Product: Checking or savings account — Savings account
Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Citibank didn't refund me the money in my account after closing my savings bank. I have called Citibank a lot of customer service calls but they are always making excuses. The reason I asked them about not refunding my money was because I deposited two checks in, and Citibank felt that there was a problem with one of them and asked me to contact the person who wrote me the check to talk to their bank. I made a special trip to his bank with the person who wrote me the check, and the bank told me that there was no problem with the check, and they had contacted Citibank to explain the situation. The bank told me that the check money had reached Citibank, and the bank could not make a claim without the check being ok. But I contacted Citibank customer service and the only option they gave me is that I need to go to this bank to make a claim, but the bank told me that if I want to make a claim, it will say that the check is stolen, so I can't do it Because there is nothing wrong with this kind of check. I was thinking that Citibank didn't want to refund my money, the only option they gave me was that if I wanted my money back I had to say that these two checks were stolen by me but I didn't, if I did it would affect me very bad. This is Citibank making a trap to make me jump, they just want to embezzle my money.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I logged into Synchrony 's website to check account balance and make a payment. Upon login I was presented with a prompt stating that my account had " incomplete information. '' There was only 1 available option to click so I did- which led me to review the information for my account. On the second page I see a prompt stating that my income is not updated. At that point my only option is to update my income or abandon the website. There was no option to update income later, or skip this step. 

This is NOT legal. Synchrony does not need my income for any purpose other than providing a credit line increase. My account is current - I have never had a late payment. 

This marketing gimmick prevents me from accessing my account unless I provide personal information which is not needed for account servicing and only used for additional marketing of products ( i.e., a credit line increase ). 

There is NO reason to block my account access. This is a text-book method of attempting to provide a service that the customer did not ask for- while simultaneously prohibiting access to my account which could result in a late payment. etc. 

This is Illegal Note in the screenshots below that Synchrony states and update is " REQUIRED '' in red menacing font. Once the customer chooses to see what they must update another prompt states that income is required. There is no other option.

That is not possible. No retailer is going to put that on their letterhead, and there is no way I can get to anyone at one that has the authority for this.
