Consumer Narrative
I stayed overnight at XXXX XXXX located in XXXX Maryland on wednesday, XX/XX/2022. During this day I was charged a total of {$330.00} for the stay with another {$30.00} for an incidental fee. After check out and after the balance was settled with the hotel, a pending transaction of money they were holding from me in the amount of {$420.00} and XXXX cents was held under the explanation that there is a 20 % hold on service industries in the state of Maryland. I had never in the recent past had this experience for any hotel stay that I have completed. Upon realization of this error, I contacted US Bank and XXXX services more than XXXX times to try and straighten the matter out because once they deducted those fees I had no money left for anything, including the celebration of my daughter 's graduation from high school. I spoke at length with one of the US Bank representatives by the name of XXXX who was very agitated and became emotional when I asked for the return of of my money. In addition, he refused to continue to entertain or discuss the matter stating that he felt angered by how he was being addressed., Another representative who claimed that he was a supervisor repeatedly stated that I had to wait 20 days before my funds would be returned to me. I explained to him that I had not authorized these funds to be withheld and I wanted them to be refunded immediately. On more than five rounds of repeating this statement, he refused to to refund money that were owed to me. I further explain to him that I could not be charged I could not be held to wait 20 days when I had never withdrawn or charged {$420.00} on my card or account. After multiple XXXX hours of debating and arguing about funds that they are holding which belong to me, I exper the explain to representative XXXX that I would file a complaint against the company. To no avail, he did not relent. When I explained to the representative at XXXX XXXX that they needed to settle all charges for my hotel stay, I was informed by the front desk manager that all funds have been settled and that {$30.00} would be returned to me in 7 to 10 business days. To this effect, it it appears that I was charged {$420.00} for services unaware and unknown to me. When I inquired both at the bank and through the hotel, neither of them could explain what the charge was for. I am imploring you to get involved and force them to return my funds. Additionally there was another charge for {$120.00} which was also pending from the same week of charges outstanding for a hotel stay. This has not been the case previously, and I am expecting a full return of my funds.
