Product: Credit card or prepaid card

I received a late fee back in XX/XX/2020 on a past due balance of a few days. I paid the amount plus the interest charged but did not pay the late fee because I wanted the late fee waved. I requested the late fee to be waved in XXXX and again in XXXX but the automated services that Citibank forces you to use does not have authority to reverse this late charge. They provided with a phone number to call, which I did but that number is also automated and when you get to speak to a live person they apologize for the issue and try to forward me to somebody who can help reverse the charge. When they forward me, it goes to the automated attendant again and when I finally get to another live person the phone disconnects. This happened at least twice over the last few months. 

I ended up cancelling my credit card with them but now my open balance is over {$90.00} from additional late fees and interest on the open late fee from XXXX. I have been called every day for the last two months by the Citibank automated collection agency phone number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. After a few days, I blocked that number but it continues to call daily including Sundays. 

Below is a transcript of the online conversations that I had with the Citibank online messaging service. I do not know what else to do but it is clear that Citibank will not help me on their own without some type of other agency that pushes them to speak to me live.
