Consumer Narrative
On XXXX I purchased 2 flights from XXXX XXXX which totaled in the amount XXXX for the two tickets. The purchase was approved since I had more than enough funds in my checking account, and they naturally put a hold on the XXXX until the funds were taken out, although it immediately affects your available reflects on your available balance. XXXX actually took out the funds, the transaction for the 2 flights tickets posted as XXXX separate transaction $ of XXXX, the hold for the XXXX still as a pending transaction. According to XXXX customer service there's nothing they can do that's it's on the bank to released the hold since the money for the flight clearly came out of my checking account. Capital one saids that's there's nothing their can do that's it's on the merchant. Going back and forth between the two entities the message was that there was nothing they can do .... Those XXXX pending transaction that will take 4 business days to post XX/XX/XXXX ( after XXXX ), send my checking account available balance on the negatives, and has force me to live my life using credit until the XXXX pending transaction falls off my checking account. As ordinary I shouldn't be held responsible, and be force to live on credit possible negatively affecting my credit because capital one does not want to removed that pending transaction which I already paid for. In another word, as of this moment the reality is that I've been charged twice since the pending transaction is a charged. It doesn't make sense, that two giant companies can take my hard earned money, and leave me with an overdrawn account, living on credit, effecting my credit scores while they both do nothing. I spent a couple hours doing research and this is an issue common which people has been dealing for over half a decade and is unacceptable. I should be reimbursed every dollar I'm forced to used out my credit card.
