CitiCards is not Protecting Consumers from FraudAfter exhausting all avenues with Citi and spending a ridiculous amount of my time, I am turning to CFPB to file a formal complaint against Citi for failing to protect their consumers from fraudulent and unauthorized charges to consumer credit cards. 

First, I have maintained a long-term FICO credit rating above XXXX, so I am well respected among the credit and banking industries and this is not a claim without merit. 

Secondly, I have had a CitiCard fraud-proof credit card for more than 15 years in good standing. By fraud-proof, I mean this card is supposed to be guaranteed against fraudulent and unauthorized charges. It has no magnetic strip on the back, no raised account number or letters on the front of the card, and I only use it for internet type purchases. 

History : The XXXX Report or ( XXXX XXXX or other names they go by ) fraudulently and without authorization charged my credit card number they had on file since last year for {$490.00} on XXXX/XXXX/15. 
CitiCards sent me an alert email on XXXX letting me know a large charge had just been placed. 
I contacted XXXX the very same day, XXXX/XXXX/15, asking them to remove the unauthorized charge. 
On XXXX/XXXX/15, XXXX sent an email refusing to remove the charge. 
Since then, XXXX has refused to answer phone numbers or respond to numerous email requests. 

Complaint:1. CitiCards handled this claim as a dispute vs. and unauthorized or fraudulent charge. 
2. CitiCards did not honor my request to remove the unauthorized charge and the Citi investigator incorrectly claimed there were conflicting statements, which means they either did not spend the time to read the responses in their entirety, did not feel it was worth their time, or they just misinterpreted them. 
3. There is no way to counter the Citi investigator 's response as Citi 's first level call center personnel can not acknowledge the investigator made a mistake or did not perform due-diligence in resolving this matter. They claimed it was an irreversible decision. 
4. CitiCards did not protect me from the either fraudulent or unauthorized chare on my account.
