hello, i have worked for target for almost 4 years now, 2 and a half of wich i have been a department manager, or team lead as we call it. i have had many people apply for the target card, and you MUST have a valid id and ssn to apply, w/o either, the computer will not accept the application and will come up with mail response. also, now we need to verify credit by checking to see if you have any other cards when you apply, and you must have one valid card or it will also come up mail response. mail response is usually how we turn down people with bad or insufficient credit ratings. i understand you had an individual problem with the card, but you must remember, it is not target that is issuing the card, it only has our name on it, we are not the collection agency. RETAILERS NATIONAL BANK is the affiliate, and you should have words to say about them, not the target coporation. we have nothing to do with the card except for our logo and a percentage of the profits from the bank thru "our" card comes to us. also, we have nothing to do with the change of address. when you put in a change of address form thru the postal service, they notify some companys and they change your info accordingly. if their was a mix up with the addresses, you need to take it up with the us postal service as it was their fault for sending the ifo incorretly to the company. and lastly, mervyn's is part of the target corporation, wich means you would have been talking to the same people who you implied were at fault for the whole address mess. and those people, once again, were retailers national bank, not target and not mervyn's. thank you for your time.
