Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I made a {$1000.00} retainer payment on XX/XX/XXXX for an appraisal from a company named XXXX XXXX XXXX. Per Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice ( USPAP ) adopted by Congress in 1989, this entails reporting the findings and/value. I have not received an such report or information of any sort. 

In XXXX of XXXX, I notified Capital One that I wished to dispute the {$1000.00} charge as I never received any product or service. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Capital One acknowledging they had credited my account during the investigation. XXXX XXXX XXXX responded. I submitted answers to his responses. On XX/XX/XXXX, Capital One notified me via mail that they had declined my dispute and billed me {$1000.00} again. 

Subsequently, I spoke with a Capital One representative over the phone. He voiced Capital One had sided with XXXX XXXX XXXX because I made the payment unconditionally. My contract reads " For services rendered by us, you unconditionally agree to pay ... '' I am disputing that services were rendered by the vendor, so that second part of this sentence requiting payment is not valid. Despite use of the word unconditionally, the contract sentence has a condition, specifically services have to be rendered. Yes I can agree to unconditionally pay for a XXXX, but it still depends on my receiving a XXXX. I have no evidence of any service being provided and have not seen any appraisal. Capital One does not seem to understand the payment without receiving product or service equates to a scam. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX also answers that he has financial dispute with a third party that I work with called XXXX XXXX XXXX. In his answers, he provides an email to this third party detailing his dispute. I don't feel I need to get involved in this and certainly should not be responsible for a dispute between him and a company not party to the agreement. The signed agreement is only between me and the vendor. His account status with another company not party to the agreement is not of my concern. Capital One wants me to address this. Why is Capital One holding me responsible for another company? 

In the end, the representative says they will not credit my account unless the merchant issues a credit because they have no way of recovering the {$1000.00}. I don't think whether Capital One will be made whole is how to fairly decide the outcome of a dispute process. 

To summarize, I entered into an agreement to pay vendor for an appraisal. I did not receive an appraisal. Capital One is aware of this and sides against my dispute for reason above as explained to me.
