Complaint narrative:
I used XXXX to apply for a Citi credit card. After being approved for an amount, it gave me the option to perform a balance transfer and add an account. I added my XXXX account number and hit submit. Then it said I was idle and logged me out. I do n't know if my mastercard information is safe. I did not get any confirmation email from lendingtree or Citi. Almost seems like a phishing scam.

Complaint narrative:
On or about XXXX XXXX, 2015 I received a message from Citibank advising me that due to suspicious activity on my account ending in XXXX another card was being issued. The message stated that I could still use the card XXXX until the new card arrived. I checked online and noticed numerous charges on my account ending in XXXX. I had given the card to my son, XXXX XXXX to use in an emergency. I tried to contact XXXX to tell him to stop using the card. I was unable to contact him. I called XXXX and spoke to XXXX ( I.D . # XXXX ) on XXXX XXXX, 2015 and asked her to freeze the account. I checked my account later and found that more charges had been applied to acct. XXXX. I called Citibank again on XXXX XXXX, 2015 and spoke with XXXX. She said a freeze was applied to the new card issued XXXX but not applied to XXXX card. I told her that made no sense as I had not received card XXXX. She agreed and apologized for what she called " the confusion ''. I told her I was not responsible for charges after XXXX XXXX as I had requested account be frozen. Account XXXX was closed and another card XXXX XXXX was issued. I checked my account later and all charges after XXXX XXXX, 2015 were still posted to my account. I called on XXXX, 2015 and spoke with XXXX . He said he would " take care of it ''. I checked my account again on XXXX XXXX, 2015 and all charges were still on my account. I called Citibank again on that date and spoke to XXXX ( XXXX # XXXX ). I checked my account later and charges had been removed from account. I checked my account XXXX XXXX, 2015 and some charges had been reapplied to account. I called Citibank and spoke to XXXX, then XXXX in Florida office. I was told that phone conversation from XXXX XXXX, 2015 would be reviewed and I would be receiving a letter from XXXX I have heard nothing from Citibank since and charges are still posted to my account. Since I was unable to contact my son and tell him to stop using card XXXX I felt my only option was to have the account frozen. I was told this was done. It was not. My agreement with Citibank states that I am not responsible for unauthorized charges. Charges made after XXXX XXXX, 2015 were not authorized because I had requested that account be frozen. Citibank seems to be refusing to accept responsibility for a mistake made by their employee.

Complaint narrative:
I applied and was approved for a Double Cash credit card on XX/XX/2017, but I still have not received the card in the mail. Several weeks after the approval, I received a notification that the bank received return mail. I called customer service and confirmed the address on file was correct and that another card would be expedited to me. I called again to obtain a tracking number and was informed that expedited shipping was not possible. After I made several more phone calls, and received conflicting information about the card shipping process each time, my final call was escalated to a manager/team lead. I was then told that the card was shipped via XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, and was told that it typically takes only 5-7 days to receive the card. It has now been 14 business days since the card was supposedly shipped to me, yet I still do not have a credit card. Due to gross incompetence and deception by Citibank 's customer service, I am cheated out of both a credit inquiry AND and a credit card for which I was qualified to get.

Complaint narrative:
I have had Macy 's AmEx credit card for several years. I pay the account in full, on time. On XX/XX/XXXX, I opened the statement for the period ending XX/XX/XXXX, found that my account had been hacked. Several charges posted in XXXX, XXXX, along with foreign transaction fees. I called immediately, was informed the account would be closed, all fraudulent charges removed, a new card issued. I told agent there were eight days between the statement ending date and my receipt of the statement so there would likely be more charges. First statement for new account, period ending XX/XX/XXXX, included the hacked charges from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX ( the previous account ). I spent two hours on phone with fraud unit while they supposedly removed those charges from the new account. However, next statement carried $ XXXX+ past due charges. More calls and a letter ( with every statement showing my charges and payments ) ; finally a message from them that everything was resolved. However, the XX/XX/XXXX statement shows that I still owe {$98.00}. I have paid all the legitimate charges every month so that {$98.00} is carryover from the hacking charges and fees. I canceled this card in writing ( not sure they did that ) and would like this resolved.

Complaint narrative:
Citi bank had a promotion for City Gold Checking where they would reward you with XXXX airline miles if you completed all the requirements. I opened the account in XX/XX/XXXX but they made a mistake and opened a basic checking and when I inquired they stated they had system issues but they did find my application in the gold department finally. I had made out XXXX applications for the gold as their system was down and they instructed me to fill out another application. I finally got the account set up for the gold and the funded the account. I inquired with a rep named XXXX to see that I was set up for the correct promotions of XXXX American Airline miles and she assured me that I was and stated they were going to waive the monthly fees because of the issues. After a couple of weeks I contacted Citi Gold again and talked with XXXX and reviewed with her all the requirements that I needed to meet by the XXXX XXXX, 2016 deadline. I meet all the requirements within the time frame and contacted Citi by message to verify that I had met them and received the attached response that I would be awarded the miles in my American account by XXXX/XXXX/2016 and I checked and they were not there by XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted Citi and the rep stated that XX/XX/XXXX was not a business day and to wait and they would be in the account. I then waited two days and then contacted Citi again and they put in a claim which came back and stated there was no promotion offered in conjunction with the opening of my account but every rep I contacted before stated the opposite. You had to enter in your offer number in order to even get to the application page in order to apply for the account. I since have contacted Citi twice and again each findings state the same thing and I now know that as of XXXX/XXXX/2016 Citi was not issuing any miles to anyone so I have no idea how many people have been denied the miles they were entitled to.

I make a monthly payment to Citibank. The due date of XXXX XXXX, XXXX fell on a Sunday, and Citi Bank did not accept payments. The payment was accepted on XXXX XXXX, XXXX the first business day after the due date. I was charged a late fee, against XXXX Credit CARD ACT as the due date was on a non-working bank business day and permitted to accept the first business day to follow. I have never been late once. The late fee charged was {$35.00}, {$8.00} more than was is legally permitted. As my payments are made automatically and there was no indication or change to my balance, I continued to pay the same payment and they repeatedly charged me a late fee for the next few months. They broke 2 laws per the XXXX Credit CARD Act and now are forcing me to pay over {$170.00} in late fees.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint narrative:
Today I called in to simply close my citi credit card account ( which has been paid off and now with XXXX balance since weeks ago ), but instead I had to spend XXXX mins on the phone with XXXX agents. The XXXX agent asked me a set of questions, and then she insisted to transfer me to the other agent. The XXXX agent ( Name : XXXX, agent id : XXXX ) asked me the same set of questions again plus a few more questions, but he refused to listen to my request ( ie. close my account ), and he stated citi ca n't close my account unless I cooperate with him to answer all the questions he asked and in the exact format he needed including some personal questions about my business. When I said I was not comfortable sharing that info and hoped he could record my answer to that question as " N/A '' and then move on to help close my account, he refused to proceed with my request and accused me for not understanding his job. He said " You ca n't see the screen in front of me, so do n't assume I can just put a N/A for this question. You must answer " yes '' or " no '' otherwise I ca n't close your account ''. I ended up begging him to close my account, but still have no clue if my account is closed or not. 
Also I shared with him I only have XXXX mins for this phone call before my business meeting at XXXX EST, and appreciate if he could help close my account in XXXX mins. Obviously the call lasted way more than XXXX mins, and for the most part of this phone call was just him repeatedly saying non-sense things, such as how much I do n't understand his job and the reasons why he needed to explain to me again and again about the AA points which I already clearly shared with him there was no concern from my side. 
Also citi changed my credit card card number without notifying me or any sort of communication. So I still do n't know the current card number on citi 's side. What I have are the XXXX cards I received from citi ( XXXX before the fraud and XXXX after the fraud ), and they are XXXX and XXXX hope these are helpful to link my case to my account. 
Finally I hope citi recorded this phone call, and people will know how ridiculous this XXXX guy was. This phone call was almost funny, if you consider how much he refused to listen to the customer and how much he was soaked in his world about the exact format of answers he required. Citi should share this phone call publicly, and it will be a great XXXX hit.
