Complaint sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

We charged some travel arrangements on XXXX XXXX and XXXX of 2019 using our Citibank Visa card. I became ill and was hospitalized starting XXXX XXXX and was released from the hospital XXXX XXXX with a home nurse and medical assistance. We thought we might be able to recover in time for the trip in XXXX but in XXXX my doctor said it would not be advisable so XX/XX/XXXX we called to cancel. At That time the coronavirus was just starting to cause problems. We spoke with the travel company, XXXX XXXX XXXX and they told us that because of the virus they will give us a refund. The Air tickets and hotels were to be covered by our travel insurance. We contacted Citibank and asked to dispute the charges as did our travel companions on their XXXX XXXX charge. Citibank came back saying that the XXXX company and air had a policy to not give refunds. Our companions got a full refund through XXXX. I have emails from the travel company saying that they will give a refund. Can XXXX XXXX be smarter or Citibank just not caring about us as customers?
Complaint sub-issue: Problem with fraud alerts

I was advised in XXXX. XXXX by the IRS of identity theft after filing my XXXX return. I completed all the necessary and required steps and had my credit reports locked down by all XXXX agencies-I thought. I was advised by the IRS in XXXX of XXXX of of having my identity stolen again. I completed all the necessary steps. The IRS advised I apply for a pin number. I did but XXXX of the requirements was to submit a credit card and to do that I needed to have my locked down report at Equifax to be temporarily lifted. I was unable to lift it because it said it had not been locked down and my only choice was to lock it down, not a choice to lift it. I attempted in every way to talk to someone but I found it impossible to have a voice contact with Equifax. This is unacceptable. If these types of organizations want to have the responsibility of the " keeper of the keys '', they need to make themselves readily available to the consumer and not hide behind websites and phone trees. These types of organizations need to be held accountable for easy access by the public when needed.

I have asked them to remove this from my credit bureaus several times and although their automated system say they have asked the credit bureaus to remove them from my file since XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, the credit bureaus say they are still reporting every month. So, they are literally being deceptive. They have removed the debt for a while and have put it back. I need help getting this settled and to alarm CFPB of their deceptive practices.

I am an XXXX  and I work to hard and face to many dangers this pandemic to just give my hard earn sweat and blood money to the thieves.

I called XXXX XXXX today, now they say I owe them under another company but the price has not changed. I ask how come the company has switched and they say I do not know what was told to you yesterday XX/XX/XXXX. Now I am sure there is something deceptive going on. I need help getting to the bottom of this. I only wish I could get yesterdays recording as they say everything is recorded. I got a representative from Ideal Image to send me proof I do not owe them, but all of a sudden when I said I have proof I do not owe Ideal Image, they list another company. Please help. Thank you.

Complaint sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

XXXX XXXX is practicing some sort of fraudulent practice against consumers On XXXX XXXX I purchased 21 bags of insulation, in doing so I was allowed to use their insulation machine for free. Midday, we realized we needed additional bags and went and purchased 5 additional bags. However, the contractor did not utilize any of them. The following day XX/XX/XXXX, I returned 5 bags of insulation. The cashier relayed the charge would be placed back on my card and a receipt was provided. That afternoon, I called home depot credit services to obtain my balance and to ensure that the credit was at least pending. I was told by a male party that they see the return but could take 3-5 days to see on my account. ( PLEASE NOTE : I record all my calls with any businesses ). I continue to wait setting up payments through my banker. After a few times since XX/XX/XXXX, of attempting to obtain my statements through my bank, I was repeatedly told that it could not be processed because it is set up with another account. PLEASE NOTE : that account is closed. I call again on XX/XX/XXXX and speak with a female party and ask her why is my balance not reflecting the refund of return insulation on XXXX. Initially, she tells me she sees the return but only for 4 bags being returned, then further into the conversation she changes her story stating she does not see the refund, but she will call the store to see what occurred. On XX/XX/XXXX, no f/u from Home Depot so I log into my account and my balance still does not reflect the refund, so I write on their website detailing my frustration with the inconsistency of things Im told and still not seeing a refund. I am sent an automatic respond from customer service detailing how to dispute a charge and to set up auto pay and that they believe they resolved my concern. So a series of emails ensues relaying to them why do I have to put in a dispute if I spoke to a representative on XX/XX/XXXX and told them there was a discrepancy, was it not entered then? They came back telling me to follow up with the merchant to resolve the matter. At this point I was mad and requested them to cancel my card, and called the XXXX XXXX XXXX. You can never get who you need on the phone of course, so I left a VM on the party I was transferred to regarding credit that was never issued. So my question is why was I told on XXXX they saw the refund and wait 3-5 days to see it be applied to my account? Why on XX/XX/XXXX I m told they see the refund, then in the same conversation told later the refund is not seen. How is it seen by two parties and then not seen or applied. As I explained to the rep on XX/XX/XXXX I dont need to use a credit card because everything I want I have the money in the account to purchase, however I get bombarded almost daily with mailings from them asking such and such promotion for using your card so I did and I regret that I did

Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Last year, during the end of XXXX XXXX, I was scammed for an apartment sublet. The individual sent a check which PNC deposited into my account as spendable money by the next day. The individual did overpay me, and thus asked for a small amount back. I sent this through XXXX XXXX as a money order. Roughly six or seven days after the check was deposited, it bounced due to being a fake check. This overdrew my account. I worked with PNC to deposit money in order to get the account back to XXXX. During this time, I also filed a PA State Police report on the individual who sent the fake check, as well as reporting and receiving case numbers from both XXXX XXXX and the Federal Trade Commission. The account was set to XXXX and then closed. 

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I attempted to open an account at a XXXX XXXX XXXX. However, after running my XXXX report, they declined me due to PNC closing my personal checking account under the category " Suspected Fraud Activity. '' PNC also claims in the report that " Any amounts owed have been paid. '' After finding out this information, I called PNC, and was redirected to multiple apartments, which then informed me that I owe for the XXXX XXXX transaction for XXXX that was made after my account was closed. This was due to them revoking a provisional credit given to me after I was scammed for that money. 

Not only does PNC claim I owe them money, while also attempting to " settle '' the amount, no one is able to provide a clear reason as to why the account was closed under that category and if the closure reason would be removed after I paid this " debt '' they claim I owe.
