Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I went to Costco and applied for the Citi Visa card I was approved was given a temporary card to shop that day. On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email to log in to my account but I was not able to do that since I had not received the card. I called and was told that my account was on a fraud alert was transferred to Fraud Department was told they could not give me any information. So I called again same thing was transferred to Fraud department was told I would receive a letter to verify my identity I asked the rep to what address because I gave Costco my new address, the rep said they cant give me that information. Then I called on XX/XX/XXXX was told again they cant disclose any information I told them I have not received the letter nor my credit card. I told them I received my bill via email on XXXX but I cant pay because Im  not able to register online because I never received the credit card and they would not allow me to pay over the phone because they cant disclose any information. My bill is now due on XX/XX/XXXX and this is not resolved. I have another account with Citi Bank and I called and they verified information by sending me a link via text not sure why they cant do that with Costco one ( I was notifying them of my change of address ) Citi Bank is treating me like a criminal I gave verbal information and verified with Costco all my information was correct including new address. I am worried this will not be resolved on time so that will go against my credit. I want to receive my information so I can log in and pay my bill.

Complaint narrative:
TO CFPB Dear Sir/ madam I have argument with National Grid because it was inaccurate information to me. 
I am writing to let you know about this bad business practices of billing history that I called XXXX XXXX customer service upon final bill to me and I demanded to come to the reading meter. 
I talked with customer service ( a gentleman man ) from XXXX XXXX, and he told me that we would be changed, and national grid would be refunded my deposited money. But I never received it. Also, they did not read the final meter for me. They ignored customer service requested meter reading. Thats why I disputed it. 
I told XXXX XXXX that I really needed meter reading from your company because I already had experience with XXXX XXXX XXXX that they overcharged me too. But they came to the red meter and after that they had refunded me more than I expected. 
Secondly, I opened my restaurant on XXXX XXXX, 2021 and I received the first bill on XX/XX/2021. 
It was {$4200.00} XXXX, I got an operation only XXXX days ago. I strongly believed that it was an illogical bill and I suspended it. 
I have just XXXX days of operation in a week. Also, my restaurant was not busy at the time. I was concerned about being charged {$4200.00} electrical in the small restaurant operational cost for the first eight day. 
Also, XXXX XXXX installed a new meter at my restaurant in XXXX, but national grid first billing was started on XX/XX/2021 to XX/XX/2021. So, I was concerned there was something wrong with me. 
Therefore, I strongly believe that it was bad business practice or mismanagement for me and unverifiable information for me. Thank you. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX Please logically think that I operated small restaurant extaxtely 3 months only in COVID pandemic period and XXXX XXXX charged me total {$8400.00}.
