Consumer complaint received 2022-12-27 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account — Can't close your account
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I cancelled my Citibank/XXXX  XXXX XXXX credit card XXXX XX/XX/2022. 
In XX/XX/2022 Citibank verified that my account was closed. 
XX/XX/2022 Citibank charged my old checking account which had been closed and the charge was rejected by my bank. 
Apparently Citibank had paid my XXXX membership in XXXX, three months after the account was closed. 

I kept getting no-reply e-mails from Citibank billing XXXX for {$180.00} XXXX membership XXXX I could not pay Citibank the money because there was no contact information in these e-mails and my log-in had been cancelled. I called Citibank customer service several times and each time was told my account had been cancelled and to disregard those e-mails - I owe nothing. 
Then Citibank 's aggressive debt collectors started calling me and I paid them the {$180.00}. 
Then an overly aggressive Citibank agent called me and said I owed an additional {$170.00} in late fees and interest. As I am in my late eighties and as the stress was getting to me I paid the additional {$170.00}. 

Afterwards, I wrote a letter to XXXX XXXX, CEO of Citigroup Inc . I received a telephone reply from the " Citi XXXX XXXX XXXX '' during which the lady I spoke to maintained that " You should have made more attempts to pay your membership ''. When I asked what more could I have done she said I could have called the number on my Visa card - I said I did more then once and they always said I don't owe anything. She maintained I should have tried harder. 

The interest and late fees I was charged and paid ( {$350.00} ) amounted to 94 % of my XXXX membership ( {$180.00} membership plus {$170.00} fees and interest ). 94 % for six months equals 188 % interest and late fees annualized.

Sent a payment to a friend via Venmo. She says her account was frozen ( I received no such notification when making the payment ) and she can't obtain the payment. I contacted Venmo and they indicate that the payment was completed and they can't issue a refund. ( So it sounds like Venmo will just claim the funds ).

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My wife, XXXX, and I applied for a HELOC in XXXX of XXXX and were approved in XX/XX/XXXX. We had no issues with credit or the process per se. However, the reason we applied at that time was the Fed was preparing to raise interest rates. We are both fairly savvy financial people both personally and professionally. During the process, I asked my loan originator whether my loan was a fixed rate loan and she stated yes. This was done both verbally and in writing. Unfortunately, due to Bank of America 's secure email system, I can not pull any of her communications. 

We now find ourselves paying an adjustable rate HELOC that goes up each month by many basis points. We have never ever signed on for an adjustable rate loan due to the uncertainty of them. In fact, I asked a very pointed question if I drew down the entire XXXX would my interest rate be fixed until repayment. The answer was yes. 

I also NEVER received loan documents until I requested them this past XXXX which state variable rate.
