Consumer Narrative
I intended to buy one set of 2 of tickets to a football game from XXXX but received a security error message so tried buying 2 other tix. The same message came up and I moved to a different vendor only to receive the same message. I can only assume this was an issue with my bankncatd from Chime. However then all 3 charges showed up on my checking account. Now logically who would buy 3 sets of 2 tickets all in separate sections on the secondary market which in inflated to begin with. To be clear if i were going with XXXX others there are grouping of 6 tix available together. XXXX and the other vendor blew me off so i disouted the charges. XXXX said to sell the tix on their site- with their incredibly high fees and having to price significantly lower why should i have to take a financial loss that my bank wS clearly responsible fir as the error out was the same every time. I disluted the charges on the least exoenzive set of tickets with XXXX ans the orher vendor through my bank- Chime. They did a one day investigation and denied this. The only was to realistically investigate is to sync my ohine to see its history. They did not do any of that. They did nothing but maybe contact XXXX who of course will say rhis is a valid transaction but as i am just taking my Mom, why would i spend an extra {$900.00} on two tickets. Did Chime actually look into who I am going with? No they did nothing but call XXXX and deny the dispute. There izs no appeals process or way to speak with the investigating agent to explain the situation- only a call center in a different country sho could not accurately document what happened. XXXX guarantees my transactions and i want my money back not extra tic soread around the stadium that i have no use for. This shouldnbe an easy thing to resolve- give me my money back for these tickets so XXXX XXXX and the other vendor can legitimately sell their tickets. This did not happen. Chime did not investigate- they did not contact me to understand the issue and i am out over $ XXXX. I want my money returned to me immediately I ask how a detailed investigation could be done in less than one business day without checking my phone history with their internal forensic IT team reaching out to mirror my phone where these purchases were made from? No pin code was needed or asked for.
