Consumer complaint received 2023-09-01 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — Store credit card
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: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, I purchased a washer and dryer from Home Deport with a CitiBank credit card I signed up for in order to get a discount. 

After multiple attempts, Home Depot was unable to deliver the correct dryer. I have receipts where I was credited for the dryer, each time they could not deliver it to my residence. 

Recently, I tried to reach the Home Depot Credit Card website because I kept getting phone mail messages about a late payment while I was at work. I was unable to create a password and I finally was able to wait on the phone for a customer service person, when I received one of the phone calls ( day off. ) The person on the other end kept asking me for personal information to verify an account, but would not tell me which account. Finally, after I explained I was not going to give out personal information over the phone from a phone call I received without knowing the details of the account, the person on the other end let me know it was Citibank for Home Depot. 

When I finally received a statement in the mail ( XX/XX/ ), the balance on the account was incorrect. The balance included what appeared to be a charge for the returned dryer. 

When I contacted Citibank card services, they indicated that even though I had electronic receipts detailing the credits for the dryers, they did not want them. They could not help me. It was my responsibility to go to the Home Depot and get the account balance straightened out. 

When I asked for an explanation as to why the electronic receipts did not reflect on my account, when the credits were clearly made on my credit card account. They could not explain and eventually just hung up on me. 

I am just now receiving a statement and aside from the phone calls, I did not receive any additional correspondence regarding the bill. I was under the impression I would not have to start making payments until they resolved the issue with the dryer. However, in addition, I have what appears to be a late charge on my account. 

I am concerned because this type of thing is hard to navigate for XXXX  people. Having these types of policies, where credits made electronically on an account do not register is unfair at the least. I had to navigate long wait times, multiple phone transfers, rude customer service personnel and eventually being ignored and hung up on. There is a segment of our society that would not be able to work through that and would probably end up paying the unfair charges.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX my wallet was stolen in XXXX, MN, and shortly after it was stolen some of my credit/debit cards were used to purchase goods from XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX As soon as I noticed my stolen wallet I locked/canceled all of my cards and called XXXX PD to file a police report. 
( Case # XXXX ) I was working with XXXX Police Officer XXXX XXXX XXXX while filing the report. 

I called Square, one of my card providers, to report 4 different unauthorized charges on my Square Debit card. The representative informed me that I would have to wait for the charges to clear before a dispute could be started. 
Once the charges cleared, I reported them as fraudulent and Square opened a dispute for the 4 separate charges. Square investigated all 4 charges separately, and seemingly did so without noticing how all 4 separate charges were made within about 15 minutes. 
A day later, Square emailed me to notify me that the disputes had been lost and they werent going to reimburse the stolen money. 
I tried, multiple times, calling Squares customer service only to be transferred again and again without any of them being able to address the mistake, escalate the complaint, or give me any information regarding why the disputes were lost or how to challenge the decisions. 

Squares dispute investigation did not contact me, or look at the obvious break of pattern in my card spending, or notice how suspicious the charges were ( at XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX {$510.00}, XX/XX/XXXX {$540.00}, minutes apart ; and at XXXX XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX {$370.00}, XX/XX/XXXX {$370.00}, also just minutes apart )

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I called Comenity Bank to settle a debt, I spoke to a guy and he offered for me to settle both debts I had with their company, one being Express and the other Victoria Secret. The payments were arranged to be debited out of my account on XX/XX/XXXX, and they were debited. A few weeks later I received notifications of a change to my credit score, the Express was zeroed out and Victoria Secret was still charged off with a balance. I contacted comenity and explained. The rep told me they applied the payment to the wrong account ( the payment was applied to a XXXX account that was discharged in XXXX  ) and they would get it fixed. She stated it could take up to 45 days. I then called another month later, because I received a letter stating the payment was applied to the correct account and that was it. I spoke to another rep that stated the person prior did not word the investigation properly, on XX/XX/XXXX she opened another investigation asking that the investigator listen to my call and see that the agreement was to settle the debt for less. XX/XX/XXXX I called again and was told that the percentage the first person I spoke to was not enough to allow me to settle for less, I said that's the amount he told me so that's what we agreed to and that's what I paid. This is going on now month 4, they have reported to the credit companies again the payment that was meant to be a settled debt, they have re-reported my XXXX today 6 years on the accountthey applied the first payment to, on the very last phone call I had the supervisor told me I had 4 unpaid accounts, I told her those were part of a XXXX and she told me I am still liable for them. She would not tell me the out come of this current instigation, she told me it was closed on XX/XX/XXXX the same day I opened it. I just want this settled and closed. Please assist.
