Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I went to XXXX XXXX XXXX to purchase a used XXXX XXXX XXXX. The total price was given en route to the dealer despite having multiple calls prior XXXX. The grand total was {$13000.00}. I paid {$8000.00} in cash, {$5000.00} on personal check and the remaining $ XXXX on a credit card. The salesman told me my social was needed for DMV. He then used it to run a soft credit check which in fact was a hard inquiry. A policy the dealer has when using personal checks. The salesman told me he would drive me to the bank to avoid using the personal check and credit card and then within 1-2 minutes came back and said they already ran my credit. This is fraudulent and a horrible business practice. I spoke with the manager who only offered a solution of an apology and they will re-train their salesman. No consolation for me. Im applying for a mortgage and my score has dropped which means I have to pay points to get my rate back.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I have a Citi Double Cash Card since XXXX. I had enjoyed this card as it was my first rewards card. I have maxed this card out and paid off multiple times each time resulting in a credit increase. This year I experienced multiple hardships, the transmission went out on our car, my grandma passed away and I needed to pay for funeral expenses, and an unexpected tax bill. This did result in higher usage than normal, however I was never late on a single monthly payment. Fast forward to XXXX days ago, I was able to pay off approximately {$21000.00} to pay off the statement balance on my card. Today, I logged into my Citi App to confirm that the payment was applied. I was absolutely SHOCKED and DISGUSTED to learn that my credit limit had gone from approximately {$23000.00} to {$1300.00}. This is almost a 94 % reduction in my credit limit. I could not believe this, I just paid them over {$21000.00} and as a thank you they will be ruining my credit score, due to their decision to reduce my credit line by {$21000.00}. Then to make matters worse, the arbitrary amount of {$1300.00} they chose as my new credit limit puts my credit utilization over 50 % for this card when I thought I just paid off the balance. Furthermore the reduction in credit limit impacts my entire credit portfolio as this card has the largest credit limit of all of my cards. I am in the beginning stages of trying to buy a new home and thanks to Citi, this may not even be possible due to the harm they have caused. I think it is absolutely horrendous practice. While speaking with an agent today, I was informed that Citi is well within their right to decrease a credit limit as they see fit. I was admittedly very upset and had a few choice words for the initial agent I spoke with, whom ultimately thought my situation was not important enough to take seriously as she laughed at me while on the phone. I demanded to speak with a supervisor. She has stated that she would submit an appeal to have my credit limit restored. This practice is completely unfair and has ruined my future plans and all I did was pay my bills responsibly. Shame on Citi bank for treating a long time customer whom had never even made a late payment so poorly.
