Sir/Ma'am, Citibank claims to have paid the vendor - XXXX ( a business based out of XXXX XXXX , Florida, XXXX XXXX XXXX, Contact : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ), {$980.00} on my behalf through my credit card account in XXXX 2015. 

They paid the vendor initially through my credit card account ending with XXXX, then reversed the amount when I disputed it. Then they closed the account ending with XXXX and provided me a new card ending with XXXX. 

Subsequently, they charged the full amount of {$980.00} back to the account ending with XXXX. 

The vendor who owes me a refund of the full amount ( {$980.00} ), claims that Citi Card never paid them the second time after reversing the charge the first time. I have been calling up Citi Card customer service for the past 5 months to get proof of payment made to the vendor so that I can submit the proof with the vendor and receive my full refund. I have already paid Citi Cards as part of my monthly payment. 

Citi bank refuses to provide any sort of proof. They keep hoodwinking me after making me jump from one person to another and making me wait on the line for 45 minutes to one hour every time I call. They claim that they will email the proof to my email address and they never send it. And they refuse to stay on the line until I receive the email. They promise me that someone will call me back and no one does. 

It 's been five months and I have no clue where my money is ( {$980.00} ). 

Citi bank tells me it is with the vendor 's holding bank ( XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and the vendor, XXXX, tells me their bank never received the payment from Citi. 

I have, frustratingly, been patient with both the vendor and Citi bank for the last 5 months and I 'm coming to you as a last resort. 

If Citi bank can provide me or the vendor with proof of payment, then I can receive the refund from the vendor. 

The vendor also asked me to ask Citi bank to open a formal investigation with their compliance department but Citi refuses to do so. 

They even refuse to provide me with a case number and I have to explain the situation every time I call to every person that my call is transferred to. 

They have harassed me for the last 5 months and have not been straight forward or helpful. 
Thanks & RegardsI demand that Citi resolve this issue immediately and help me in getting my money ( {$980.00} ) either through a refund from the vendor or recompensating me directly, depending on which party has my money.
