Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I had a promotional balance expiring on XX/XX/2024. On XX/XX/2024 I called the credit card company to make a payment towards the promotional balance. The customer service rep told me in clear terms that since we were within the 30 day period before the promotional balance ended, any payment made would automatically be applied towards the promotional balance. My intention was to pay roughly half of the promotional balance on XX/XX/XXXX and then the remainder on XX/XX/XXXX. I NEVER pay by phone, always online. I specifically made the phone payment and told them to apply to the promotional balance. They did not object and said it would be applied automatically. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I logged onto my account to make a payment only to see that my previous payment had not gone towards the promotional balance as I had specifically requested and been told that it would. I called the credit card company to inquire as to why it did not and to make sure they corrected the issue. The rep told me that they could not do that and that only the amount of the payment above the minimum payment would apply towards the promotional balance. The rep I spoke to on XX/XX/XXXX specifically told me that prior to the 30 day closing period before the end of the promotional balance, excess payments go toward the promotional balance. However, once you are within the 30 day period ALL payments go toward the promotional balance. 

I asked to speak to a supervisor and was given many excuses for why they were unable to get me to a supervisor. I was put on hold for 30 minutes until they disconnected me. 

These practices are downright predatory and fraudulent.

Complaint narrative:
The conspicuous lack of concrete evidence substantiating its reliability, coupled with the circulation of unverified information, constitutes a flagrant violation of the statutory provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). Such regulatory non-compliance is not merely disconcerting but also vexing, considering the paramount importance of adherence to legal mandates. Consequently, I emphatically endorse the prompt deletion of this account in alignment with the stipulated regulations, unless credible evidence is promptly furnished to affirm its authenticity. The failure to promptly rectify this matter further compounds the exasperation stemming from the disregard for legal protocols.

I was contacted earlier this year by XXXX XXXX XXXX, which claimed to be collecting on an account sold to them by Citigroup which had gone delinquent.

XXXX insisted that I had opened the account and has continued with collections activity, including filing suit, which I have denied. I am now preparing to fight the case in court. I believe my case is an example of synthetic fraud, with someone having stolen some elements of my identity and then applied for credit utilizing them and another bank account, phone, email, etc. 

- The date XXXX claims the original account was opened was XX/XX/XXXX. 
- They claim the account charged off on XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX amount in question is claimed to be {$5300.00} - I replied to XXXX in early XXXX, and challenged the account and requested arbitration, which appears to have been granted. 

I do not have a full Citigroup credit card account number ( this has not been supplied to me, but the account has been referred to as XXXX. 

XXXX 's internal account number for the case is XXXX.
