Credit card· Problem with a purchase shown on your statementAR
I purchased a product on XXXX and used XXXX to complete the transaction. The delivery never occured and instead was delivered to someone else. The proof of delivery indicates someone else signed for my package and I never received it. XXXX denied my claim and states it was delivered, XXXX also claims it was delivered. My bank, navy federal, violated the terms and conditions of our agreement and falsely filled out my chargeback form indicating " I acknowledged receipt '' I did not acknowledge receipt and they have refused my appeal for a chargeback.
