Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Problem making or receiving payments

Complaint:
I use the Suntrust Bill Payer service for my bills each month. In the spring of 2019 we had fraudulent activity on our check account. I reported this to Suntrust, and they followed normal procedure by closing the account, opening a new one, and promising that all outstanding checks would be automatically rerouted to the new account. I would be free of this responsibility. Since then, every check I paid was rerouted just as Suntrust promised except for two checks that went to XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Va. which is the business office for XXXX XXXX XXXX. The first one bounced, for which I was assessed {$30.00} returned check fee, and a {$10.00} late check fee. I have a photo copy of the check that shows that the check was sent on time. What makes all this more confusing is that I was not made aware of this until XX/XX/2019 ( 6 months ). These payments are made quarterly, so it appears that the check that I sent in XXXX seems to have been cashed normally. But then the check sent in XXXX of that year was returned designated as " not authorized ''. During this time all other bills were paid on time including electric, gas, and credit cards. I spoke with XXXX  employees a few times and also with the treasurer of the HOA, and nobody knows why this happened. Total cost to me is {$80.00}, but it has more to do with me being taken for granted. XXXX and the HOA decided that it was OK to penalize me even though I had no control over what happened after I turned the computer off.

Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2019 I discovered that my XXXX cell phone CIM card had been swapped without my knowledge. This enabled thieves to have access to my phone and banking information. 

The same day, the thieves went to two separate branches of Bank of America and were able to make over-the-counter withdrawals of {$2500.00} from my savings and two withdrawals from joint checking in the amounts of {$4500.00} and {$6300.00} for a grand total of {$13000.00}. These fraudulent transactions were reported the next day to Bank of America and a police report with the City of XXXX was also filed. 

Over the last seven weeks, I have received no communication from Bank of America either by phone, email, or letter. I still do not have any documentary acknowledgement of the claims from Bank of America. 

After having spend 47 minutes on hold in order to speak to a member of the fraud department, I was informed that we were only on day 36 of a 90 working day process to investigate my claim and resolve it. ( My understanding is that federal regulations require these items be resolved in 60 calendar days. ) Additionally, I complained to a supervisor in the fraud department and was given no estimates or  assurances of when my funds would be returned and was fobbed off by the excuse that BOA has to work the claims backlog in order and that they were very busy. 

The amount of time to resolve this issue and return my funds is excessive and I am beginning to suspect that this slow-playing of legitimate claims by customers may be intentional on the part of the bank.

Sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Complaint:
Seeing that the world was and still in a pandemic with Covid and me dealing with deaths due to XXXX and being their for immediate family as well as grieving I honestly overlooked the bill. It is funny how they have assistance for those who are experiencing hardship due to XXXX, but no compassion for those who inadvertently forget to pay a bill and never been late. I had this account for over 9 years and never missed a payment and when they finally got in contact with me I then pay the balance off in full apologizing for missing the payment. 

Not only did they report it after I asked not too due to the circumstances they also blocked my account for further use. I mean really and I missed 1 payment and turned around and paid the entire balance off. Bit to mention other store cards I have with XXXX  have also been restricted and I am about to cancel and close all of the cards that had for years and once again never been late. 

To top it all of I put in a dispute early this month when I seen the reporting and it was removed, but once I requested to close the account they retaliated and put the negative remark back on. How does a company get way with that. They can remove it ( I have screen shots ) but when I choose to close the account they can go back in and place it back on. 

I need someone to step I. And look at the larger picture of a consumer who has several cards with this bank and never Been late for a number of years, we are not speaking of 1-3 years. 

Please step in to help rectify this issue. 

Thank you

Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint:
I applied for and was approved for a Citibank Diamond Secured Credit Card and Citibank took {$2000.00} from my Citi checking account as security to hold for 18 months. 
When I started to use the card it was immediately blocked for " security reasons '' that was around XX/XX/XXXX ( I received the card on XX/XX/XXXX ). 

I called Citicards to unblock the card ( They outsource to the XXXX and the phone lines are terrible ), but they said they wouldnt as they couldnt verify me through my Cell phone number ( Citibank dont have this problem for my checking account which still works fine ). 

They said they would send me a letter with a code to verify, no letter turned up Ive since called them 4 times and 4 letters have been sent but none received. 

They asked if I had another card with another bank, so I got a card from XXXX, but now they say they cant use that other card to verify as its too new, I asked how long do I need to hold a card and they refused to tell me. 

Im now stuck with {$2000.00} taken from my bank account and a blocked card Citi refuse to unblock, should I just take them to Small Claims court to recover my {$2000.00}? 

From where Im sitting this appears to be nothing than a bait and switch scheme by Citi, taking money from customers who are trying to build their credit and then refusing customers access to those funds, some would call this fraud. 

Ive also reached out to Citibanks Executive Response Dept but havent had a reply, that was on XX/XX/XXXX.
