Consumer Narrative
XX/XX/2022 I signed up for a 30 day free trial with XXXX and filled out a line of credit with Citizens One. I was provided a tablet by the sales rep to fill out my information and saw that the equipment was a total of XXXX and that I did not have an interest rate on the line of credit. I have tried to cancel my free period trial with XXXX and have received the run around, so I got in contact with Citizens One to let them know I would like to close out my account due to the fact that I do not have all of my equipment as promised, and am within my 30 day trial. I was advised I can not close my account unless XXXX sends a notification to CitizensOne of cancellation, where XXXX states I must pay off the amount of equipment in full in order to terminate services with XXXX. I asked them if they were tied in with XXXX and the representative stated that they were not, that they were just responsible for collecting payment on the equipment. I received an email from CitizensOne with my balance, minimum payment and due date. The amount is XXXX more than what I signed off on initially. I do not know why there is added money due to the fact that I can not see what exactly I am being billed for on their site rather than just a total amount. Upon further request it appears as the extra XXXX is coming from an installation fee, that I was not supposed to be charged, and I did not agree to that amount when putting a line of credit in. This was tacked on after the fact, as well as it is an open line of credit for XXXX which is also not what I put in for or agreed to. I agreed to a XXXX line of credit. I did not sign up for a line of credit through CitizensOne for XXXX.
