Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Banking errors

Complaint:
This complaint concerns Citibank, but started with an online scam, an email I received on Friday, XXXX XXXX, 2022 purportedly from XXXX XXXX falsely charging me for a subscription renewal. Unfortunately I called the number on the email and was connected supposedly to their customer support rep, who agreed to refund the money. To do so he persuaded me to allow him to access my computer. A manipulated " error '' omitted the. in the refund amount, so that it came out to be thousands, not hundreds of dollars, which somehow did appear my screen as a credit to my checking account. Now of course I felt guilty at having these thousands which were really not mine, and was persuaded to " return '' that extra money via an international wire transfer to a XXXX XXXX XXXX. ( The " rep '' said company XXXX was in XXXX XXXX. ) After a couple of unsuccessful attempts to access my Citi account online, I was finally able to do so, and with the scammer still on the phone with me, I initiated the transfer. It went through immediately without a hitch. 

Coming to my senses a couple of hours later -- it was now past XXXX -- I called Citibank customer service XXXX Their rep recognized this particular scam, said my account showed the debit ( but not the supposed credit ) but that that did not mean the funds had yet been released to the account owner, put a hold on my accounts, and " escalated '' the report to their wire fraud department. The rub : There is NO ONE in that fraud department on the weekend ; I could not reach them by phone until Monday XXXX By Monday I am told that yes, the money has now been released from the XXXX XXXX XXXX  to the account holder. And that Citi has sent a message to the XXXX XXXX XXXX, which will ask that the account holder [ fraudster! ] return the money. Citi says the matter is under investigation and could take up to 90 days. I am astonished and outraged that Citi allowed the transfer to go through in the first place, from a longtime customer who has NEVER made a wire transfer, much less an international one, much less in such a huge amount. No red flags? They do not seem to have safeguards in place to protect their customers. 

I have filed reports with the XXXX XXXX police, the FBI, and the FTC. I emailed the Citi fraud department on XXXX XXXX ( because nobody could connect me with an actual person ) outlining the case and my frustrations with their actions ( or lack of same ), and asking for an explanation for the delay in funding my new accounts from the old ones. ( I had been given different reasons on the phone from different reps, and had been advised to just go to my local branch, which I could not do and which, it turns out, would not have solved the problem. ) To date I have had no response to my email.

Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
I recently discovered that there were a 4 consecutive month of unknown and unauthorized transactions in my chase checking account. I reported to Chase and received a provisional credit, but finally denied of it. Their reasons were have missed a reporting window of 60days. Any suspicious transactions must be reported in 60 days or lose the money. Secondly, they said, the transaction has contained correct spelling of my name that they construe that I authorized (! ). This is a bizarre excuse from them. Of course, any fraudster would try to create a transaction as real/accurate as possible. Chase denied of issuing credits. I am not disappointed about Chase fraud protection practice that shift the burden on the customers. In fact, most of credit card companies have measures to recourse fraudulent transactions in effortless manner these days. Chase doesn't want to follow this procedure on my checking account.

Complaint:
I opened my checking and savings account on XX/XX/18 using a link on the Citi website promising a bonus of {$400.00} if I would deposit {$15000.00} into my checking account and keep it there for 60 days. According to the terms of the offer, the {$400.00} bonus would be paid out within 90 days after the 60 day time requirement was met. That 90 day deadline is XX/XX/18, and the bonus was not paid within the promised timeline. 

I'm attaching the transcript of an online chat I had with one of Citi 's representative 's which confirms the facts that I met the terms of the offer, the dates involved, and the bonus hasn't been paid yet.

Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I have an account with XXXX  XXXX ( XXXX credit card ). Payment is due on the XXXX of every month. This month I made a full payment of the account balance on XX/XX/2019. The payment posted on XX/XX/2019. However, the bank reported a balance of {$35.00} on my credit. I called customer service, I was advised to mail or fax my credit statement along with my credit report for correction. 

To my dismay, the bank has made another report on my credit, reporting another more higher balance on my account. These two reports are within the same month just days apart.This has affected my credit score drastically. 

I believe the bank has intentionally decided to hurt my credit because I initiated a dispute with equifax.

Complaint:
In XXXX I received a XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX. Sometime in XXXX, I was expected to repay this loan. I contacted XXXX XXXX  and informed them of my being totally XXXX and unable to repay this loan. But I was going through the process to have the Government repay this loan on my behalf, through XXXX. 
I was ultimately determined to be 100 % XXXX and this loan was paid off by XXXX. 
( See Enclosed ). 
Just recently I applied for a Mortgage loan. And to my surprise, on my Credit Report was this XXXX XXXX  XXXX being in COLLECTIONS... 
I contacted XXXX, and was informed by them that this loan had been paid off in XXXX. 
Thus, after further review of my Credit Report, I found that ALL OF MY STUDENT LOANS were indeed paid off through XXXX. And the only negative on my reports is this XXXX issue. 
It seems that XXXX XXXX  has taken the issue that whether or not a student is XXXX or not. If they do not personally repay their loan, XXXX will make sure their credit is destroyed for the ensuing future. This is an unfair practice implemented by this college, If a person is deemed XXXX, they should not be penalized for that XXXX. 
Al of the other student loans treated this writer fairly and the credit reporting for these loans are not reported negatively, as XXXX should not be allowed to treat this writer any differently for my XXXX.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I contacted the company in XX/XX/2018 to notify them that this was not my debt. I spoke to XXXX who notified me that the SSN on the account did not match my SSN. I proceeded to ask how they could legally report this on my credit when it is not my debt. She asked me to send her a copy of my credit report showing that the debt is on there which I did. I called 2 weeks later to confirm receipt and she confirmed that they had received it and the dispute was processing. I called another week later and she stated that it was still processing and she had no idea how long it would take. I requested a copy of any information that she has to prove that the debt is mine yet I haven't received anything. I waited a month and called again and asked for a manager who basically said whoever I spoke to last shouldn't have spoke to me because the SSN on the account isn't mine. I explained to her that although it isn't mine it is still illegally reporting on my credit report and I am trying to buy a house. She said something was sent yesterday to me ( how coincidental ) about the debt. No one it helping me but they all agree that the SSN on the account is not mine and neither is the debt. The amount of the debt is only {$140.00}, if it were mine I'd pay it.

State: VA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Impersonated attorney, law enforcement, or government official

Complaint:
TENGALIA & HUNT used deceptive practices and false information to get the CFPB to close a previous complaint without a resolution.

They claim they are legal representation of the original creditor but failed to send me any documentation of such. They only sent me a letter saying they're a debt collector regarding the account.

The CFPB did not require them to provide written documentation to provide they advised me they are representing the original creditor in the ongoing legal matter with the original creditor. 

If they are, in fact, the legal representation of the original creditor they sent me a letter stating they are a " debt collector '' dated XXXX XXXX about the account and alleged debt and made no mention as legal representation. They failed to send a legal response to the Affidavit of Truth sent to the original creditor on XXXX XXXX nor the Affidavit Non Response notice dated XXXX XXXX. So in fact, they are a debt collector as I have no written proof from TENGALIA & HUNT stating otherwise.

I am requesting the Ombudsman office handle this complaint and DO NOT CLOSE IT STATING IT WAS PREVIOUSLY RESOLVED. THE ISSUE IS ONGOING AND NOT PREVIOUSLY RESOLVED BY THE CFPB.

Sub-issue: Problem lowering your monthly payments

Complaint:
Over the past year or two, I have been set up on a lower payment plan from Navient, taking the amount down from around {$1300.00} to around {$700.00}. I recently in XX/XX/XXXX called on XX/XX/XXXX to renew this lower payment. Out of nowhere I was told that the procedure had changed, which I was not told about prior to this call. I was told to call in XX/XX/XXXX before the payment date of XX/XX/XXXX to renew for the following payment month. The lower payment used to be based on solely my income, but now they are asking for my co-signers income. He is refusing to help me. If my amount goes up it will be more than my monthly salary and I physically will not be able to do it. This is causing me extreme stress. I want to pay but if the amount gets any higher I wont be able to. I am struggling as it is with the lowered amount.
