Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I had a deposit of {$1000.00} go through this morning at XXXX AM. I went to go use my card in the morning and it said declined tried again same thing. When I got to work I called my local branch they said that there may be a soft hold on it in fraud department and to call customer service. After spending over XXXX hours on hold Im being transferred I finally got a hold of the fraud department. They stated that they could give no further information and the car would be disconnected and hung up on me this happened twice in the matter of XXXX hours. I went into the local branch in person to verify my identity and to see what was going on. They allowed me to call from their phone in hopes to get a hold of the fraud department sooner. They didnt fact answer in that department however I received the same treatment your account is being referred to be closed we have no further information and this call will be disconnected and hung up on me. Ive looked at my account and theres no fraudulent activity, I have verified all my identification over the phone and in person multiple times today. I just called customer service again this gentleman did not hang up on me but he did say it was referred to be closed as of yesterday and a letter was sent yesterday. So if thats the case then why did my XXXX dollar deposit go through today. Now they account Is being referred to be closed and no withdraws or deposits can be made you know of course other than the XXXX dollar deposit they allowed to go in this morning. I have no access to that money no gas in my car no groceries, and I was told the letter would be sent to me and then there was no way I could get that money out in the bank and take 30 to 60 days to actually close the account at which at the end of the 60 days a check will be mailed to me for that amount {$1000.00}. I dont understand why this is happening as no one can tell me in person or on the phone and I need my money. This is very frustrating especially this time of year.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2021, I received a letter from Citizens One Personal Loans referenced with ID # XXXX indicating that my recent application for a XXXX XXXX XXXX Citizens One Line of Credit was denied for the following reason : Application Information Does Not Match Credit Report [ Exhibit A ]. 

The letter referred me to XXXX for further dispute. After inquiring with XXXX, I noticed a HARD CREDIT ENQUIRY on my credit report that I did not authorize.

I have never authorized Citizens One to use my personal information to check my credit file. More importantly, XXXX is falsely representing my credit information to vendors. I have an excellent credit history and over XXXX credit score, and XXXX is damaging my credit history by such practices.
