Most credit card issuers do not generate monthly statements ( mail out and paperless ) XXXX ) the account has {$0.00} balance, 2 ) if there are no transactions ( purchase or payment ) on an account in the billing period. This is ok. 

However Citibank started a policy ( XXXX XXXX? ) of not generating a statement ( mail out and paperless ) if there are no purchases on a credit card during the billing period. 
If there are only payment transactions - no statement. 

I recently paid off a credit card ( initial balance of ~ {$6000.00} ) in two payments during a billing period in which there were no purchases. For this billing period and subsequent periods Citi will not issue a statement showing the payment transactions and subsequent {$0.00} balance. 
The payments to pay off the account are also not included in a payment history which is quite troublesome as the account balance is shown to be starting at XXXX $ XXXX and ending at {$0.00}. 

In many regards I think this is not providing the consumer XXXX customer ) with documentation that may be required in future disputes to prove the account was paid off. I use electronic bill pay so I haverecords of my payments to Citi but they refuse to provide a statement with only payment transactions on the account. I use electronic statements so this is not about wasting paper. This policy was adopted by Citi in XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX time frame.
