State: FL
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
This complaint is in regards to : Billing dispute XXXX for XXXX transactions on my Citi Aadvantage account ending in XXXX, and Billing dispute XXXX for XXXX transaction on my Citi Premier account ending in XXXX XXXX separate purchases were made in the month of XXXX. It was clear soon after that the company is a scam and vanished. Goods and services were never provided. The company showed on their website a refund policy of 60 days. I contacted Citi bank within 30 days of each purchased when it was clear to me company was not responding and they were a scam, to get my money back. In my mind, since the purchase had been done within 30 days, the money was probably on escrow or something. Citi bank instead of contacting the merchant ( quick and easy process ) to confirm they are no longer operating, and did not provide any goods or services to me so my money could be returned, decided to instead wait XXXX week to request for me to sign a form. I sent documentation to Citi bank via the e-mail provided, and also faxed it. I want Citi bank to just deal directly with the merchant so my money can be returned as soon as possible. This ordeal has caused me and my family a great deal of stress and XXXX.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I opened a BJ 's MasterCard in XXXX of 2022. I used it for gas at BJ 's XXXX. I went to make a payment and you could not make a payment through the website, it kept saying " Page not found ''. When I finally made the payment it must have been after their time limit for the date it was due, and the next month I received a late charge. I paid that even though I didn't think I should have cuz it was not my fault, but I paid it along with a note saying I wanted to close the charge and it was written on XX/XX/2022. In XXXX I got a bill for {$55.00} on that closed BJ 's MasterCard. Without my approval, they charged a {$55.00} charge to renew my BJ 's membership which I was not going to renew, to my credit card that had been canceled XXXX months prior to that date. Now apparently my credit score went down about 70 points and although they have credited to a XXXX balance on the BJ 's credit card, it's still affected my credit. My question is, how could a company be allowed to charge on a closed charge account without the owner 's permission. I called the credit bureau, XXXX XXXX, and they said it just takes time for my credit to go back up. Is there anything you can do to stop this company, comenity Bank from doing this to other people.

Sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint:
The company Lexus Nexus has made it impossible for me to recover my true name identity theft. When I reached out and finally got a hold of someone at the company the only reason I was able to was because I spoke with the identity restoration at XXXX because I can not get car insurance. The reason I can not get car insurance is because Lexus Nexus uses inaccurate information from Identity Theft reports that were made against my credit. After much explanation and many many hours on hold nothing has been resolved the only thing I was assured of is that it would never be resolved and I quote no matter what I do the points on my record will never disappear because they will never take them off no matter what kind of proof I show them. That Lexus Nexus is the final decision-making process in any lifestyle credit situation even if the fraud account does not belong to the consumer. There's no way to dispute it or make it go away so I should just give up.
