Complaint:
I did purchase a new bedroom furniture from XXXX XXXX store in XXXX, VA, on XX/XX/2019. I paid with a Visa CITI, Costo, card ending in XXXX, under my name, at XXXX XXXX. The amount was {$1000.00} dollars. Later on the same day, My wife personally canceled the deal. My wife did walk into the store and a refund ticked was issued by the store to my Visa card ending in XXXX for {$1000.00}, the time was XXXX XXXX. 

After 30 days I opened my Visa credit card statement on XX/XX/2019. I saw the charge from XXXX was there and no credit or refund was observed. I did call immediately Visa and ask for the error. They told me that the store never refunded the money and to call them. Id id call the furniture store and was told that I have the refund ticket that is proof that the money was send to the VISA CITI credit card. 
I did call back VISA and was told not to worry, they will start a dispute and put a conditional credit on the amount. The dispute lasted three months. I had to send paper work to the Credit card and a letter explaining my position which I did. I have expend so far more than 15 hours on dealing with this fraud. 

After that three months the Credit Card company final decision was with the furniture store and told me that I have to pay that amount. I don't want bad credit so I pay that amount at the end of XXXX. I had to and see my dad outside the country in XXXX and was not able to follow up in this complain earlier. 

I was hoping that after I pay then the store will have that money in their account. I just talk to them and they keep saying that the Credit card company has the money. 

Please help me clarify this problem. 

Yes there is a receipt for the refund to the credit card from the furniture store but the Visa Card said they never received. Please help me solve this situation that is costing me a lot of time and money that I need for my father 's XXXX XXXX. 

Thanks, XXXX XXXX XXXX P.d. I have been advised to complain about also the furniture store to my Attorney General.

Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: GA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022, I submitted my, full, mortgage payment via the loan servicer 's client portal ( LoanCare ). On XX/XX/2022, I received an email stating my mortgage payment submitted on XX/XX/2022, was reversed. I called my loan servicer to see why my payment was reversed. The representative could not tell why my payment was reversed and advised me to contact my bank to see if there was an issue on their end. I called my bank and spoke to a representative that verified the funds were available for payment, however, there was no record of request from my loan servicer for my mortgage payment. I then called my mortgage servicer and verified my banking information on file with a customer service rep. My banking information was correct, and I resubmitted the payment again on XX/XX/2022, using my same banking account via the loan servicers website. I received another notification on XX/XX/2022, requesting a return call to my loan servicer. I called and spoke with a customer service rep and was told my payment was reversed for the second time for XX/XX/2022. I again verified my banking account information with the customer service representative from my mortgage servicer. I then submitted my payment via the live customer service representative and gave permission to debit my mortgage payment from my banking account and my payment was submitted. I received a third notification that my mortgage payment was yet again reversed. Now my mortgage payment is 30 days late, has disqualified me from completing the loan assumption process, reported late to all three CRAs, and lowered my credit score. I spoke with a manager for my lender and was advised to mail in a cashier 's check for XXXX and XXXX 's payment, give the payment time to process and submit a dispute to the mortgage servicer 's payment research department to dispute the 30 day late payment. I did exactly as I was instructed, and I got a cashier 's check the same banking account I used to submit the previous three payments. However, the mortgage servicer would not fix the late payment issue. The manager even waived the late fee because I sent documentation from my bank showing the entire amount of my mortgage payment was in the account since XX/XX/2022, and there was no changes/activity in the banking information in the month of XXXX. I believe this is unfair reporting. I submitted my payment three times and did everything possible to ensure my mortgage payment was not late. But due to their system error my mortgage payment was flagged as 30 days late for the first time since I opened this loan.

Complaint:
Thank you all for taking my complaint! From day 1 I have had nothing but problems from Barclays Bank, and their AAdvantage Aviator XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Mind you they solicited me during my first class flight on XX/XX/2022. I was approved for {$3500.00}, and I was offered : 0 % intro annual percentage for 15 months on balance transfers made within 45 days of account opening. 

{$0.00} introductory annual fee the first year, after that {$99.00} When I tried to request a balance transfer after approval, they tried to drag it out past the 45 days so they did not have to honor the promotion. I had to contact them constantly regarding the balance transfer offer. I had to escalate to a manager. I finally received the balance transfer. 

Now they have started charging me erroneous insufficient funds fees. When I schedule a payment, they try to draft the funds before the scheduled date, then they retry on the scheduled date. I have funds in the account, however my Credit Union s not going to release the funds until the scheduled date. Tw billing cycles have passed, and they have charged me two insufficient fund fees. In my opinion they are doing this to recoup the {$99.00} annual card fee, which was waived under this alleged promotion. In my opinion they are charging me these erroneous fees, because they can not collect interest from due to this alleged promotion. Ever since I rang the alarm on the erroneous insufficient fund fees, they refuse to speak to me. When I chat they tell me to call in. When I call in they leave me holding for an alleged supervisor ; Or Manager. I am paying my bill, I am paying my bill before the due date. In my opinion Barclay Bank, and AAdvantage AviatoXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX are committing fraud on my account! In my opinion Barclay Bank, and AAdvantage Aviator XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX are stealing money from me! Please help me stop Barclay Bank, and AAdvantage Aviator XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX are committing fraud on my account from the illegal activities they are committing against my account. They are ruining my credit with these erroneous insufficient fund fees. Please help me!

Sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, i was notified by XXXX XXXX of a suspicious charge that i did not make. I then checked my online banking with USAA and saw that there was a charge of {$2200.00} made at XXXX XXXX which i did not make. I immediately called USAA to report the unauthorized charge and they cancelled my card and opened an investigation. I subsequently found out upon returning to my car that my vehicle was broken into and my XXXX XXXX Credit card and my USAA Debit card was removed from my wallet. USAA temporarily refunded the amount of the charge back into my Checking account. 

On XX/XX/XXXX i received a letter from USAA informing me that the charge at XXXX XXXX was a legitimate charge and they would be recovering the {$2200.00}. After learning of this I called USAA and requested they re-open this case and i also advised them that i was the victim of a burglary as well as understanding that nobody knows my PIN #, so the fraudulent transaction at XXXX XXXX should of never went through in the first place. I am also in possession of my California Drivers License which was not taken with the XXXX cards so I dont understand how someone could make such a large purchase without presenting an ID or verifying my PIN number. 

On XX/XX/XXXX : I received another letter from USAA advising me that they have still determined I am responsible for the fraudulent use of the Debit card and will not refund my money. It should be noted that XXXX XXXX determined the charges made on that card fraudulent. Any help you can give me with this would be very much appreciated if i can provide you with any additional documents or information i would be happy to do so. 
Thank you very much XXXX XXXX
