Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have a Citibank credit card. I went to a Citibank branch on Monday, XX/XX/2024, to make a credit card payment. I gave the bank teller my valid drivers license and cash for my minimum payment due. The teller refused my cash payment because I dont have a Citibank deposit account. I informed the teller I am a Citibank customer and making a payment for my Citibank credit card. Again, she refused to take my payment because I dont have a Citibank deposit account. I dont want a Citibank deposit account. I need to make my credit card payment in order to avoid a 30 day late payment which could have a long term negative impact on my credit reports and scores. Citibank prohibited me from making a payment to my credit card. This is egregious. A deposit account is irrelevant. A customer is a customer. No customer should be denied the ability to make a payment. This is an unfair and abusive act.

Company: CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION, THE
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
The team claims to have conducted a thorough investigation, but have furnished no proof. I was sent a letter detailing notes a receptionist made in a computer so Charles Schwab has deemed my claim closed. No thorough due diligence was completed- only claims accepted by said receptionist who provided inaccurate information on a separate occasion- this was shared with Schwabs team. No proof. The team has been largely dismissive - its not an amount of a claim, its the principle that as a customer, the bank should be upheld to basic practices in a similar capacity to other XXXX XXXX, especially being under the umbrella of the FDIC and as such, the benefactor of a variety of protections said membership affords the institution. I have to wonder what Reg W and similarly related anti fraud activities Charles Schwab might be negligent in ensuring the safety of a consumers account.
