Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I was the victim of a scam, where someone impersonated a student at my college and claimed to sell concert tickets that didn't exist. I paid for it with a debit card and discovered the scam while the payment was pending and called Capital One National Bank before the transaction was confirmed by my bank and they confirmed the transaction anyway. The total price of the tickets was {$700.00} on two transactions and Capital One National Bank gave me a temporary credit of {$700.00}. They accepted and approved my first disputed transaction of {$500.00} and gave me a final credit for that. They then however said the second transaction was authorized and retained {$200.00} of the temporary credit, even though I called them within 24 hours of making the transaction saying that I did not authorize it. I called the bank 's customer service before either transaction went through my checking account.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint narrative:
Today I called Citibank customer service regarding Best Buy credit card statement with a balance of {$13000.00}. and a fee of {$670.00} and required minimum payment of {$810.00}. I paid {$13000.00}. for heating/cooling system with a check that was mailed to me with 0 % transfer fee on the side of the check. Before I paid for this unit, I called the bank and asked for a credit increase, I was given the right to increase the balance. The person on the phone did not explain what kind of fees would be associated, as it was 0 %. I was surprised to see a fee associated with the check that I paid with and called the customer service line XXXX. I spoke with multiple people. The following are the representatives who provided me their names XXXX XXXX. I explained to her that I requested a fee waiver as no one explained to me that there would be a fee associated with this check, or if there was a fee what it would be if I paid {$13000.00}. The person said she was unable to assist me, she would provide feedback to someone. Also, she told me I did not have to pay {$810.00}. a month, that I could pay {$140.00}. a month. I asked her for something in writing about that as this was not in the statement. She explained that as I went over {$13000.00} I had to pay {$810.00}, but as I talked to her about it I did not have to pay that amount, I could just pay {$140.00}. a month. I explained to her that no one informed me that if I go over {$13000.00}. I had to pay more than minimum amount monthly. I asked to speak with a manager, she transferred me to XXXX ID XXXX. She was already aware of the issue with the fee, my request for fee waiver and the monthly payment issue. I explained that I was not informed of the fees and that I expected to have the fee reversed. I explained that this if fraud and that I needed to speak with a manager. She transferred me to a person who said he is XXXX, he is probably the same person I spoke to the same evening who disconnected the call. XXXX said his Team ID is XXXX. I asked him again why the fee was not being waived. He said " That is a great question. '' I asked him to explain why he was unable to resolve the issue and why he was being condescending. He said that I was being unprofessional then he disconnected the call. I have a picture of the check, on the front there is absolutely nothing written about a percentage that has to be paid. The portion that was torn off the check has a XXXX percent on the front of the check. The company should not mislead customers to believe that there is no balance transfer fee or 0 % when on my bill there is a fee.
