If you are receiving robocalls from Appleseed’s about your past-due account, you are not alone. Many consumers experience the stress and frustration of repeated automated calls, especially when trying to manage their finances.
You may be entitled to damages under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). Whether you owe the debt or not, Appleseed’s and Comenity Bank must follow federal law.
Who Is Appleseed
Appleseed’s began as “Johnny Appleseed’s” in 1946 in Beverly, Massachusetts, focusing on classic women’s apparel for mature, active women. The company is part of Blue Stem Brands, Inc.
The Appleseed’s credit card is issued by Comenity Bank, similar to store cards for Ann Taylor, Bed Bath & Beyond, and other retailers.

How to Know If Appleseed’s Is Violating Your Rights
Dealing with constant robocalls can feel overwhelming, especially when you are already stressed about finances. Federal law recognizes that certain collection behaviors cross the line into harassment.
Appleseed’s and Comenity Bank cannot:
- Call before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m.
- Use auto-dialers or prerecorded messages without your consent
- Call after you’ve asked them to stop
- Fail to identify themselves or the company
- Call your workplace after you told them to stop
- Use harassing or abusive language
- Threaten illegal actions
They must:
- Maintain a “Do Not Call” list and honor requests
- Allow you to opt out during robocalls
- Stop using automated systems when you request it
If Appleseed violated these rules, you may be entitled to $500-$1,500 per robocall under the TCPA, plus damages under the FDCPA. You do not have to face this alone – we can help you understand your rights at no cost to you.
How to Dispute Your Appleseed’s Debt
If you believe the debt amount is wrong or the balance on your Appleseed’s account is incorrect, you have the right to dispute it. Many people feel intimidated by the debt dispute process, but it is simpler than you might think.
Send a debt dispute letter to the debt collector or Comenity Bank.
Your dispute letter should:
- Request debt validation
- Include details about communications you received
- Do not volunteer unnecessary personal information
- Give them 30 days to prove the debt
They must provide:
- Proof of the amount owed (receipts, transactions)
- Your personal information matches their records
- Name of the original creditor (Appleseed’s)
Send a second letter to credit reporting agencies asking them not to include the disputed debt on your credit report until it is verified. If you need help drafting a dispute letter or understanding your options, we can guide you through the process at no cost.

What You Can Do to Stop Appleseed’s Robocalls
If Appleseed’s is harassing you with robocalls, you have more power than you might realize. Federal law gives you specific protections, and taking action can bring relief.
- Document everything: Keep records of every call, including date, time, phone number, and what was said. Save voicemails and text messages. This documentation becomes critical evidence.
- Send cease-and-desist: Write to Appleseed’s/Comenity Bank via certified mail telling them to stop calling. Your debt does not disappear, but you must stop most contact. We can help you draft an effective letter.
- Request validation: Demand written proof that Appleseed’s debt is yours and the amount is correct. Many collectors cannot properly validate debts.
- File complaints: Report violations to the (CFPB), Federal Trade Commission (FTC), or your state attorney general. Your complaint helps protect other consumers, too.
- Sue for violations: You may recover up to $1,000 per FDCPA violation and $500-$1,500 per TCPA violation, plus attorney fees. These damages recognize the harm caused by harassment.
