In XXXX I received a notice from Macy 's American Express that my account was overdrawn. Knowing that I had not used the card since the original purchases I made when I opened the account more than a year ago, I contacted them and reported the fraudulent charges. It was a frustrating phone call and process - which took about 45 minutes. When I received the fraud packet in the mail a few weeks later, I completed and faxed all requested information back to the company as directed, two weeks prior to the deadline. For the last 4 weeks, I have been unable to successfully speak with the fraud department or anyone on behalf of Macy 's American Express to determine where they are in the investigation. Every time I call, it says that the office is now closed ( I have tried through out the day, up to 10 times or more a day ) or I am rerouted to someone in collections and it takes a long time to explain that I am not delinquent on the account or going to make a payment on it because I am not responsible for the charges. I am getting harassing collections calls daily. I have explained that the charges were fraudulent and the I have filed a claim but the calls have not stopped and the callers do n't listen to what I am saying but instead ask me to make a payment. I am very clear in explaining why I 'm not making a payment. Finally, after long wait times and having to insist several times that I need to speak with the fraud department, I was transferred to a woman in fraud prevention ( note prevention, not investigation ) who explained that they recently converted to a new phone and computer system and she could n't see any record of my filing the complaint, but said not to worry because it was probably part of a 4 week back log in the department. I asked her what I could do about the collections calls because I am concerned about my credit. I said that it would seem that the system they use does not " share '' information in a way that would prevent the harassing phone calls while a fraud claim was under investigation.
