Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (GA)

1. Payment due dates are changed every month without any previous notice to create " got-ya '' moment with intent to fradulently charge fees and interest. Example : the statement with billing period ( a ) XX/XX/23 to XX/XX/23 had a payment due date of XX/XX/23, ( b ) XX/XX/23 to XX/XX/23 had a payment due date of XX/XX/23. 

2. For billing period XX/XX/23 to XX/XX/23, we were prompted to pay " Remaining Statement Balance, '' and we paid the remaining statement balance {$1100.00} way before the due date. We had statement credits from rewards points and other past payments. 

3. For billing period XX/XX/23 to XX/XX/23, we were chared {$17.00} in interest- even after paying the full " Remaining Statement Balance '' as prompted. 

4. There was absolute no basis for the $ XXXX rather XXXX XXXX should have given us interest for having credit balance. This is fraud and deception. 

5. We contacted Citi 's Customer Service- they admitted the problem- and informed us that the " System '' is not allowing them to refund the money. When we requested to cancel our credit cards- he told me that system does not allow him to cancel the credit card.
