Disputes Resolution XXXX XXXX CUSTOMER EXPERIENCEINFORMATION Customer Information : XXXX The details of this matter are as follows : Complaint Involves : Refund Or Exchange Issues Customers Statement of the Problem : I have been waiting XXXX weeks to get my refund back for a incorrect charge and hotel hold. I submitted my receipt by the company which I was advised to do since they said I had to go through my bank and when they admitted they charged incorrectly. I called credit karma daily to follow up on my dispute. I was told MULTIPLE times FALSE information and lied to. On the XXXX I was told I was getting my provisional credit on the XXXX while the dispute was pending so I could ease my mind financially. On the XXXX I still had nothing and I was told it was getting posted that very day and it did not .... I called then on the XXXX because I saw no credit still & XXXX XXXX, told me that they closed my request on the XXXX actually .... I have been lied to by them multiple times. They told me their office was in the XXXX and couldn't do much about it. I submitted my receipt on the XXXX, and explained multiple times that the hotel said I had to go through the bank and explained that this was a provisional credit so I could be covered while they investigate the matter. I'm completely shocked in how they handled this whole thing because they literally lied to me over and over and over just to brush me off ... My own bank!!! Credit karma is highly unethical, unprofessional and very unhelpful to its consumers. I'm so disappointed in the gross negligence of their employees and management.

Regards, XXXX XXXX Disputes Resolution XXXX XXXX MESSAGE FROM CONSUMER : Complaint : XXXX I am rejecting this response because : I was told previously I was getting funds back on the XXXX of XXXX ( today ) and still have not gotten anything. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX CURRENT STATUS : Called and spoke with rep named XXXX : at credit karma on XXXX XXXX he said he needed me to send my ID and photos to prove my identity but many times I've called and they say they have it on file and it's fine. So I told him that's very inconsistent. He refused to speak with me unless I sent it which is fine but I have been told so many times they were fine without it- so that's really terrible practice. XXXX said my money would post before XXXX tonight if I was told the XXXX. 
I told him I wanted to speak with someone in regards to XXXX response because it said to call this number back but no one in his department knows what's going on and said he can't get me a supervisor or maybe within XXXX hours. I told him I would like to request it within XXXX minutes due to the nature and neglect of the issue- I've had a supervisor call me immediately back per request before- so this shouldn't be an issue. XXXX just repeated over and over he would escalate - so once again I found credit karma call unhelpful and unproductive so I told him I would update my notes and tell XXXX the update, thanked him and ended the call I will never send my money to credit karma account ever again because I know if I have a problem they will not be helpful or responsive enough to get me the best result I really need as a consumer. 
I spoke with XXXX on XXXX XXXX she said she has no notes of the XXXX XXXX either and just said XXXX only noted " customer requests for a supervisor call and also customer get a response from XXXX XXXX her claim that a credit will be issued today '' no notes of the actual details or anything and I also still never got any call back and it's the XXXX of XXXX. 
XXXX said she emailed her supervisor about giving me a call back- XXXX to XXXX hours once again. 
Which will be unproductive because no one in this place has any idea what's going on or the XXXX response THEY sent me about my credit for dispute XXXX. 
I just want my {$140.00} as promised by Credit Karma, for dispute XXXX since the beginning of XXXX and now through XXXX as a resolution of XX/XX/XXXX.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
