Product: Credit card

Affidavit of Facts : XXXX XXXX Bank of America I purchased tickets from XXXX  for travel on XXXX XXXX  for {$990.00}. My destination was XXXX for travel between XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year>. I contacted XXXX XXXX  via XXXX on XX/XX/year> requesting a change in flights from my departure on XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/year>. The person I spoke to in this regard was somewhat aggressive during the call and made multiple requests for spelling my name, even though he spoke and understood English at an above average level he seemed to want an antagonistic transaction. The price for this change was {$340.00}, which I agreed to but at the billing stage he requested my home address which I felt uncomfortable providing stating my credit card company would only require my zip code. 
He then stated if I did not want to provide an address I could always call back for another service provider. I said ok and canceled my request for changing flights and hung the phone up. 

The following day, XX/XX/year> I received a message from my bank indicating the use of my credit card and as a result I became suspicious and reviewed my account. I noted a pending charge in the amount of {$1000.00}. I contacted my bank immediately and advised I had not authorized any payments, and they stated the billing was from XXXX. I explained the situation and they initiated a fraud investigation and reissued a new card. 

I then reviewed my XXXX account and seen they had charged me the {$1000.00} for a XX/XX/year> flight, while at the same time cancelling my XX/XX/year> flight and cancelling my requested flight change for XX/XX/year>. The attached documentation indicates these actions were done the night before, on XX/XX/year>. I then contacted XXXX and spoke to an associate before requesting the aid of a supervisor named XXXX, which reviewed the account and stated they needed to start an investigation on this matter asap. XXXX then advised me that a manager would contact me to further the investigation. 

Approximately 30 minutes later a gentleman named XXXX called, he stated he was the manager and asked what was my issue. I then instructed XXXX what the employee had done with my credit card and they needed to fix this problem. XXXX continued requesting I cancel the XX/XX/year> flight, which I stated I was not going to do anything because I did not purchase a new flight, and any charge on my credit card was not authorized, and it was his job to correct the mistake. 
At a certain point it became obvious XXXX and XXXX had no intention of making good on this matter, and in fact, stated they would issue a refund in the amount of {$340.00} for the XX/XX/year> ticket. I became frustrated to XXXX XXXX of cursing him, and as a result XXXX hung the phone up. 

Approximately 30 minutes later XXXX called back to negotiate a compromise. He then asked if I still wanted the XX/XX/year> flight, which stated yes. He then advised me to cancel the XX/XX/year> flight and he would then confirm the XX/XX/year> flight. I again advised him that I would not cancel an unauthorized purchase, and that it was his responsibility to follow policy on unauthorized purchases. XXXX than asked what would satisfy my travel needs, which I replied, please repair the unauthorized purchases of {$1000.00}, and change the original XX/XX/year> flight to XX/XX/year> without cost to me for the continued disturbance to my vacation, and the consequences of questionable behavior by XXXX employees. 

On XXXX XXXX XXXX I had my first correspondence with XXXX XXXX XXXX employee, XXXX. I requested the status of my flight home, which XXXX stated I had no departing flights scheduled and that this matter had already escalated to the higher department for proper handling, and that I would be informed within 30 to 60 minutes with an expected update that never happened. These chats would continue over the course of weeks with XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX and back to XXXX XXXX Further, documents of cancellations with dates and times from XXXX  app is attached for review. In addition, I had to purchase new ticket in the amount of {$590.00} to get back home are attached as well.
