Narrative (may be redacted).

XXXX XXXX, 2015 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX XXXX, HI. XXXX, XXXX XXXX Re : My A/C # XXXXDear Sir, I am sorry for not responding earlier to your XXXX fictitious credit card bill charges of XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX 2015 as I was medically incapacitated. I had XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and was XXXX for a week in XXXX for XXXX.
The XX/XX/XXXX statement shows a {$12.00} charge for an XXXX XXXX. The XX/XX/XXXX statement shows the very same charge again of {$12.00} for XXXX XXXX. Added to that is an interest charge of {$1.00} for a total due balance of {$27.00}.
I did not incur these XXXX debts and have never purchased anything for {$12.00}. This is the handy work of the criminal enterprise known as XXXX. As its credit card company, you are also now its accomplice. The only XXXX items that I purchased at separate times recently were XXXX generic stereo earphones. XXXX was on sale for {$6.00} and the other was on sale for {$4.00}. I paid for these XXXX items with my accumulated " XXXX Super points ''. I currently have have a total of XXXX or {$24.00} left. Now, please tell me why I would chose to pay for these XXXX items via my credit card when I have the Super points to use? Which idiot would do that? But XXXX has devised a way to double dip for the same purchased item : Once via the Super points at the sale price and once again via the credit card at its full undiscounted price which I presume was {$12.00}.
Please allow me to tell you how they get to XXXX from their customers twice : once from deducting the purchase price from your Super Points and again by sending a bill to the credit card company for the full undiscounted price for the same item. XXXX has devised a very clever way to achieve that : When you purchase an item intended to be paid with the Super Points, the " Payment Option Page '' prior to check out does not include the option to pay with your Super Points as a payment option. Imagine that. But in order to proceed to checkout, you must give them a credit card number, including the " secret number '' on the back of the card. When I emailed XXXX asking them why do you need my credit card number since I intend to use my Super points, they answered that it 's for security reasons. What security is that? They know exactly how many Super Points I have and whether I can pay for the merchandise via this method. Only at the very last page of the " check out " process, there is a small window at the very bottom to indicate payment with Super Points. They then deduct the discounted purchase price from your Super points and simultaneously send a bill to XXXX card company for the full " undiscounted price '' of the item. This is the most blatant type of fraud and thievery.
I am requesting, in closing, that you reverse the charges totaling {$27.00} and send me a statement reflecting a zero balance due.
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
