Consumer Narrative
Hello, I originally made an appointment for a manicure pedicure with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX. XXXX hours before the appointment I sent an email canceling my appointment on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX. Their policy states that if you cancel with a less than XXXX hrs notice, they only charge half of the total cost. The total was {$130.00} so they should have charged {$67.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX around XXXX I see a charge on my card for {$130.00}. I called the nail salon to see if they could rectify their mistake and they were very XXXX and said that my email went to spam folder so they didnt see it and they refuse to refund me the {$67.00} they unauthorizedly charged. They charged my card in XXXX which breaks their policy. When I put my card number I did it based on this policy so this nail salon is committing fraud. I contacted my bank CHIME Multiple times through phone calls and mail and after sending proof like my email canceling the appointment and a screenshot of the nail salon cancellation policy they denied my claim XXXX. I asked for documents stating why they denied my claim and all they sent me is an email with some illegible handwriting. I called chime again and the team member couldnt even read the explanation. Just said that it was denied and he had no more proof. The first email I sent to chime with proof for dispute process was on XX/XX/XXXX after finding out my claim was denied. The second email with the same proof was sent on XX/XX/XXXX I think it is unfair for the nail salon to break their own policy and charge my card for an unauthorized amount. It is also very upsetting that Chime hasnt been able to solve my problem after evidence from my side was provided, and they havent been able to provide me with any substantial evidence of why it was denied. Attached is the cancellation email I sent and a screenshot of the salon policy. Im also sending screenshot of my claim being denied twice and the investigation result sent by Chime. Thank you, XXXX XXXX
