Consumer complaint received 2023-06-29 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Citi is charging me interest on purchases at the purchase rate despite me paying the full minimum, plus the purchases made within the statement period, plus even additional payments in some months, for the last XXXX months. They claim it's because I accepted a balance transfer offer at 0 %, however the promotional rate has not expired. According to the payment terms, payments go to the minimum amount first, then to items under highest rates. However, even when I make payments OVER the minimum payment, plus the charges subject to purchase interest, somehow there is a random amount each month ( random because Citi can't seem to explain each month how that number is determined ) subject to new purchase interest on my statement. I called Citi about this over the last five statements I received with interest charges. First I was told to make the minimum payment to stop interest. The I was told to make a minimum plus new charges payment. Then I was told there was some previous purchases never paid. And now they are saying to just stop making purchases to avoid interest. They clearly are being deceptive and don't understand their own system and policies, because they provide me inconsistent responses, but continue to charge me every month.

Complaint narrative:
I spoke with a representative of XXXX XXXX XXXX, who are working on behalf of Cavalry Portfolio, to settle the account with a payment arrangement. The terms of the agreement were falsely represented, misleading, threatening, and additional funds were added to the account. I reached out to the company with no response, so I disputed the account information on my credit report but with no changes. I don't understand how terms of a settlement are reached on a recorded line but changed afterwards and it's ok to do. I have also emailed the attachment to the law firm in XXXX, and they never responded until I disputed the account via XXXX. This company is awful!

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
ALLY BANK repeatedly freezes my bank account / debit card without notice. 

I am a 100 % XXXX veteran and my pension is deposited to my ally bank checking account every month. I have all of my monthly bills set to autodraft off this Ally Bank account. However, on at least 3 occasions during the past 6 months Ally Bank has frozen my bank account without notice and without the courtesy to confirm whether or not I authorized such banking transactions, the end result which affected my ability to pay my bills on time and negatively impacted my personal credit score.

This week my account was again frozen without notice or communication from Ally Bank as I only discovered my account was frozen when I attempted to buy grocery. Nonetheless, I contacted Ally Bank and their only response was that they will contact me in 1-2 business days which in this event due to the holiday it will be 7 to 10 calendar days before Ally Bank responds to my inquiry. 

Meanwhile, I am unable to pay my bills or buy grocery and medicines. 

I don't understand why Ally Bank continues to randomly freeze my bank account without notice and then expect me to wait 2 weeks before I can access my pension funds. 

At this time, I intend to notify the Department of Veterans Affairs to warn other Veterans not to bank with Ally Bank or do Business with Ally Bank so that they are not victimized as I have been by Ally Bank 's unexplainable fraudulent policies and repeated failures to notify the bank account holder that Ally Bank suspects anything fraudulent with their bank account.
