Product: Credit card — 
Issue: Transaction issue — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I have a Macys Credit Card. They have me on electronic statements. I usually go to their credit website once per month - see my statements, and current balances - and pay what is due. To avoid interest - if I purchased furniture - I pay off the minimum due in the length of time allowed for the special purchase. 

The problem is this : for the last week Macy 's credit website is not working. I ca n't see ANYTHING about my credit balance, statement, payments. I ca n't make or schedule a payment. I have a screen shot of the error that occurs. This is happening to everyone - yet Macy 's is NOT being forthright and honest and upfront about it. There is nothing whatsoever on their regular site indicating a problem with the credit site. In fact the error that occurs appears to blame the issue on the customer " an error has occurred - time to call customer service ''. Ridiculous. I finally went into the Macy 's store where I requested a Manager. She was unable to personally get into her Macy 's account on the website either. NO COMMUNICATION WAS SENT TO THE STORE MANAGERS THAT THERE WAS A CREDIT SITE ISSUE. She called Customer service on my behalf and got the runaround - and incorrect information - and what we all get when calling Macy 's customer service. They acted like " what, the credit site is down? ". She refused to give up and told them - YES, the credit site is down. They finally relented - and said - YES, the credit site is down. This is Macys Customer Service? Who the customer is directed to call when receiving the error that the credit site is down? AFTER XXXX DAYS OF BEING DOWN? And they act like it 's news to them? The Store Manager requested that I be put back on paper statements so I could avoid the hassle of the site being down. At first she got the run-around AGAIN from Macy 's Customer Service - they told her they could not do it - and that I had to do it ONLINE AT THE CREDIT SITE. Yes, the credit site that has been DOWN FOR XXXX days. She made it clear how absurd that was - and they finally relented and switched me to paper statements. But this will take several months. So, I have to make a blind payment - without knowing whether the amount is correct for me to avoid interest. I have no idea what I have been charged - what transactions posted to my credit card - nothing. What is the most frustrating is that Macys appears to be hiding this from consumers. Most legitimate banks and stores - post information about their website technical difficulties and downtimes on their site. Macy 's says nothing. After XXXX days - nothing on their site - and I still ca n't get into their credit site. I have gone online and found others who are having the exact same issue. I would not be surprised if Macy 's denies that there is even an issue. If this complaint allows me to attach documents I will show the error screens received when I try and login to the Macy 's credit site.
