Consumer complaint received 2024-08-31 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — Application denials
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have been banking with Citibank since XXXX and have had several mortgage loans and a HELOC over the years. The mortgage loan and HELOC were paid off in XX/XX/XXXX. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, I applied for a {$100000.00} HELOC on my current primary residence ( in Florida ) to fund a special assessment on my condominium property. The application process was arduous ( for the amount of the loan request ). Citibank requested many additional documents, which were provided promptly. My credit details were : 1. Credit Score > XXXX 2. Loan to value less than 10 % ( Citibank appraisal of {$1.00} XXXX ). 
3. No existing mortgage debt ( subject property is free and clear ). 
4. Own a second home free and clear ( value of {$670.00} thousand ). 
5. Income is derived from two pensions, Social Security, part-time work, and income/dividends from investment accounts. 

My credit history is unblemished, I good liquidity, low debt and a good net worth. 

A counteroffer was made at {$38000.00}, apparently based on the fact that my debt-to-income ratio was too high. I contacted the mortgage representative and indicated that I had {$220.00} XXXX in liquid assets and {$1.00} XXXX in an IRA with XXXX XXXX, which I felt had not been considered in their analysis of the loan request. Furthermore, I indicated that I would have to take Required Minimum Distributions from the IRA beginning in XXXX which would be approximately {$75.00} to {$80.00} XXXX annually. I also stated that funds in the IRA could be withdrawn at any time without penalty to support payment of any debt. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, the HELOC request was declined for : 1 ) Insufficient income for the total obligation and 2 ) Insufficient Citi banking relationship for the loan request. 

I believe that Citibank 's underwriting practices are discriminatory in that other sources of income such as withdrawals from IRA accounts whether discretionary or required are not taken into consideration, and that accommodation is not made for such potential source of income. 

Subsequent to the decline of the HELOC application, Citibank has sent me two mortgage loan offers ( up to {$2000.00} off on closing costs ). This seems incongruent and is insulting.

Company: VALLEY NATIONAL BANCORP
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I closed on the property at XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and Valley Bank was my lender.on XX/XX/XXXX I now found out that the property is now unhabital and so I wanted to deferred my monthly payment until I get matters sorted out.The bank note state " owners occupancy '' but I can't move in because my cess-pool is under concrete and its not funtionable and all the pipes are rotten. It's has been there since XXXX and I now need a new one. How do I live in a house without a cess-pool? In addition Valley Bank used a certificate of occupancy to close the house which was last update in XXXX even though they were aware that work was done to the house in XX/XX/XXXX, as a result I am incurring violations for unpermittted work I had nothing to do with for XXXX of thousands of dollars of which money I do not have. The certificate of occupancy that was used to close does not match the building as it is today. Valley Bank was aware that this was a bank owned property and did not do an inspection to ensures that's it is livable to some extent since they had a stipulation of " owners occupancy. '' I was not aware that this property was bank owned and that no lived in it for 6 years.Valley Bank wants me to pay a mortgage due XX/XX/XXXX for something I am not able to live inside. So XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX did a three way call to valley bank Mortgage department 5 times to get some assistance to deferred the mortgage so I can sort out all the legal issues I have. All five time Valley Bank mortgage department comes on the line and then disconnected the phone calls. Valley bank has done wrong to me in every way possible and now they are trying to bully me. I need help in deferring the mortgage until I can figure out how to get this house livable-a stipulation Valley Bank demanded from me. How can I pay for something I can't live in? How Valley Bank allow the certificate of occupancy to be used for closing that did not match the building? They were the most important component of this transaction and they paid out over half a XXXX dollars on my behalf without securing my investment.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
My credit card payments with Barlcays are set up to automatically be done a week before the payment due date each month, and I have done this for several years and always paid in full. There was a delay in transferring funds to the account that the payments are withdrawn from, and this led to an {$29.00} overdraft fee on XX/XX/year>XXXX  for the credit card payment of {$2600.00}. The payment was automatically re-attempted and went through successfully. I contacted customer service regarding waiving the {$29.00} overdraft fee especially since the payment is still not due until XX/XX/year>XXXX  and I have been a customer in good standing for several years with a high credit score. The charge is unfair for a payment that is not even late and disrespects the customer relationship, and they said they can not do anything, which I find hard to believe.
