Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: SC
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Can't close your account

Complaint:
I tried to open a new bank account online with Citibank in XX/XX/2021. I was able to open the account and deposit {$950.00} into this account via online transfer. I also submitted all of the documentation they requested with regards to my ID and address. I kept receiving emails from them requesting the same documentation over and over again which I submitted multiple times. When I called them to find out what the problem was, I was told that they were not willing to open a new account for me because I was living outside of the US. This was in XX/XX/2021. So at that point, I told them to close the account and send me a check for the money that I had deposited into the account. But they never closed the account and I never received the check. Since this time I have called them every 2 weeks to try to resolve this problem. They keep telling me they will send the check, but the check never comes. This has been going on for 5 months now with me making repeated calls to their customer service department. No matter what I do, I can not get Citibank to return my funds to me.

Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Problem getting your free annual credit report

Complaint:
REQUEST FOR FREE ANNUAL CREDIT REPORT!!! 
I believe that each consumer reporting agency has invalidated the true spirit of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. The Act first established XX/XX/2003 was intended to establish a plan whereas common American citizens could obtain a copy of their credit reports at least once a year free of charge. Since each credit reporting agency now has marketing divisions such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX  XXXX, the automation system to obtain the free annual reports is looped into an information request to steer citizens into additional product offers that are excessive and unnecessary. Even though I may have received an approval of an updated credit report from either XXXX, Trans Union or XXXX  respectively, it is unfair that I need to do a mail request since I can submit my personal information through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) portal. I believe that since the CFPB is the sole responsible oversight party of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, its imperative that any additional solicitation of information from the credit bureaus should be blocked permanently. I along with any other citizen should receive a free credit report upon request. The credit reporting agencies are an important aspect of the national banking system to properly function, but the current aggressive marketing campaign soliciting citizens for an arbitrary FICO score has gone too far, including but not limited to XXXX XXXX. We must return to a common ground that is fair for all consumers in the United States, and we must be able to request additional marketing on our own terms. Accordingly, I am making a request for a free credit report with confirmation number to my attached email address. Thank you.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
Recently I checked my credit report and noticed multiple billing errors under 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) billing error ( 4 ) The creditors failure to reflect properly on a statement, a payment made by the obligor or a credit issued to the obligor. 

( 5 ) A computation error or similar error of an accounting nature of the creditor on a statement.

As I know the creditor didnt notify me 21 days before with a statement so there should be no late payments on these accounts. I demand to see hard solid proof for the creditor bank account that I didnt pay and was marked late because this is clearly a billing error.
