In XXXX XXXX, I received notification from a Macy 's Department Store Assest Protection Specialist in Flordia stating that XXXX individuals were found using my Macy 's credit card and charged {$1000.00}. I called Macy 's credt department ( managed through City Bank ) and reported that my credit card number had been stolen since the physical card was still in my wallet. They sent fraud documentation which was promptly completed and returned. I was told that the investigation could take up to a month and that I should not pay the bill on my Macy 's account. Further more, it was explained that once the investigation was complete and the fraud was confirmed the charges would be reversed. 
In XXXX, I called Macy 's credit and asked for an update into the investigation since my account was still showing as overdue. They stated they had no record of the investigation but saw the documentation and would escalate it to a supervisor and I would be contacted within the month for a resolution. 
In XXXX, I called Macy 's credit and asked for an update. They stated the investigation was still on going and to call back in two weeks but they would escalate it again. 
Meanwhile I began receiving calls from a collection agency regarding the outstanding balance of my Macy 's account. The collection agency stated that until Macy 's reversed the charges there was nothing they could do and would continue to call 4 times a day. 
XX/XX/XXXX, I called Macy 's to inquire about the status of the investigation. I was told that it had not been 2 weeks since my last call and I needed to call back. 
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I called to inquire about the status of my fraud investigation. I was told that they could not give me a time line for the investigation and I would have to call back in another month! 
I have provided Macy 's credit with their requested fraud documentation as well as the criminal investigation conducted by the County Court in Flordia. This has now hit my credit score and has the potential to effect my work through my damaged credit score. Due to the hour long wait on hold with Macy 's my ability to " patiently wait for the next operator '' is limited.
