Consumer Narrative
Best Buy/ CitiBank XXXX purchased a home theater system from Best Buy with a Citbank/Bestbuy card . When they came to my home to install the equipment there were items that were broken. They said they would replace them and they didn't so I asked them to come pick up the equipment. They picked up everything and I owed nothing nor did I purchase anything else with this card. I've disputed this several times and they keep passing this issue off to everyone else. I've went to the place I purchased this system and they said they can't do anything to help with the situation. I contacted the Law office they deferred it to and explained the situation. That was over a year ago and they still didn't report it correctly nor can I get anyone to respond to when I call. I don't owe this debt and it's affecting my livelihood. I'm a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with a fixed income. This account reporting on my credit report is damaging to the things that I'm trying to accomplish
