Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the handling of a recent dispute I filed regarding a damaged product I received. 

After receiving the damaged item, I promptly contacted the merchant who I believed had sold the product to me. Despite multiple attempts to reach out to them, I did not receive any response from seller. 

Given the lack of resolution from the merchant, I escalated the issue by creating a dispute with Capital One. I followed the instructions provided and uploaded all the required documents, including proof of communication with the supposed seller. Despite providing all necessary information, my claim was refused.
