Complaint narrative:
I purchased a number of products from Ashley. Some were delivered. Some were not. 
1. I disputed a {$700.00} charge on my XXXX XXXX from Ashley. XXXX approved my dispute. Ashley unilaterally charged the amount that XXXX credited to the store credit card without my authorization or signature. 
2. I did not receive several items that i ordered, specifically a queen bed and a sofa table. Ashley will not send an itemized receipt to show what i was charged for. 
3. I purchased a number of new mattresses from Ashely and Ashely agreed to remove the old mattresses. Instead of removing the old mattresses, Ashely threw the mattresses in an already full dumpster on my property. the garbage man would not remove the dumpster until the mattresses were unloaded into a new dumpster. The charge for the new dumpster was {$700.00}. 
4. I called and emailed Ashley numerous times with little results. Ashley promised to refund the {$700.00} and pay for the dumpster but never did. Here are some of Ashley 's communications : A.
