Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Overcharged for something you did purchase with the card
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (MD)

I am writing to dispute a re-bill charge of {$400.00} for XXXX XXXX to my credit card account in my latest billing statement. The re-bill appeared in late XX/XX/XXXX, and showed up on my XXXX statement. This is the THIRD XXXX re-bill for the amount of {$400.00}. 
I originally purchased the XXXX flights on XX/XX/XXXX, and the total cost was {$2700.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX refunded me {$400.00} because our seats on XXXX XXXX could not be reserved in advance. In XX/XX/XXXX, I disputed {$2200.00}. This disputed amount is {$2700.00} ( which is the original ticket amount ) MINUS {$400.00}, because I had already gotten back {$400.00} from XXXX in XXXX. The reason I disputed is because I was having issues with the flights ( i.e. XXXX weeks prior to our departure date, our flights to the final destination were still unconfirmed by XXXX ). 
As mentioned earlier, I have been re-billed the {$400.00} by Chase three times. Prior to the XXXX statement, there had already been two refunds of this re-bill ( the first refund occurred on XX/XX/XXXX and the second refund occurred on XXXX ). Each time, I contacted the dispute division to correct this, because my disputed amount had already excluded {$400.00}. However, this third time, the charge has not been refunded. Ive called the dispute division a few times regarding this third re-bill, and would just be told that, This is still pending review. 
The charge is in error because when I disputed the XXXX charge, I did not dispute the total amount of the plane tickets. I disputed an amount that excluded {$400.00} because it was already refunded to me back in XXXX by XXXX.

I recently opened a XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account XXXX ). The Bank never sent me any statement, nor they e-mailed these. When I found out that I was 60 days late on my payment from the Credit Bureaus, I contacted the Bank.

Suffice to say that I paid the balance and put the future payments to Auto-debit. 

I have thus far contacted the Bank, and even my relationship manager, XXXX XXXX, to no avail. I have never been late or defaulted on my obligations, and I find this instance and lack of their response rather malicious.

I've learned that the creditor didn't provide the necessary 21-day notice along with a statement, which would have given me enough time to process payments and avoid late fees on these accounts.
