Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
My Mastercard from Citibank was charged {$1300.00} on XX/XX/year> by a merchant I have never heard of or done business with. On XX/XX/year>, I notified Citibank of the error. 
I have called them numerous times and gotten nothing but denials and non-answers to my requests for credit. 
I called the merchant who charged my card on XX/XX/year>. They said the charge could not be theirs as they do not accept credit cards! They also told me that a number of people have called them saying they had the same problem I do! 
I called the credit card company with this information. They said I should send an email with this information to their Security Service Manager which i did on XX/XX/year>. Citibank is still denying me a credit! 
Help me please. This is a sizable amount of fraud by someone and Citibank is not honoring their commitment to protect me from fraud. 
Thank you

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The conspicuous lack of concrete evidence substantiating its reliability, coupled with the circulation of unverified information, constitutes a flagrant violation of the statutory provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). Such regulatory non-compliance is not merely disconcerting but also vexing, considering the paramount importance of adherence to legal mandates. Consequently, I emphatically endorse the prompt deletion of this account in alignment with the stipulated regulations, unless credible evidence is promptly furnished to affirm its authenticity. The failure to promptly rectify this matter further compounds the exasperation stemming from the disregard for legal protocols.
