Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I made 3 purchases in XXXX of XXXX for XXXX XXXX Our trip occured in XX/XX/XXXX- XX/XX/XXXX. We had issues with the hotel and overbookings, which I began a dispute with Citi on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I was immediately given provisional credits. The merchant later responded with incorrect information stating that a refund of a prior purchase was an actual credit for the 3 disputes that I started. This caused for my conditional credits to be removed.

I then had to make multiple calls, 4-5 calls to citi and multiple emails to correct the information on the dispute and that the merchant was not being truthful. Ultimately this led to the disputed charges being live on my account for the XXXX of XXXX. The total amount being disputed is {$7200.00}. This amount caused for interest charges on my XXXX statement to exceed {$300.00} for the month. 

I paid this interest. 

In the following month, after the dispute team got XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, they redid the dispute and credited back my account in the month of XXXX, reducing my balance by {$7200.00}. 

I have called in repeatedly and asked them to review the interest charges for XXXX and credit me back the incorrect interest charges. 

They have stated there is nothing they can do unless this was a banking error, which I told them it was. 

The dispute is still ongoing, even though I opened it on XX/XX/XXXX, and they are now giving this merchant til XX/XX/XXXX to respond once again. That is 5 months for a dispute and well outside the normal XXXX.
