Sears facebook and public relations officers - patronizing and unaccountable

If you read my earlier post with respect to my Sears Credit Card experience, the story has devolved. I posted my experience on the sears facebook page. I was apprised by the sears wallpost PR gatekeeper that he was sorry for my unfortunate experience and provided me a contact email of a social media senior case manager and they would help me out.  I proceeded with the process all the while thinking, shouldn't this guy start the process and have someone get back to me?

Nonetheless, I emailed once and called twice and finally I received a response.
Here are the email transcripts:

Mr. Balla,

Thank you for your reply. With credit concerns the only assistance I can provide is to contact CITI bank who handles all credit issues. In order to do this for you I need your complete address and the phone number used when the line of credit was opened if it is not the same as the number you have provided. Thank you for your time.

Nadia M.

I'm not sure on the exact date, but I believe the acct was opened in the fall of 2011 or spring of 2012?

Mr. Balla,

Thank you for the information you have provided. I am located in the states, this being said you would need to contact my Sears Canadian team for further assistance. The phone number for Sears Canada is 888-473-2772. Thank you for your time.


Still...to this date, there has been no further communication, resolution or accountability on the part of sears...
