contributed to SRFG, which in turn conveyed to the Trust, all
Receivables existing under the Accounts as of the end of certain of
Sears regular billing cycles ending in July, 1990 and all Receivables
arising under the Accounts from time to time thereafter until the

We have applied certain agreed-upon procedures, discussed below, to the

servicing procedures performed by Sears for the following Sears Credit
Account Trusts, Sears Private Credit Account Trusts and Sears Credit
Account Master Trusts (collectively the "Trusts") formed pursuant to the

For purposes of this letter, we have read each of the Monthly Servicer
Certificates forwarded by Sears as Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to
section 3.04(b) of the Agreements during the calendar year ended
December 31, 1994 (collectively the "Certificates").
For none of the periods referred to therein, nor for any other period,
did we perform audit tests for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the individual balances of accounts or summaries of selected
transactions as those enumerated in the Certificates and, accordingly,
we express no opinion thereon.
For purposes of this letter, however, we have performed the following
procedures which were applied, as indicated, with respect to the
Certificates:
a. We have compared the amounts appearing in the following
items as set forth in the Certificates to the applicable month's
Portfolio Monitoring and Monthly Cash Flow Allocations Report:
Trust Items
Sears Credit Account Trust 1990A 3 thru 5, 7 thru 9, and 11
Sears Credit Account Trust 1990B 3 thru 9

Sears Credit Account Trust 1991D 3 thru 5, 7 thru 9, and 11
Sears Credit Account Master Trust I 4 thru 6
Sears Credit Account Master Trust A 4 thru 12
We found such amounts to be in agreement.
b. We have proven the mathematical accuracy of the amounts
appearing in the following items as set forth in the Certificates based on
information obtained from the applicable month's Portfolio Monitoring and
Monthly Cash Flow Allocations Report:
Trust Items
Sears Credit Account Trust 1990A 6 and 10

It should be understood that we make no representations regarding
questions of legal interpretation or regarding the sufficiency for your
purposes of the procedures referred to above. Also, such procedures
would not necessarily reveal any material misstatement of the amounts
referred to therein. Further, we have addressed ourselves solely to the
foregoing items and amounts as set forth in the Certificates and make no
representations as to the adequacy of disclosure or regarding whether

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
Annual Servicing Letter
We have examined management's assertion, included in its representation
letter dated March 24, 1995, that Sears, Roebuck and Co. ("Sears")
maintained an effective internal control structure as of December 31,
1994, insofar as such structure relates to the servicing and financial
reporting procedures provided by Sears to prevent or detect errors or
irregularities in amounts that would be material in relation to the
assets of the following Sears Credit Account Trusts, Sears Private
Credit Account Trusts and Sears Credit Account Master Trusts
(collectively the "Trusts") formed pursuant to the applicable Pooling
and Servicing Agreements (the "Agreements"):
Date of Applicable
Pooling and
Trust Servicing Agreement

Sears Credit Account Trust 1990B February 22, 1990
Sears Credit Account Trust 1990C July 31, 1990

Sears Private Credit Account Trust 1990-I November 30, 1990
Sears Credit Account Trust 1991A March 1, 1991
Sears Credit Account Trust 1991B May 15, 1991
Sears Credit Account Trust 1991C July 1, 1991
Sears Credit Account Trust 1991D September 15, 1991
Sears Credit Account Master Trust I November 18, 1992
Sears Credit Account Master Trust A February 1, 1993
Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly,
included obtaining an understanding of the internal control structure as it
relates to servicing and financial reporting procedures performed by Sears,
testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of the internal
control structure, and such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our
examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Because of the inherent limitations in any internal control structure,
errors or irregularities may occur and not be detected. Also,
projections of any evaluation of the internal control structure to
future periods are subject to the risk that the internal control
structure may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
In our opinion, management's assertion that Sears maintained an
effective internal control structure as of December 31, 1994, insofar
as such structure relates to the servicing and financial reporting
procedures provided by Sears to prevent or detect errors or
irregularities in amounts that would be material in relation to the
assets of the Trusts under the Agreements, taken as a whole, is fairly
stated, in all material respects, based upon criteria established by
"Internal Control - Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
In connection with our examination, nothing came to our attention which would
cause us to believe that the servicing provided by Sears has not
been conducted in compliance with the following applicable Sections of the
Agreements:
Applicable Sections
of the Pooling and
Trust Servicing Agreement
Sears Credit Account Trust 1990A 3.02, 4.03, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 8.07

Sears Credit Account Master Trust A 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 8.07
However, our examination was not directed primarily toward obtaining
knowledge of noncompliance with such Sections.
It should be understood that we make no representations regarding
questions of legal interpretation or regarding the sufficiency for your purposes
of the procedures referred to within this report.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of
