Company: Mercedes Benz Financial Services

Complaint narrative:
This is in regards to MBFS Mercedes Benz Financial Services. I leased a Mercedes and made all payments. When it was time to turn the car in, the car was inspected. The inspector found a rubber mark on the number which was removed in front of him and a tire which he retracted. At the time of pickup they only had one key because I could not locate the spare. I later drove to the dealership and dropped it off. I was told my the locations manager that he would take care of the issue and not to worry.

Now that I am wanting to buy a Mercedes it came to mind that they had done me so wrong. I will forgive them and still buy a mercedes but when I found out that this happened, I was furious. This is a mistake on MBFS part and I would like this to be taken care of. Please look at the payment history and my record with them. I was not ever shown any charges or fees once I left. I was told that the balance is XXXX and not to worry. This is a mistake.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding an unresolved incident involving my account, which was compromised on XX/XX/XXXX. While I was out of the country, Citibank allowed an authorized wire transfer XXXX. I received an email that asked for transfer which I never approved and I immediately called to report the fraud. During that call, a case was opened, and I was advised to follow up the next day. Unfortunately, I did not receive any communication from Citi Bank until my return to the US, at which point I discovered that my case had been denied and closed without any prior notification or explanation. I attempted to reopen the case but was denied again.would like to emphasize that i Notified Citibank within a few hours of the fraudulent transaction, yet there has been a lack of timely follow-up and resolution. The incident involved a transfer of XXXX to a suspected fraudulent account, which was executed without my consent. I immediately reported this transaction to your customer service team, expecting prompt action to halt the transfer and investigate the matter. To my dismay, it appears that there has been insufficient follow-up on Citibank, particularly in coordination with XXXX XXXX , to ensure that the fraud was addressed in a timely manner. This lack of urgency raises concerns about the accountability of Citibank institution in protecting customers against such threats. Also, I never accepted the Citibank email confirmation via email and that was Citibank shortcoming to bypass their own security verification failure. I urge you to take immediate action to investigate this matter thoroughly and provide me with updates on the steps being taken to recover the funds and prevent future incidents. It is crucial that your bank takes responsibility for this oversight and enhances its protocols for handling fraudulent transactions. I look forward to your prompt response regarding this serious issue. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
