Consumer complaint received 2023-09-14 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
An unauthorized purchase was performed at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2023 for {$500.00} with my Citi credit card account. 
The charge was disputed, and the bank ruled against me. The bank stated that I participated in the transaction. 

The bank stated that the card used during the transaction was a card ending in XXXX, belonging to my wife. My wife is an authorized user ( has an " additional card '' ) of my citi account. 
Citi asked me to confirm that the card was in our ( me and my wife ) possession. 
Citi asserted that the card was present, and that the " chip '' was used to complete the purchase. Citi claims the chips can not be duplicated. Hence they conclude that we participated in the transaction, and ruled against me. 

I contacted Citi via phone on XX/XX/XXXX, and they confirmed that the extent of their investigation was that the " chip '' was used, and that those can not be duplicated. 
Citi apparently decides to routinely ignore the fact that there are known attacks against EMV ( a.k.a. chips ) and immediately rule against the consumer. 
I don't have any sort of proof as to the time of this writing - that the transaction was indeed EMV-based. 

We had possesion of the card ending in XXXX, and we ( my wife and I ) were both hiking up a mountain at the time we received texts from the bank asking for confirmation for the transaction regarding this complaint. 

Makes me wonder how often this happens, and how much money Citi is keeping from the customers. This due to Citi immediately ruling against the consumer whenever the disputes are about *supposedly* EMV-based transactions XXXX

I then called Visa Vanilla back and spoke with XXXX and she would not give me my case number and said that I would have to wait 15 MORE days. I asked to speak with a Supervisor or Manager and she hung up on me. I called back and was put on Hold and they never picked up. They left me on hold for over an hour. They will not give me any information. I think that they think that I am going to go away. I want my money so I can give my son his XXXX present.
