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: FL

Complaint narrative:
Called XXXX XXXX  and requested specialty dinner for XXXX passengers within my group. Was informed by XXXX agent should could only make XXXX reservations at a time and that we would need to make XXXX reservations. The XXXX agent said she could do that. We proceeded and made the initial two reservations and charged my credit card 2 times ( with my approval ). When making the third reservation she informed me the restaurant was now sold out and she could not complete the reservation request. I asked her to cancel the 2 reservations that were made and she stated she had ands the charges would be reversed. 

The credits never appeared and I contacted Citibank and disputed the charges. Citibank contacted the merchant and the merchant did not present any documentation. After two attempts Citibank stated since the merchant did not respond no credit / charge reversal could be completed. I have requested documentation and none can be provided. XXXX claims to record all conversation for security and accuracy reasons and should be able to confirm the conversation. 

Citibank writes : " We have made every attempt to resolve your dispute with the merchant. They are unwilling to issue a credit to your account and have informed us that this charge is valid. While we can understand your desire to obtain a credit to your account, we can not mandate that the merchant issue a credit outside of their terms and conditions. Therefore, we have no recourse available to recover the funds. However, if you wish to pursue this matter, you may contact the merchant directly to resolve. '' The merchant can not just say it is valid, they must offer documentation.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelle 's handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the plateform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFB 's findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams. This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 


15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section XXXX637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!
