Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
**Subject : ** Dispute Request for Refund of {$680.00} I am writing to formally dispute a transaction and request a refund of {$680.00} for an item I purchased via XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year>. The item was shipped from XXXX, and I was informed by the seller that there would be delays due to the holidays. After waiting the recommended XXXX days, and maintaining consistent communication with the seller, the item still had not arrived. I contacted the seller again, who confirmed that the item had not been able to be located, and an investigation with customs had to be open. The seller agreed to issue a refund but was unable to do so directly due to XXXX 's XXXX refund policy via the web. Consequently, I was advised by XXXX to dispute the charge with my bank. I submitted all supporting documentation to Citizens Bank, including the sellers willingness to refund the amount. However, my refund request has been delayed and I have not yet received the funds. This situation mirrors a previous issue I had with Citizens Bank regarding an ATM deposit, where the bank initially denied my request despite evidence of an ATM malfunction. I believe the handling of these disputes has been unfair and reflects a concerning pattern of delayed refunds, which negatively impacts me as a customer. I request that Citizens Bank promptly issue my refund of {$680.00}. I have provided all necessary documentation and evidence to support my claim. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and hope it can be resolved quickly.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Complaint narrative:
The company requires you to provide photos of your identification when applying for credit. They send you a link to an interface where you are supposed to click on a button to activate your phone 's camera. However, the verification screen they provide does not fit in my phone 's display, and it does not allow me to scroll down to click the button. This is a XXXX problem reflective of poor XXXX design. The bigger problem being they do not provide any alternate means for me to provide identification verification. This, to me, seems to be a violation of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. Because I don't possess a smart phone, they won't provide me access to apply for their credit offerings.

I can only assume that I will get the same response I have for the past to two years so I legal proceedings will began as well.
