Well...
1. I started this dispute when Best Buy Reward Zone Mastercard was under Capital One.
2. C1 did everything possible to fight/demand proof.
3. They ended up NOT CREDITING
ANYTHING.
4. My credit has been $500 overlimit ever since ,and, therefore, credit ruined. Two months late now. (Not paying until resolved in my favor.)
5. Fast-forward to more than two MONTHS later. Last week, on Day 1 of Citi ownership, September 9th, I RE-dispute ALL unauthorized charges, even more than originally. I call them today.. Sure enough, they never received my faxed police report.
I faced it four times. To two different numbers, possibly three.
The Citi lady thanked me for faxing it in, saying "It helps but it is not required." I also typed a 1-page letter explaining situation.
She said it could take up to 30 days and "Is in final stages," then said "A couple of weeks," then said "An investigator is looking at it now."
The last time was in 2008, I had $344 refunded to RushCard. Took a full 90 days. On Day 91, the money came back. I thought I would never see it again.
So, of course.. I spend my time with the cars. Next Volvo will not be killed by me. A promise.
