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: NJ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I made a purchase for a treatment from XXXX using my Citibank credit card, which at the time ended in XXXX ( I have since replaced the card, and the new number ends in XXXX ). The product turned out to be significantly unsatisfactory and did not live up to its advertisements. 

I reached out to XXXX regarding this issue, and on XX/XX/XXXX, they agreed to issue a full refund, as confirmed by an email attachment. 

Unfortunately, XXXX filed for bankruptcy shortly thereafter, leaving me unable to contact them regarding the refund. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, I approached Citibank to dispute the charge and submitted all required documentation. Initially, a Citibank representative informed me that a message had been sent to the merchant, and if there was no response within 45 days, I would automatically receive a full refund via a chargeback. However, three months have passed, and I have not yet received the refund. Despite multiple follow-ups with Citibank, I've been given different reasons for the delay each time, further postponing the resolution. 

I request that Citibank issue the chargeback immediately and settle the dispute. 

The case number for dispute i have with Citi is XXXX.

Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Equifax has failed to conduct a timely investigation, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), regarding my dispute. Despite multiple requests and attempts, Equifax has not fulfilled its obligation to conduct a thorough investigation into the inaccuracies on my consumer report. Instead, they have repeatedly restarted the investigation process without providing the method of verification or the results of their inquiries. This prolonged delay and disregard for FCRA guidelines constitute fraudulent behavior and demonstrate non-compliance with consumer protection laws. Additionally, Equifaxs unauthorized furnishing of my consumer report to third parties without my consent and without permissible purposes further exacerbates the situation. I demand immediate action to rectify these violations and ensure compliance with FCRA regulations.

He told me that XXXX was trying to access my bank account to send money to his XXXX account and that he could step me through ways to cancel the payments.

I was able to work with XXXX XXXX XXXX to stop payment on all transactions, but Venmo doesn't accept stop payments. They send the money to the person up front and then want me to reimburse them. They have locked my account and said they will send me to a collection agency if I don't pay the XXXX I owe them. I don't understand, with the raise in scams, why this is their practice. I tried to block XXXX XXXX and report him, but Venmo has no easy way to speak to someone if you have an issue.

Complaint narrative:
I recieved notification that someone had fraudulantly tried to apply for credit in my name with netcreditXXXX I called them and advised that it was fraudulant and requested that they both deactive my account and remove the inquiry. They did deactivate my account, but refused to remove the inquiry without first getting a police report. This is despite the fact that there are so many obvious reasons this was a fraudulent attempt ( The application used old legal name I no longer use since legally changing my name, used an address I have not lived in for almost a decade, and there is an existing fraud alert with the credit reporting companies. ). 

As a consumer I don't have time to take off work to go file a police report that tells them what I have already shown them. This is anti-consumer to to refuse to investigate a fraud claim without putting a burden on the consumer.
