Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022 I gave my card to pay for a car ride from the airport to a hotel in XXXX XXXX. The price was {$100.00} ( USD ) and I received a receipt for that amount. Then I saw that I was charged for {$750.00}. I called Citi Visa immediately on the same day, when the charge was still pending, they recommended filing a dispute for the extra {$650.00} and not saying this was fraud, and this is what I did. The charge posted anyway and then the dispute failed, I reopened the dispute and it failed again, it's not clear to me why it failed. I did send the receipt in the initial dispute and when reopening. 
The background for this transaction, as I told Citi Visa, was that I had a scheduled ride from the airport to the hotel, and I was scammed, unfortunately. The scammers made me believe they work for the company I scheduled the ride with, and the only way I could get to the hotel is by paying {$100.00} for another ride which later will be reimbursed by the company. I did not ask Citi Visa for those {$100.00} even though it was fraud. I only asked for the extra {$650.00} because when I use my card to pay {$100.00} I expect to be charged exactly that, and not more.

I was very surprised that Citi Visa did not refund me for the extra charge, and that they let the pending charge pass after I said that the amount was wrong. 
When Citi Visa declined the dispute they sent me a paper that looked like a receipt with a single curved line that maybe they think is my signature, clearly this is a paper I never saw and definitely I did not sign it, and it is not at all similar to my signature. I am not sure why they sent me this pic at all. 
Their main, or only, explanation for declining the dispute was that they couldn't get the money back from the merchant, which is not a good reason, they should have never paid that money to the merchant. 
I never contacted the merchant directly because the phone number they gave me was the phone number of the real company I used to book the original car ride. I did contact that number and they told me that they never directed me to another car ride, which is why I realized I was scammed. I could never contact the scammers directly. 
Thank you.

Issue: Closing an account — Can't close your account
Company: BOEING EMPLOYEES' CREDIT UNION
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I have a savings and checking account at BECU which I have been trying to close since last year. Some time last year, i tried to deposit a 2 party check and they XXXX my access to my account which seems illegal. When I phoned in, they refused to remove the block. Unlike every other bank who would hold and reverse funds, they chose to remove all access i had to my account. 

Since then, i have tried to close my account in many ways, online, on the phone etc. 

On a phone call, i was told that BECU does not permit closing accounts on the phone and i must visit a branch ( which i cant ) or i must mail in the form. 

I downloaded the closing form and the fax number BECU has for account closing requests is also shut down. 

Then I mailed in a letter last month and I got a missed call from BECU but still no check and no confirmation of account closure. 

I would like BECU to close my account and send me my funds. I also dont know if they have tacked on any illegal fees since I literally have no access to my account or visiblility to it for a year now.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
This is a complaint regarding Claim ID : XXXX I purchased what appeared to be tampered gift cards from a XXXX store. I tried resolving the issue with XXXX which is notorious for not having enough security to prevent gift card tampering. After iniitially taking my case, XXXX offered no resolution. At the same store I had in the past also received tampered XXXX XXXX XXXX, in that case XXXX recovered the cards and despite telling XXXX about the lapse, they did nothing to protect their inventory. By siding with the retailer here, BofA is saying there is no protection for buying tampered or fraudulent goods. 

In the final denial, Bank of America has given me 2 reasons for denial of the claim : 1. BofA claims I did not try to resolve the issue with the retailer, this is incorrect, I had attached my communication with XXXX on the claim as well as in the response to additional info. 

2. BofA claims that I had an opportunity to inspect the item hence the claim was ineligible. This is the most troubling reason. As per this clause, consumers have no purchase protection as soon as they step outside the store. This is obviously illegal and BofA knows this. I am willing to bet almost every claim resolved in favor of consumers due to faulty merchandise is a result of the claim being filed once the consumer has left the premises. 

An analogy would be you purchase cooking oil but when you reach home, the oil bottle only has shampoo in it and BofA will claim that since you didnt inspect it at the store, the merchant has no liability.
