Complaint narrative:
I had a previous case with you that we thought was resolved. My husband and I were pleased with the creditors response. The creditor once again ( second letter ) apologized and stated that they basically in simple words would repair our good credit standing and reverse any late fees and interest charges. This was stated in the letter dated XXXX XXXX, 2015. To date, our credit has not yet been repaired. I am again, reaching out to you for your assistance. I have tried numerous times to reach the gentleman who wrote this letter to us/this credit card company and unable to reach him. I thank you in advance again.

Issue: Customer service / Customer relations — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
Around XXXX XXXX, I noticed a fraudulent charge on my credit card for an online purchase at Best Buy. I immediately contacted Citi to dispute the charge which they approved as fraud. A day later a package arrived at my house addressed to someone else from Best Buy. I called Citi back to report that the alleged package arrive to ask them for direction on next steps. They informed me that they could not tell me what to do with the package so its at my discretion but that they had approved my dispute and the money will be credited back. I decided to return the phone to Best Buy. I explained to the customer service rep the situation and told them I needed to just give them the phone back and he said they could n't do that but they would have to issue a credit. I tried explaining that Citi had already given me a credit but he said it must be processed as a return anyway. I have also requested from Best Buy and Citi the IP address of where the item was purchased to provide to the police which I have not received from either company. 
My complaint is now that 3 months later I see a charge on my citi card that occurred on XXXX XXXX but posted XXXX XXXX. When I called Citi to inquire they said they were recouping the credit since Best Buy returned the item. I told them I understood but wanted to given some leeway as now I owe $ 900+ which I viewed as a statement credit at the time and was never informed that this could happen especially not after almost 3 months. I am extremely frustrated that Citi did not set the expectation of their policies on the front end nor was anything at any point communicated to me. I am a loyal customer who pays my bill in full every month, now I will endure a financial hardship for something I did not create. Once the credit from Citi was not corrected within a month, I reallocated my budgeted money. I asked Citi if there was anything they could do for me because of unexpected charge and now my responsibility to pay for it which will cause a financial hardship this month. I was only offered a {$75.00} statement credit for my time.

Complaint narrative:
I would like the assistance of CFPB in contacting Citibank Item 1 : I have been charged credit protector fees for several of my credit card accts. I have only received credit for those which I have brought to the attention of CFPB. I have never received credit for my account am I referencing on this complaint. 
Item 2 In 2015 I paid Citibank on account {$9500.00}, I only had charges totaling {$1400.00} see attached information is taken directly from Citibank st my statement. They gave me a credit but kept my overpayment. I am asking for an immediate explanation. I have called XXXX XXXX several times. She does not answer the phone. She sent a bunch of old statements but my overpayment and some of my credit protector refunds are st still pending. They only gave me credit for accounts I requested. They did not give me credits for all accounts in my name. 
I hope that they read what I have written and reach a conclusion. 
Citibank has partially cooperated since CFPB has gotten involved with my account.

Issue: Credit line increase/decrease — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Without provocation, I received notice that my credit line was being decreased by nearly 100 %. My available credit was reduced from $ XXXX to XXXX ( the rough amount of my available balance ). 

When I called to question the change, I was provided a nob-descript response referencing my XXXX report. It was my understanding that under the FCRA I was entitled to a copy of this report, but was refused by Citi and have been given no further explanation. 

This is predatory in that it affects my utilization of credit, further subjecting me to increase in APrs, etc and a higher cost of credit without any reason.

Complaint narrative:
I have a XXXX Citibank Visa card that keeps getting rejected. My account is now blocked and I ca n't view my on-line statement. So I called up Citibank to cancel my card, and they informed me that I 'd need to wait of awhile ( " they are experiencing long wait times '' ) to get my account cancelled. This seems unreasonable, since I feel that I should be able to cancel my card without having to wait a long time ( last time I needed to wait 12 mins, and the time before was 20 mins before I eventually gave up ). Anything less seems like fraud. I asked the representative to provide me the name of the regulator of Citibank Credit Cards - she could not. I asked to be referred to a manager, and was referred to a " senior account supervisor '' who also could not provide me with the name of their regulator. And he said he did n't really understand the question. So I did a 5 second search on-line, came up with the name of the CFPB, and informed him that I had the information I required.

Issue: Balance transfer — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I have a 0 % APR promotional balance transfer on my credit card with Citicard. In the same billing period, I made additional purchases besides the balance transfer. I paid the minimum amount due from the monthly statement, PLUS the entire amount of the non-promotional purchases. Citicard charged me interest, saying that it was because I had not paid the statement balance in full, including the balance transfer amount. When I referenced the CARD act provisions that say that any amount paid above the minimum amount due must be allocated to the highest interest balance ( i.e. the new purchase balance and not the balance transfer ), they said I was wrong and expressly stated that their policy was the opposite. I want to make sure I 'm right in that I should not have been charged interest. I saw there are exceptions to this for special debt payment agreements, but I do n't think my account falls into this exception. Furthermore, the customer service rep would not explain the math to me of how they arrived at the interest charged - it does n't make sense to me.

Complaint narrative:
I opened an account with Citibank last year with the understanding that I would receive a {$400.00} account opening bonus after meeting certain requirements. I confirmed with the call center in the bank that I met the necessary requirements to open my account ( which included depositing and keeping {$10000.00} ). They were not able to confirm the date that I would receive my bonus. I have called back multiple times and either been on hold for too long ( 1 hour ) or been given unclear information. When I 've called the bank, they 've taken 25 minutes or longer, including transfers to supervisors, to even locate the promotion on my account. The promotion code itself was never given to me, as I signed up for this online. 

I would like your assistance in retrieving this reward. Thank you.

I do not know the account number, the balance, who to dispute to, when it was opened, sold, transferred, charged off, payment history, dispute history, letters of collection, rights or terms and conditions, it is a complete and total mystery and I dispute in totality anything relating to this account. The account can not be validated per the FDCPA and the complete information I am looking to validate to take the proper action if I need to do that. I do not know who to contact or what to ask. Citibank directly needs to furnish all of this information to me since they are claiming the account as original creditor.

Complaint narrative:
Earlier this year I was online booking a flight. I found a good flight with XXXX XXXX that worked within the dates and times I needed to travel so I proceeded to book. As I was about to purchase, I received an add to apply for a Citi AAdvantage credit card and receive my checked bags free and some other benefites. I proceeded to apply. I was approved and continued with the purchase to be placed on my new Citi AAvantage card. 
When the transaction was complete, I checked and the tickets were booked for completely different dates than what I selected. I immediately called XXXX and explained the situation. XXXX was very unfriendly and told me that they will not give me credit for the flight as their system would not do, there is a {$200.00} change fee and the flight for the dates I really intended to book ( later in the month ) was almost {$300.00} more per ticket. I asked to speak to supervisors and was told sorry, they could not help me. 
I went back to XXXX online to replicate the situation and after selecting one date and waiting for a while, the system defaulted to a different date. I called back XXXX and explained my experience and they said unfortunately they could n't help me. I wrote to explain and still no help. 
I called Citi Bank to dispute the charge. They were very understanding and gave me a credit for the charge. Then I started to receive bills for the charge. I called back and Citi said they sent me a letter for me to send them a written proof of what happend. I explained that I did not receive any such letter. The supervisor said she will send out other paper work. I finally received, completed and sent back to Citi via mail. 
This has been almost two months ago. I am still receiving bills from Citi stating I am past due with no explanation. 

I belive XXXX and Citi Bank deceptively set up this product to get customers to apply for the carrd and unfairly charge for purchases. I would like my purchase to be credited as I did not use the flight. I was unable to travel on the dates that the flight was booked for. I would like any negative report on my credit bureau cleaned up.

Complaint narrative:
Complaint number XXXX about Citi Mortgage. We call over and over trying to speak with some one. Most of the time we get someone who does not even speak XXXX and we do not understand anything they are saying. We have to call back several times in a roll just to get a person we can understand. Then that person will not transfer us or even give a message to the person we are trying to reach. It is completely madding. Every email or letter we get always states we can contact them at any time. What a bold face lie that is. We spend hours trying to reach anyone that will talk to us and then never get them. At best we get to make an appointment for them to call us back and they never do. This has happened at least XXXX times that we wait for a call that never comes. Why will they not talk to us? Why will then not return calls? Why are they foreclosing on our home without even trying to talk to us?

Complaint narrative:
All of my CITI bank credit cards were closed without my permission. I was provided a letter which did not provide a specific reason nor did it provide a telephone number for me to call and obtain a specific reason. This is a violation of federal law ( Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ), as implemented by Regulation B, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ) I was not refunded the annual fees on any of my accounts, even though I just paid some of them. I paid every bill on time and did not engage in any illegal behavior or any behavior that violated the terms and conditions. CITIbanks actions are theft, breech of contract, violation of federal law, and possibly discrimination.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX/XXXX/16 I made payment in full on my Citibank XXXX XXXX credit card. Today I logged into my Citibank online account to get a copy of the statement showing that my balance was paid in full. To my surprise, I could download the XXXX statement, and the XXXX statement, but not the XXXX statement on which my payoff transaction would appear. I used the bank 's online Live Chat feature to contact them about the problem. Their representative, XXXX, stated that they do not provide statements when the account has a zero balance, so no statement was generated for XXXX 2016. I pointed out that I had made a large payment during that statement cycle, so there was a transaction on the account, & even though the ending balance was {$0.00}, the starting balance was not {$0.00}. I should therefore receive a statement for that month, which did have some account activity, as proof of my payment and of my zero balance due.
