Consumer complaint received 2024-02-08 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
incident occurred XX/XX/XXXX ( according to citibank customer service phone ) CREDIT LIMIT DECREASE DURING PANDEMIC  FOR NO REASON WITHOUT ANY PROPER NOTICE GIVEN PRIOR TO THE REDUCTION ... .... 

Citibank decreased my credit limit when i was in good standing by reducing credit causing maxing out all 3 of my citicards that already had a high balance. credit limit was reduced by as much as {$8000.00} or more causing my cards to be unusable during a worldwide pandemic and national crisis. 

( example {$28000.00} on one card was reduced to {$20000.00} while i had a balance of {$20000.00} in debt. once pending charges already made were posted the card maxed out at {$20000.00} and was unusable until I made payments. ) I was given no notice by phone or email, I was just unable to use the card to make purchases all the sudden. No customer service representatives were available to answer at the time due to long hold times and very few employees working. 

I believe citbank retaliated against me for asking for payment forgiveness a few months back in XXXX where they allowed consumers XXXX months of putting minimum payments on hold until they could get financial stability. 

A month later in XXXX I got a letter in the mail stating my credit limit had been reduced based on a credit report recently pulled which was not proper notice of the decrease as it has already been implemented causing my hardships. 

CITIBANK SAID THE REDUCTUCTION IN CREDIT WAS A RESULT OF A CREDIT REPORT FROM A MAJOR REPORTING AGENCY. 

I firmly believe citibank either didnt report i was on payment forgiveness and may have reported to credit reporting agencies I failed to make payments lowing my credit score. 


WHEN I SIGNED UP FOR PAYMENT FORGIVENESS IT WAS NOT DISCLOSED OR PROPERLY MENTIONED THAT MY CREDIT LIMITS WOULD BE AFFECTED FROM THE PAYMENT FORGIVENESS OR PLACING MINIMUM PAYMENTS ON HOLD. 

I suffered XXXX  health issues from stress and hardships having to use another high interest rate credit card during this period where my card was at the maximum limit and I was unable to make some purchases needed during the pandemic. 


citibank has failed to respond to my claim by email and said it would take -- -14 days to respond -- -- -- I dont think this is a reasonable period of time and citibank is not taking the issue very seriously only sending pre-typed emails saying they have received my complaint but no response. 

Just like victims of XXXX XXXX years later who are now prosecuting their attackers, I believe citibank took advantage of me and had leadership that was dishonest like XXXX XXXX during the pandemic leading to decisions like this one. 

AMONG RECENT ALIGATIONS THAT CITIBANK DISCIMINATED AGAINST CERTAIN PEOPLE AT THIS EXACT SAME TIME.

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.
