Citibank Bank Account Or Service Complaint

Citibank Bank account or service department,

Checking account Deposits and withdrawals District of Columbia

Dear CPFB, At this point I feel as though I have no other choice than to involve a third party in order to get Citibank to cooperate with me and listen to my valid complaints. First and foremost, I have what was supposed to be a free checking account that I 've held for almost fifteen years without incident, but now almost never use. There appears to be many fees from Citibank attached to this so-called free checking account that I do not understand. Furthermore, when the account for some reason despite almost never being used became overdrawn, perhaps in part due to these mystery fees from Citibank, Citibank did NOT notify me. Instead, they allowed my overdraft account to become totally exhausted, in order to charge me additional interest and fees on the account, that much is clear, but rather than call me when this occurred, they sent me a letter which looked like an ordinary statement rather than call me. Citibank has claimed in said letter that they no longer have my contact information, even though none of it has changed in over ten years. This is either false on the part of Citibank, or it shows extreme


The most egregious part, is that even though I sent a certified letter to my branch begging them to please call me to answer my questions, they have ignored my request and instead reported my as DELINQUENT to the major credit bureaus. Without one phone call, and I have banked there for almost 15 years! I have very good credit, pay my bills on time, and have never been delinquent on a payment in my life, yet Citibank who I believe has a lot of explaining to do to ME in terms of this account has RUINED my hard earned credit. This should not be allowed to happen. They should be investigated and they should provide me with the answers I am seeking. I can only wonder how many others may be getting treated like this by a major financial institution who seems to think they have no accountability whatsoever to their customers. Regards, -
