Consumer complaint received 2023-07-20 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge 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: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, I paid {$5300.00} for two XXXX air conditioning condensers ( model XXXX XXXXXXXX ) using a CitiCard. At the time of the purchase I made arrangements with my installer, a regular customer of the AC seller, to pick up the units from the seller. 

After my installer went AWOL without having picked up the units from the seller, I called the seller to cancel the order and the seller agreed that they would not now release the units to the installer because the order was cancelled. However, the seller would not give me a refund ; bizarrely, the seller now claimed that the company policy was not to deal with the purchaser ( and only deal with the installer ). The seller advised me to seek redress by contacting Citi card to have the transaction voided, and my card credited. 

I made a formal request to Citi to credit my account for the merchandise that I did not receive but paid for. And I made sure to advise Citi that the merchandise still resided with the seller, as I confirmed with the seller over the phone and by email on XXXX XXXX. 

Citi responded by asking for a sales invoice as proof of purchase and/or confirmation of the lack-of-delivery/entitlement-to-a-refund. I explained to Citi that because I made a phone order, there WAS no invoice. I reminded Citi also I had indeed confirmed ( by the email that I had already shared with Citis investigator ) that the seller agreed to void the sale and hold onto the merchandise. I recommended that their investigator should simply call the seller to confirm : 1 ) that I used the Citicard for the purchase ; 2 ) that the order was canceled and ; 3 ) that my installer never picked up the units that I purchased. 

Bottom line : the seller held onto my purchase. I paid {$5300.00} that was never refunded and Citi failed in its duty sufficiently to investigate the claim on my behalf, looking to me as cardholder essentially to perform their investigation for them. Citi failed to credit my account by simply recovering the funds from the seller, AS THE SELLERS AGENT RECOMMENDED AS A SOLUTION. 

I am not now attaching documentation, since Citi has already collected that material and has it in its file.

Complaint narrative:
So I was in a call according to my account and they were telling me that I needed to have {$500.00} daily, which I believe its very unfair because they never told me that. And theyre taking funds out of my account without my permission and my account has been froze. This is very unacceptable by Wells Fargo.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I have sent letters out via first class mail with tracking on XXXX and XXXX. According to the FCRA, the Companies are to update the status of my accounts as ( in dispute/ dispute in progress ). I have not heard anything from none of the bureaus ( EQUIFAX, XXXX, XXXX ). These Companies have failed to acknowledge my letters in which I have pointed out violations and innacuracies that MUST be deleted due to my federal rights under the FCRA. I have also verified my identity, proof of address and attatched a current utility bill to ALL letters. If these violated accounts are not removed according to the violation code included in each dispute letter, the bureau MUST provide physical evidence as to who, what, when, where and why they are Verified as CORRECT. 
according to 15 US code 1681b- permissible purposes of consumer reports, states that ONLY IN WHICH I GIVE WRITTEN PERMISSION/INSTRUCTION TO REPORT AN ACCOUNT ON MY CREDIT PROFILE, AND ONLY IF I PERMIT, THAT THESE ACCOUNTS WOULD FOLLOW FEDERAL GUIDLINES UNDER THE FCRA. These Companies have failed to comply to my request and if they do not respond in reasonable timing to my request, this WILL turn into a federal complaint, lawsuit.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
This is in regards to my XXXX Capital One credit card. 

The XX/XX/XXXX statement balance for my account was {$11000.00}. This account is set up for automatic payment of the full amount on the XXXX of each month. The next payment is scheduled for XX/XX/XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I made a payment of {$10000.00} which should have reduced the statement balance to {$1300.00}. 

Yet - even though I already paid {$10000.00} toward this account- Capital One will still deduct the entire {$11000.00} from my checking account. 

The only way I can avoid this is to cancel the automatic payment for the month of XXXX. 

How is this practice ethical? If I paid {$10000.00} toward the balance of {$11000.00} shouldn't that payment be reflected at the time the automatic payment is due? 

This seems unethical to me.

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed this account with you before and you failed to remove the account without validating the correct balance and payment history. I reported that you are reporting the wrong balance. I will attach the settlement letter from this company showing the correct balance I owe. Even without the settlement letter, the 3 bureaus are reporting different amounts. How does this meet FCRA guidelines when all data furnished should be the same? I am demanding that the following account is removed from my credit report due to inaccurate reporting and due to the account being settled. Being that I have proof of incorrect reporting and my attempts at getting this account deleted, I will be seeking compensation due to many FCRA violations if this account is not removed from my credit report within 15 days : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
