Thank you, Sent : Wednesday, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX  To : XXXX XXXX Cc : Subject : case # XXXX From : To : Citizens CC disputes Subject : Dispute XXXX ( XXXX XXXX Vacations ) Dear sir/madam I Received your disputes document dated XXXX XXXX explaining some of the rebuttals of my dispute by XXXX. 
1. Please note that the dispute was generated less than 30 days from the Credit card pending debt and I was told that the dispute would be resolved in less than 2 billing cycles, It has been over 5.

2. I communicated with Citizens XXXX division by phone and via emails on many occasions offering additional data and requesting feed-back of the status, I have received very few call backs and just XXXX letters, XXXX verifying that it is under dispute and this letter dated XX/XX/XXXX. 
XXXX. On all my communications I was told that the disputes department was waiting for a response from the ( XXXX ) XXXX. In XXXX I called again and was told that the temporary credit was a firm credit, I had the representative verify and repeat this and she assured me that it was a permanent credit. The conversation was on a recorded line so verification of that is within your means, please do. 
XXXX. With that said why am I receiving a letter out of nowhere stating that it has been re-billed XXXX. In review of the documentation given by XXXX I have this rebuttal a. It states we were given 3 days to cancel, in fact we were told outright that we will not have 3 days to cancel. 
b. They list a Viking cruise. I have proof that I booked the cruise months before meeting XXXX and that they convinced my wife to have an agents name put on the reservation. I later discovered this and asked them to remove themselves as my agent and they refused stating it was not their policy even though XXXX XXXX XXXX stated that all they had to do was ask to be removed. This restricts me from making any changes/control to the trip. We have planned and saved for 3 years to have this trip. 
c. It mentions a booking of a rental car, I did not rent a car through them or anyone for that period XXXX. At the sales meeting with them they promised to beat other rates excluding airlines. I tried them on an upcoming trip soon after and discovered that they could not beat the basic rates. 
XXXX. Customer service and timely replies is terrible as you must concede based on the months it took them to reply to your requests XXXX. I believe XXXX world vacations is scamming the older populations with promises of incredible savings but then giving them documentation promising XXXX with verbal statements like dont worry about that we have you covered, trust me XXXX. I used a Citizens XXXX for this purchase with the understanding that Citizens would help support my claim against unscrupulous and predatorial entities bent on exploiting senior citizens.
