Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I made an online payment to Citi Bank on the Citi Bank web site. The money was withdrawn from my bank account. Now Citi Bank claims to not have received the payment and has no record of the payment. I called Citi Bank to dispute the payment and I am getting the run around. Citi Bank opened an investigation and than immediately closed the investigation without telling me. I have reopened an investigation with Citi Bank to resolve this issue. I am also contacting my bank from which the payment to Citi Bank was debited ( online my bank shows the Citi Bank payment as having been made ). But Citi Bank is calling up to 4-6 times a day. I have tried to get Citi Bank to note the account that there is a dispute but after speaking to XXXX people ( acct. representative, an acct. supervisor, and a billing representative ) Citi Bank states that they can not guarantee that I will not receive continued collection calls on this disputed payment. I spent over an hour on the phone with these XXXX getting conflicting information from each new person as to how this dispute can be resolved in an expiendient manner.

Opened an account with CitiBank on XX/XX/2016 and deposited {$50000.00}. Per the attached brochure I was supposed to receive a {$400.00} bonus on XX/XX/XXXX. As of XX/XX/XXXX have not received that bonus. Spoke to XXXX ( a supervisor in Customer Service in Texas ) and she indicated that the matter has been referred for investigation which can take another 10 days. She also indicated that when I receive my bonus that they will not provide back-dated interest. If the Bank makes an error then they should make me whole by providing interest for the lost use of funds.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage loan has been serviced by XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX - Exhibit XXXX. Prior to that, the servicing was assigned to CitiMortgage. While the loan servicing was handled by CitiMortgage, I filed a Chapter XXXX bankruptcy - Case # XXXX. Per the bankruptcy trustee 's disclosure, all mortgage payments in arrears ( {$15000.00} XXXX were paid through the plan - Exhibit XXXX. " Notice of Final Cure Payment '' was sent to CitiMortgage XX/XX/XXXX describing the same - Exhibit XXXX. 

Per the discharge of my Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy plan, my mortgage loan was current prior to the service transfer XXXX. XXXX issued notice that the account was past due {$3200.00} as of XX/XX/XXXX - Exhibit XXXX. XXXX refused to acknowledge and investigate the claim and payment history with the bankruptcy trustee. After further investigation on the CitiMortgage payment history, I found that XXXX payments were reversed totaling {$5800.00} - Exhibit XXXX. CitiMortgage has refused to acknowledge my requests to investigate the reason for the accounting reversals - Exhibit XXXX. 

Per the FDCPA, both XXXX and CitiMortgage are required to investigate any debt dispute within a matter of 30 days. XX/XX/XXXX XXXX issued a Default Notice and threatened to foreclose - Exhibit XXXX. The notice of default " NOD '' has a payment demand listed at {$4600.00} -- which was paid via cashier 's check -- Exhibit XXXX. XXXX has been cited in the past for escrow distortion, mortgage fraud, RESPA violations and illegal foreclosure on a long list of federal lawsuits. This case obviously fits in the same group. Based on my calculations, CitiMortgage is liable for a {$5800.00} refund and XXXX is liable for {$4600.00} refund. Since XXXX parties have ignored my requests for a voluntary refund, I am seeking your assistance on this matter. You can reach me via email XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX.

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is in follow-up to Complaint # XXXX filed on or about XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 
This claim was addressed by Citi Financial in XX/XX/XXXX and my credit reports were updated. However, in XXXX, XXXX, this XXXX mortgage in the amount of {$22000.00} reappeared on my credit report ( See attachment ) and I started receiving bills stating that I 'm approximately {$9800.00} past due. This issue with CitiFinancial is starting to run my credit score down again. 
This has to be illegal for a company to destroy a person 's credit and not take responsibility for their actions. Again, I work for a " Reputable Financial Institution '' in the Mortgage area and I know I 've been violated over and over again as a consumer. PLEASE HELP ME ENFORCE THIS COMPLAINT ... .I DO NOT HAVE TIME TO INVEST OVER AND OVER TRYING TO GET THIS ISSUE CLEARED UP, WHICH IS NOW INTO IT 'S 3RD YEAR.

Complaint narrative:
COn XXXX/XXXX/2015, I overpaid my balance on my Citibank card ending with XXXX, leaving me with a credit balance of XXXX. I called Citibank and asked for a check reimbursing me for the credit balance and they agreed to send it. After a couple of weeks when it had n't arrived, I called again and they said they would cancel the XXXX check and send a new one. Neither check ever arrived. I called a XXXX time, and again they said they would cancel and reissue a check and double-checked my address ( I get junk mail from them all the time, so they do have the correct address ). None of the checks ever arrived. I called again on XXXX/XXXX/2015 and spoke to " XXXX '' who said he would transfer the money directly to my bank account. I gave him my bank information and double-checked it with him, but the money never arrived. 
Citi has cheated me out of my credit balance. It no longer shows on my account online. What should I do?

Complaint narrative:
I am reporting FirstKey to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because they have remained unresponsive to my many requests through their online message center ( which promises response within 48 hours ) and several of my phone calls to customer service over the past few months. I switched homeowner insurance providers back in ate XXXX 2015 and since then have been paying for my homeowners insurance out of pocket. My new insurance company XXXX XXXX XXXX submitted all forms to FirstKEy verifying that this is so ( twice now! ), yet FirstKey has failed to follow up on my requests to adjust my monthly loan amount to deduct for the fact that homeowner insurance payments should no longer be rolled into the amount due for my monthly mortgage payments. I have messaged them many times in writing and I have called on XXXX different occasions and talked with a customer service agent to try and get the issue fixed. The agents never follow through once we are off the phone and so I am still being billed for the homeowners insurance. I need someone to help me escalate. This is the third company my loan has been sold to since I bought my first home in XXXX and they are the worst. Please help me! 
Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
My house was destroyed by a Tornado in XXXX, Ill on XXXX XXXX, 2015. Everybody involved has been great with the standard exception of Citi Finance. My insurance Company, XXXX XXXX issued me a check to begin the reconstruction of the house and since I still had a Mortgage it was issued in the mortgage company 's name also. Not being familiar with this process and not having any trust in the mortgage co. I wanted to know what the procedure was and why they had to have control of rebuilding my house. Which I still believe is none of their business as long as the property value exceeds the value of the old property. I went to their office in XXXX XXXX, Ill and talked to the Center Manager, XXXX XXXX. He called the office that was to handle the money. The name of the dept is Citi Escrow services Lost Draft Dept. He informed me that they would send me information after receipt of the check in the mail. And that further they would distribute the funds afterwards as needed. Well Now I am told that Contractors have to fill out documents and then a dispersal will be done at XXXX increments over the span of reconstruction. This is not what was explained to me. They lied just to gain access to the funds and are now telling me that is the procedure period. I have a house I need to demo. It is a hazard and has been sitting there since the XXXX and they could care. This company has a habit of enticing you into any situation they want.

At the end of XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Citicard about an offer to spend {$1000.00} in XXXX months and receive a {$150.00} XXXX gift card. I needed to purchase a laptop. I remember speaking with a gentleman at that time who confirmed the above information which I had found online. He sent me a card in the mail - last XXXX numbers XXXX. I made my XXXX purchase on XX/XX/XXXX A few weeks later I contacted the company about a new card because I could n't find mine. They cancelled the above card and sent me a new XXXX - last XXXX numbers XXXX. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted the company about receiving my {$150.00} XXXX gift card. I have made around {$1200.00} in purchases to date. The woman I spoke with told me that I had not made my purchases within the allotted amount of time. Of course I disagreed with her stating that I should have till at least the middle of XXXX. She then told me that I had opened this card at the end of XX/XX/XXXX After speaking with a number of reps. including XXXX managers, I 'm being told that I opened a card at the end of XXXX ( XXXX I do n't remember opening ) and that the guy I spoke with at the end of XXXX cancelled out that old card and pre-dated the XXXX card to that date which only left me a few weeks to charge the {$1000.00} in order to get the {$150.00} XXXX gift card. He never mentioned any of this to me in fact he lied to me when he told me I had XXXX months. Even if I had opened a card, which I really question the legitimacy of that claim, he should have said something. My recent conversations with customer service confirmed to me that this old card had never been activated and no charges had been put on it. Regardless of how I 've tried to explain the issue I received no help. They continue to refuse to honor the offer and reward me with the {$150.00} gift card.

Re : Exxon/Mobil gas credit card - credit price vs. cash price. 
Previously, when I have used our business gas card my regular Mobil station ( s ) has applied the lower, cash price, to the gas card transaction. On XXXX/XXXX/15, while at an unfamiliar Mobil station, I was charged the higher, credit price, for my gas card transaction. 
This seems to be, at some level, a bit of consumer information fraud. The lack of consistency is XXXX thing, the failure to disclose to the consumer is yet the large issue. The consumer has no way of knowing the amount he/she will be charged ( cash or credit price ) when using their Exxon/Mobil gas credit card until starting the actual transaction. 

I 'm surprised this has not become a class-action lawsuit yet. 
Thank you for investigating.

I had a dispute for XXXX and they will not give me my money back. I had repairs done on a vehicle and the vehicle was not repaired correctly. I could not reach the merchant due to them being sick. He also was XXXX and spoke very little English and was not aware on how to send a credit once i was able to reach them, after the dispute was already submitted. The merchant did not dispute the charge and did not respond to the banks request for additional info. Instead of giving me my money back like all other banks do, they asked for a third party letter from another mechanic showing what should have been done on car and was n't done. I then got the letter from another mechanic and sent to them. they then said we need a receipt from merchant and then provided that, now they are saying that I have no case cause it took more than 120 days to get all info in. Which makes no sense since they would ask for additional info after every letter I sent, and have not sent a letter from a third party mechanic and a receipt and they still have denied my claim. so now im out the car and my XXXX, the car was not operable after all these repairs that totaled over XXXX all together, which the other charges were all refunded from other banks I used, but citibank is the only one that will not give me my XXXX back ... please help

Complaint narrative:
Hello CFPB, After applying for a home loan refinance, I discovered that my current HELOC with Citibank Account # XXXX was not being reported correctly to the credit bureaus. Citi reported the loan with a XXXX outstanding balance. This is not the case as the attached statement will attest. Due to this error in credit reporting, my refinance mortgage company can not submit the loan package to underwriting and the loan is currently at a stand still and due to time constraints I am in danger of losing my loan rate lock. To move forward with the loan they requested a letter from Citi stating the following : " To fix your credit here are the items we need in a letter from Citibank : - State that the reported {$0.00} balance is an error - State the current loan balance amount - State that the loan has been paid every month as agreed for the last 12 months - State that there are No Disputes associated with the loan ( if it is still in dispute in their system tell them that you are no longer disputing anything ) - Include the loan number and name of the borrowers '' I contacted Citibank on XXXX/XXXX/2016 and spoke with customer service rep XXXX, explained the situation and requested the letter with the above statements. He opened a support case # XXXX, said it would take XXXX5 business days to receive the letter. 
I called Citi back XXXX and was informed that my case was closed, and that they could not produce any letter and offered no help to resolve the incorrect credit reporting error.
