Consumer complaint received 2024-01-04 00:00:00
Product: Credit 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: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My credit card was overcharged by a restaurant ( XXXX XXXX ). When I discovered this, I asked for a refund and the merchant provided it. The merchant even sent me a screen shot, showing that the refund had been processed with XXXX : the authorized amount was {$50.00} less than what had originally been captured. ( Should actually have been {$64.00}, including tax and tip, but that is a secondary complaint. ) Since the refund did not post to my credit card, I filed a claim with BofA and provided all the required information. BofA initially posted a credit of {$64.00} to my account ; later they reversed it, and sent a letter asking for more information. I called BofA and pointed out that I had already provided the requested information ( screen shot incl. XXXX  confirmation number for the refund ) ; they agreed, said that the charge had been reversed in error, and offered to escalate/accelerate my claim to have it resolved. 

However, three weeks later BofA sent a letter stating that my claim was denied, after all. I called them again to complain, pointed to the screen shot with all the info they needed. BofA said that it was ultimately XXXXXXXX XXXX decision -- even though their denial letter says that BofA made the decision. I escalated to a manager, who held the line. They both declined to provide evidence that they had actually sought the refund from XXXX, even though I had provided them with a XXXX confirmation code to do so. 

I can not tell if this is a one-off misjudgment on their part ; BofA insists that it is standard practice. If so, it would suggest that the bank and credit card company have a practice in place that prevents customers from collecting their refund, even after the merchant provides confirmation from the credit card company.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 Goldman Sachs / Apple Card received a check for {$8200.00}. That check was rejected by my bank for " missing Endorsement ''. The balance in the account was more than sufficient to clear the check. 

On XX/XX/2023 I made an online payment for {$820000.00} because I did not want to incur a late payment. XX/XX/XXXX was the due date for the payment. 

On XX/XX/2023 Goldman Sachs / Apple Card resubmitted the check for deposit to their XXXX account and it cleared. 

Goldman Sachs / Apple Card was paid by online payment of {$8200.00} and check payment of {$8200.00}. I have shown proof via text messaging and email to Goldman Sachs / Apple Card.

When I clicked deeper in to the file it appears to be a debt collector on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX. I do not nor have I ever used XXXX XXXX XXXX for any of my business or communications. I did not originate this debt. Last year I faced a similar problem with the same issues ( XXXX XXXX XXXX collection ) I filed a police report in XXXX XXXX Georgia.
