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: TX

Complaint narrative:
We hired an individual to paint our house in XXXX. We were selling the house. He used our Citi Mastercard. The amount he charged was {$7500.00}. The house was empty, and we had moved XXXX XXXX  away, so the realtor was checking on the house and checking XXXX XXXX work. She had some problems with his work and told him it needed to be re-done because it looked so bad we couldn't put it on the market. He charged our card anyway on XXXX XXXX without correcting the work and refused to come and correct it. We had to hire another company for {$10000.00} to come and redo the job. I opened a dispute with Citi on XX/XX/XXXX. Once I realized I could do that with an individual person after talking with Citi about this. I never heard anything by mail and assumed it was fine and checked to see if I had a credit and I did. I then had a minor dispute to enter with them and saw the dispute center online, which I had never used. I did it this way and saw that my dispute with the painter went in his favor because Citi needed more information from us. I had no idea about this, so I called and explained, the agent said no problem, we will reopen the dispute, and you can provide all your information that way. I did, they received it, I have pictures of the horrible work, a receipt etc. I got a notification today that they can not help us because too much time has passed. I called and asked for a supervisor today XX/XX/year> - XXXX is her name. She said there is nothing they can do ; the decision was made. She ended up hanging up on me when I continued to ask questions. This is a legitimate dispute, we were scammed by this guy, and we want our refund. We can not help the time that passed when we didn't receive the letter because our account is set up as paperless. They did not alert us by calling or emailing us to say that our dispute needed more info. We never knew about the online dispute center. A letter or call to inform us would have kept this from happening. They dropped the ball and should have our back since we are customers that spend money with them daily.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the continued reporting of an account by XXXX that contains multiple, persistent inaccuracies across both Equifax and Experian. These discrepancies have negatively impacted my credit profile and violate my rights under the * * Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681i XXXX XXXX 

Despite previous attempts to resolve this issue directly with XXXX, the following inconsistencies remain : - The account is reported as opened in XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year>XXXX XXXX XXXX yet documentation from XXXX confirms the loan was XXXX XXXX approved in XX/XX/year>XXXX XXXX XXXX 
- This raises a fundamental question : how can an account be reported before it was approved or originated? 
- Additional inconsistencies exist between the data reported to Equifax and Experian, including variations in payment history and account status. 

Due to the * * ongoing and uncorrected inconsistencies * *, I am formally requesting that this account be * * removed entirely * * from my credit report. Under FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), if information can not be verified or consistently maintained, it must be deleted. 

Please consider this letter a formal dispute. I have enclosed supporting documentation, including the original loan approval letter, to assist in your investigation. I expect a response within the XXXX period required by law. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
