Consumer complaint received 2021-06-30
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
I received an offer in the mail from Citibank to refinance my loan and responded in early XX/XX/2021. They immediately advised I needed to have my home appraised by an approved lender. Within one week, I paid {$700.00} to have that done. The appraiser uploaded the appraisal a week later and its been a nightmare every since. 

Citibank has requested the same documents over and over and changed agents without informing me. I only found out when I had not heard from anyone in over 45 days and I called their XXXX number. I reached out to the new agent via email and voicemail over several weeks. It wasnt until I called the XXXX number again and requested a call back from her manager that SHE called me back, not the manager advising all documents had been received and a decision would be made in 6 weeks. Three weeks later, I get yet ANOTHER request for documents and they needed to be received within 3 business days. I do not have time to gather yet another new stack of papers to send to them again. My locked interest rate is set to expire soon and Im afraid I will miss out on the low rate. 

I have a great credit score ( XXXX ) solid job history ( been on my job for 10 years ) and have owned my home for 18 years. My mortgage holder is CURRENTLY Citibank. 

I cant help but wonder if all the hoops Im being made to jump through is a result of the systemic unfair treatment that XXXX people, like me, have silently had to endure in this country from the banking industry. 

Please help me get this issue resolved. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX Loan Number XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX - XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
I was behind on two payments but even though I was behind, they were still deducting a payment from my checking account each month. I called the company to pay the {$250.00} I was told I was behind on and which is also on my credit report and the representative told me that I owed them over {$1000.00}. After several minutes of trying to get her to explain to me why I had to pay over {$1000.00}, the rep told me to hold on while she updated my account, hung up on me and never called back. My monthly payment for this loan was {$110.00} every two weeks and payments were taken out of my checking account up until the month of XXXX which you see they started reporting it as late for three months, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. I am able to provide you with my bank statement showing these payments were deducted from my checking account up until XXXX of this year.

Complaint:
Once I visited Macy 's store in XXXX, I was persistently offered their credit card on terms that there will be a 20 % discount on making first purchase at the store. I didn't have to buy anything that day and I confirmed this from the person who issued me this card that I'll come later and I'll still get the discount. When I visited later, at the billing counter, the concerned person again told me that the 20 % discount will appear in the monthly statement. That never happened, I received the bill without discount applied. I raised the issue several times over email as well as phone- it was never resolved. Since I was billed wrongly, I didn't pay the bill and kept requesting to fix the mistake. Instead of fixing the bill, I started receiving the bill with late fee on top the wrong bill. I again kept calling, writing mails to your team to get it fixed. Instead, my credit score was devastated. Please fix the bill and also report to the credit bureau so that the mistake is undone. I've gone through enough mental stress as of now, please don't aggravate it by not fixing the mistake that happened at Macy 's end

State: IN
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Complaint:
Hello, I was lured by XXXX XXXX during my last semester at XXXX TECH to join them for a Bachelors 's degree. - I understand that this was my decision at the end-. 
However, I was led to believe that I was going to be able to pay this easily by going into pay as you earn. when I obtained my bachelor 's in XXXX, I was pretty much forced to get the pay as you ear deal due to my low income. my income has not changed in the past 6 years. I make XXXX a year, so my payment has been around 100 dollars. This has increased my loan until covid that now is actually XXXX dollars less in principal than I had in XXXX. 
This has caused many problems over the years to be able to qualify for other loans. lenders don't see the {$100.00} payment, they see the {$29000.00} and the {$450.00} dollar payment I would have if I am not in the pay as you earn program. 
when I purchased my Home years ago, I qualify for less than I should have so I bought a smaller home foreclosed that needed work rather than going with a better and bigger home for my children. 
I now have a much bigger problem, I wish to better myself and move to a bigger city such as the XXXX XXXX XXXX area to find better employment opportunities. With the housing market ( XXXX ), again, I am unable to afford a house that doesn't need work because lenders take into consideration the {$29000.00} or {$450.00} payment. I am unable to help my kids co-sign for vehicles so they can have the means to get employed. 
My situation has caused my kids ( XXXX and XXXX ) to even consider getting an education due to the struggle they see from their mother 's student debt. 
I could have obtained jobs making $ XXXX without a college education, or just with my XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX. My degree has been pretty much worthless financially, and I can't get into the TODAY housing market or co-sign for my kids due to the loan. my credit score is XXXX. 
This situation should not happen, it should be illegal. especially for single moms that already struggle to raise kids.
