good rating. It defeats the purpose of productive feedback if the JCP employee can threaten a customer to not report abuse.

Undelivered draperies
This experience started on April 20th 2010. My wife and I went to look at custom made draperies. We picked out a style that we both agreed on and the customer consultant told us that they would be delivered around May 17. Get a phone call on May 15 and were told that the material was defective and delivery would be delayed. Waited another 6 weeks and was told material was at the vendor and would be processed on a Rush basis. Another couple of weeks pass and was told that the 2nd batch was also defective. The drapery consultant asked if we would come in and pick another drapery design. Asked when the material we picked would be available, was told in 3 weeks as we could not agree on another style of drapery. Another 3 weeks pass and we received a call saying that the material was being discontinued due to defective material.

Went in again to pick another pattern. We found another that was acceptable. We were also told that the vendor would make the drapes for the same price as the original order even though the fabric was more expensive. We agreed and was told that the drapes would be delivered in 3 weeks. Four days before the delivery date, we received a call saying that the material has been back ordered. New delivery date was set for October 25. It is now Nov 3 and still no drapes. After another call, the person we dealt with was on leave. No one else knew about the order. They have yet to contact us about the order.

My wife and I are upset that no one contacts us until a couple of days before delivery to tell us that the material was either defective or back ordered. According to the design consultant, the vendor would make the drapes for the same price as the original order. We paid for the drapes in full on April 20, 2010. If we would have had to make payments on the order, we would have had to pay interest on the balance and still have no drapes. I don't know who is involved with the process but I am very disappointed with the way we were led to believe that our drapes would be delivered only to have them call and say the material is back ordered 2 days before the delivery date. We have been very patient and I don't know what to expect anymore or who is involved in the decision making as to what is going on. Please Help!

My wife and I have a theory that they would like us to cancel the order so the vendor would not have to make the more expensive material for the same price as the original order, as promised by the design consultant. This has been a very long ordeal, and we still have light blue sheets on our windows for privacy. It just amazes me that out of 500 or more designs, that the two designs we picked have so much trouble being made. Oh by the way, the original material that we picked is still being shown in the samples at the store.

Employee Abuse
My wife has worked for J C Penney in Florida for 18+ years. She has been in the same store and department for 13 of those years and has seen managers and ladder climbers (butt kissers) come and go. Now they've changed their own rules demanding she push their outrageous credit card, and require her to meet a quota or they will cut her hours. Come on anyone with half a brain isn't going to have a card with 23.9 percent interest, but those are the customers they are recruiting. Ones with half a brain and a good credit score of course. She also has to maintain OSAT scores and be rated by customers. We all know how easy it is to piss them off. As a customer myself I can attest to that fact. Now to intimidate her further they have removed her from the department she has been in for 13 years and replaced her with two part timers that they don't have to pay benefits to and punish her for chewing gum on the floor once while she has witnessed managers doing the same without any actions being taken to punish them while putting her on a 90 day probation, watching her every move to find a reason to let her go.
They tell her if she can't raise her OSAT scores they will cut her hours even more. How can you force customers to go home and fill out surveys on line? Hell some people don't even have computers, and who really want's to waist the time? I don't!
J C Penney and its managers need to wake up and get back to true customer service and treating employees with respect and not like little children. SHAME on them for threatening people this way with their livelihoods. I would fire every last damn one of them and really cut their hours to let them know how it feels!! J C Penney has really fallen to the trailer trash crowd!! Not only in their choice of management but have you seen their cheep products that they are pushing these days? NOT WHAT THEY USED TO BE.
My wife has worked for this company for 18+ years giving a tremendous amount of her time an life with very little reward.We are both aware that she is not the first person they have done this to.
To force or make the job ridiculously unbearable for employees who have been loyal and have their time in, to quite their employment just before they reach retirement. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!!! ARE YOU ONE OF THEM?
If you have had similar experiences I would like to hear from you. Together maybe we can make a change and turn J C Penney back around.
J C Penney used to be a good place to work and shop what can we do to make it that way again?

Harassment
I am a an employee of J C Penney at Cortana Mall and my complaint involves the mistreatment of myself and specific co-workers. Over the past three months the harassment has become unbearable with constant threats and comments from manager (supervisors) in reguards of losing our jobs due to suspicious tardies and absences evaluations. This doesn't seem to be an overall store issue and only and select few have been repremanded for the issue. The store stays in horrible condition and is never kept clean and upright until there is a known visit from our district manager. We never receive our schedules in adequate time and when they are posted it is the week of never the week before. I have personally witness superisors let other associates take money out of the store cash registers and place into the own pockets. I also have been sexually harassed by one of my store high ranking mangers. I believe that this store needs to be put under investigation due to the fact the rules and protocol are not being followed properly.

Changed billing due date w/o notice
I went online today to make my usual credit card payment to JC Penney. That was the first I knew that Penney had changed my online payment date, moved it back into December (my 2nd December payment) and fined me $35 because my payment date had been changed.

I talked to 3 people in Cust. Service & finally found one who gave a darn about customers. She said they didn't notify those who pay online because it was "too expensive." I closed out my account and cancelled an order...but I'm still burned up! This is how retailers are making $$ in a poor economy -- by charging enormous interest rates on charge cards and penalizing customers for "late Payments" by changing the due date without notification.

Ripped off
My mother had life insurance policies with J.C. Penney Insurance Company and had been paying on the policy for many years through her credit card. When I called to get a written explanation of benefits I was told that the policy had been canceled. Then I was told that I did not qualify for any benefits because the cause of death did not meet the policy guidlines. I have contacted the Texas Department of Insurances and they stated that this company has defrauded many people the same way. I would like a written explanation of benefit or denial of benefits from the complaint to provide to the Texas Department of Insurance.

I have had to pay for my mothers funeral arrangements out of my own pocket as most of the insurance companies that my mother had no longer had records of her coverage. I live on a fix income as my husband passed away last year.

Awful company
My mom paid $44.00 a month for this insurance for over 10 years. When she passed in April of 2002, I was told that there was a record of the insurance, but it had lapsed. Who would allow a policy to lapse after investing in it for ten years? She paid $50, 000.00 or more over this time period but, I as her sole heir, received nothing.

I'm still paying for medical expenses that occurred during her five-year illness through a bank loan. This has been a difficult hardship.

Overcharged
I have had an account at JC Penney for many years. Today I received notice that they were increasing my interest rate, decreasing the time in which I can make payment after receiving the monthly bill and increasing the payment amount on my balance.

All this is legal and with the economy what it is, I don't know if I will be able to maintain my credit worthiness with them. It amazes me that they can just change terms on my account like that and just expect me to do what they say. I know their earnings are down, but so are mine...! Any advice or help out there?

Unauthorized billing!
I check for $105.00 was submitted to my bank on the 20th of August. I do not remember authorizing this transaction. I authorized a transaction for my Meijer account of which $24.00 was to be taken out of my account. This $105.00 transaction over drew my account.

Beware!
