Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX I purchased a living room set at XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX in XXXX XXXX, IL with a total amount due of {$4200.00}. I paid {$600.00} in cash and debit card, with the salesman in the store, and charged the remaining {$3600.00} on my Citi Simplicity credit card. I swiped my credit card when the salesman informed me he was ready to accept payment. The salesman informed me the first swipe did not work and he requested I swipe a second time. 

My card was charged twice for the same purchase. The first charge in the amount of {$3600.00} is authorized. The second duplicate charge in the amount of {$3600.00} was not authorized by me. 

The merchant made an error at the point of sale. After numerous attempts to contact the merchant to request the unauthorized charge be reversed and resolved went unanswered, I filed a dispute with the credit card company on XXXX ( dispute ID number : XXXX ). The credit card company provided a conditional credit after I submitted supporting documentation this was an unauthorized charge, contacted the merchant, and gave the merchant until XXXX to respond. 

On XXXX the credit card company notified me that they have closed their investigation, reversing the conditional credit in the amount of {$3600.00} plus interest ; and attaching a notice from the 3rd party vendor ( Stripe, Claim Id : XXXX - XXXX ). THE END OF PAGE TWO OF THIS DOCUMENT STATES THAT MY DISPUTED CHARGE IS A DUPLICATE AND THAT THE MERCHANT/3RD PARTY IS NOT CONTESTING. In subsequent contact with the merchant ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) since the XXXX dispute, the merchant provided a statement in writing that they are not disputing the unauthorized duplicate charge. XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX reported to me via XXXX XXXX that the unauthorized duplicate charge would not be disputed. 

The XXXX letter from the credit card company indicated that I may continue disputing the unauthorized duplicate charge if I reply by XXXX. On XXXX I provided additional documentation to support the my dispute via fax and email to Citi, and demanded that the unauthorized duplicate charge and interest be withdrawn and reversed permanently. 

The canned and automated reply emails from Citi Simplicity ( the credit card company ) for my ongoing dispute are not reassuring. My trust in their process is waning. 

I did not make, nor did I authorize, a duplicate charge in the amount of {$3600.00} on XXXX the unauthorized charge was an error made by the salesman at the point of sale in the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX I was notified that XXXXy XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX /Ally Financial ran my credit without my knowledge for a XXXX XXXX XXXX ; I was told by the salesman that I was a Co ' signer for. Unaware of his scheme he used another persons check stubs ( who's name was nowhere on the contract ) and put the car in my name. I am a XXXX patient who is on Social security and cant afford 2 cars ; I was in a XXXX that was currently being financed with them. When I noticed the problem I contacted the dealership multiple times.The salesman always gave me the run around telling me the problem would get handled. After a few months of going back and forth to the dealership ; I was told not to show up anymore or they would call the police.I didnt understand why I was being treated this way. Ive always paid my payments and I was very understanding about the issue and time needed to come to a conclusion. Now I see that my lack of knowledge and my age was being taken advantage of. Time has now past and now the XXXX XXXX is on my credit and I currently was in a wreck and now unable to get another vehicle, because of this incident.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account — Can't close your account
Company: Synovus Bank
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I have been paying off a card that have been unable to use or close. I received my First Progress Card in XX/XX/XXXX. I misplaced my card in XX/XX/XXXX after moving from my apartment, soI decided to close my account. I never made a single transaction. My credit utilization has gone up without me ever using the card. I do not remember the card number, except for the last four digits. This is because First Progress takes the monthly payment from the card itself, which is about 1/4th of the full credit limit, and not directly from my bank account, which makes the card virtually unusable if I want to remain under 30 % credit usage. I originally set up auto-payments to withdraw from my bank account to pay my card off. 

First Progress only allows contact to their representatives over the phone, so I called the number on their website. Nobody answered. I called multiple times over the course of XXXX, but still nothing. First Progress does not communicate back and forth with customers through email ; all the emails are " no reply. '' I stopped automatic withdrawals from my account, and I was charged a late fee, which dropped my credit score.

I have been paying off this unusable card that I am unable to close, with no reliable way of reaching out to First Progress.
