Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CO
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Opening an account
Sub-issue: Unable to open an account

Complaint:
Applied online for and funded a checking account with a {$15000.00} transfer from an external account on XX/XX/21. Confirmed with Citibank in an online chat later that day that account was successfully opened. Initial funding transferred from external account and showed as pending/on hold when logging in online to newly opened Citibank account. Received email from Citibank on XX/XX/21 that account would be automatically closed in 60 days because it was found that I had violated the terms of my account per the client manual. I called the number in the email to get more information regarding this notice and, after being transferred to 4 different individuals, I was finally able to speak with someone on Citibank 's fraud team who told me the account was set to be closed the same day I applied on XX/XX/21 for some reason they could not disclose over the phone, but that I would be receiving a letter in the mail with an explanation. When I inquired about being returned the {$15000.00} I had transferred to Citibank to fund my account, I was told that the status of that fund transfer was being reviewed and it could take anywhere form 30 to 60 days before that money would be returned, and another 10 to 15 days for the money to arrive by check in the mail. In addition to the unsatisfactory answers I received regarding the account being closed for vague reasons, I also expressed my dissatisfaction regarding the amount of time it could potentially take to have {$15000.00} returned to me. There was no intent by anyone I spoke with at Citibank to alleviate what to me feels like an unjust holding of money that belongs to me. I don't understand why money that was so easily transferred in when opening the account couldn't just as easily be transferred back. No one at Citibank was willing to help to resolve this matter in a satisfactory manner.

Payment post on XX/XX/2021 saying that I still owe {$7.00}. I contacted provider and was told this was interest because payment did not post until XX/XX/2021. This amount would not be the correct interest amount even if that were the case. The company provides a payoff amount for the current day without the ability to post the payment on the same day.

Complaint:
I was given a loan for a car to which my first problem was the same day. Car was dead. Battery was replaced. Then I took the car in on numerous occasions and each time they said there was no problem. By the fourth or fifth month the whole transmission fell out the car. It was supposed to be covered but in a turn of events they said I will have to pay for the tear down which could have ran me up to {$5000.00}. Now that is not fair. I reported it immediately and told them to keep the car. Then later I found out there was a problem about a salvaged title which was another problem. Now I get called from them several times a day everyday. It has gotten so bad I put them on block and they still call from other numbers. The harrassment is out of control.

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
For two or so years I have been trying to get a modification on my mortgage. I became ill and got behind for two years they ask for paperwork and applications. I always get a letter saying my package is complete and a few days later they request a copy of something I already sent or they cant find it or read it. I started emailing a copy, and sending the original by mail. Still they loose something. They also request updated financial records cause it takes so long that the dates expire. I got so frustrated I got an attorney to send a copy also. Still they pulled the same stuff on them. Mind you the clock is ticking and Im closer to foreclosure. I went to my second to last court date where I was informed by their attorney that I wasnt approved because they didnt have my taxes. One thing they never asked for. I was also Informed I missed out on qualifying for an Obama loan and a loan for XXXX people. Plus I coulda got a streamline loan back when I was 3mos behind but I was never Rd offered one and didnt know it existed! but now its too late. I was given an extra month to get financing done if I agreed to sign a paper letting them foreclose. I didnt get a modification even though this time they had my taxes, in fact I was sending the papers by email and was blocked and found out I had to send the papers in a PDF. I told them by phone I would have my attorney do it. Which they did 3days later. I got an e mail the same day I was blocked thanking me for the paperwork and saying my package was complete an it could take a while before they made a decision. I sent a reply saying how amused I was cause they blocked my paperwork and my attorney was going to send it to them in the next day or so, I also added that my package couldnt be complete cause it was never recieved! Shortly after I was denied. I called and asked why cause the email they send with the reason was encrypted and I couldnt open it. I was told that it costs the company a lot of money each time they do a modification and they had no intension of approving it. Now I am trying to get a new mortgage but because my house is my place of business no one will give me a mortgage and I shouldnt have gotten one, I should have got a business loan. My current loan with OCWEN only shows the house the Barn an indoor arena dont exist per the way the Mortgage was written. I have till XXXX-17 to get a new loan of some sort either business or personal loan to catch the payments up. HELP!

Complaint:
I have disputed the referenced accounts to the 3 main credit bureaus and do not owe your company anything. I dont know this company and I do not recall ever having this debt and appears to be fraud, see attached FTC Report. Moreover, no adequate information has been given and noticed these accounts appear to violate my rights as well, per 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( f ) ( g ). Moreover, you stated the account was verified as accurate by law 15 USC 1681 ( e ). Per 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. Investigations weren't completed as described by law and no factual information should be on credit reports. Im requesting removal of accounts and/or monetary compensation due to violations of my rights. Im currently seeking litigation regarding consistent harassment, unfair debt practices, adding without my permission/authorization within 5 days and more. As the original creditor, only I can validate the debt therefore Im requesting removal and this account violates my consumer rights in several ways. Please remove and provide some updates within 4 days of receipt, as this has been ongoing for over 3-4 months.

Complaint:
Looking at my Key Bank home equity loan account I see Key   has added a fee of {$210.00} plus {$11.00} to my account and call it Assess Prop Val Fees. I have called Key to find out what these fees are about. I have been transferred from XXXX to XXXX to XXXX and the only answer I got from XXXX was it was for insurance. For what no one seems to know other than I am being charged for it. I told them I already have the property insured and didn't need this nor do I want it. I'll have someone get back with you is what I'm told. When asking when will that happen? After they review it I'm told. I've heard that too many times before and it never happens. It's my money and I don't want them spending it without my approval or knowledge. If Key wants to know the value of my property, they should also pay for it, not me.
