They credited me back for one of the charges..only totaling {$8.00} made at XXXX 's in XXXX XXXX during the week I was out of town.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My mother XXXX XXXX has a Bank of America Credit Card she is XXXX years who lives in PA and there is a charge from a XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX New York which she did not make charge and I did not make this charge. I never received that card. I did received the replacement card XXXX. I am an authorized user and her power of attorney. I live in Florida and never received a card for the account ending XXXX which I informed the Bank of America Representative XX/XX/23 the day I saw a fraud charge pending on account. I called when it was just pending because I saw it on the online banking when making a payment. It was for 2 separate pending charges of {$240.00} The amount was changed and the bank let the charge go on account anyway when they changed amount to {$220.00}. I Had to call Bank of America again since amount was changed to add to claim the {$220.00} to claim which made claim {$710.00}. The representative said this happens they let it go on account anyway sometimes when amount changed. That is totally ridiculous. This is not us I am XXXX and live in Florida never had a XXXX card. my mom doesn't travel she is XXXX. Someone unauthorized used this card and we want the money refunded to her account. 
Who did this and why is Bank of America not refunding this because this is stealing. Who's card was presented the bank doesn't even know name on card or who did just say its a charge back. Not a charge back This is fraud, theft or a scam. Get more information from Hotel Camera video of person, Driver License presented etc. We are willing to file a police report. 
How can they say it was done with card so its your charge WAS NOT AUTHORIZED FRAUD I don't know but we are not paying for someone else to stay at a nice hotel when we called immediately and it was definitely not our charge.. They just let it go on the account I want proof of who did this because it wasn't us. We want our money refunded immediately. This is very concerning how would you let a charge on your account you didn't do with out proof. We need proof of who they say made charge copy of signed sales receipt and id used. GET more information because if someone is using our information we need to be informed. Do your job as a responsible Bank for your loyal customers. We will need to know if someone is using our information get the facts. Please this is fraud and you don't want this to happen to you. Thanks XXXX

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: PA

Complaint narrative:
Back in XX/XX/ someone opened a Macy 's Citi card and charged just over {$500.00} on it. I never opened this card, nor did I give anyone permission to open a card in my name. I called their fraud department, they said they marked it as fraudulent right away and I shouldn't worry about it. Three months later my credit score gets dinged and I see they filed a no payment against me. I called back in and they person I spoke with said they see where it was caught as fraud right away, but the person flagging it did so incorrectly, so they claim to have corrected this, but I just received another call XX/XX/ claiming I still owe this money. I am beyond over dealing with this shady company, nor should I have to as I have never done business with them in the first place. I don't know what else to do other than file a complaint before they ding my credit once again.

Company: Grain Technology, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have attempted to contact Grain Technology INC on multiple occasions. This company provided me with a product that was basically a secured card. I had a secured deposit at the beginning of the relationship and everything was managed withing a mobile app. 

Their app became unusable and I was unable to login and view my account and make payments for my liability. This caused an issue with my credit report and drastically impacted my score with late payments. 

They have kept my deposit and no liability is outstanding with their company and myself. The only problem is that I was not late because of my actions, it was due to a technology failure.
