Citibank Credit Card Complaint

Citibank Credit card department,

Credit line increase/decrease Florida

I contacted Shell Citibank - -. I called customer service. I asked them about a credit limit increase if it was a soft or a hard inquiry. I explained I was going to go for a major purchase and I ca n't have any hard inquiries on my credit. They said they could not answer this question. They said since you have a fraud alert to fill it out online and they will contact me before they pull the credit whether its soft or hard. This did not happen it was a hard pull the next day. I spoke to several supervisors the - - I spoke with said it would take up to 10 days to remove it. This did not happen. I dealt with citi executive response I spoke to a woman named - - she can be reached at -. She did nothing at her level to resolve the issue. She said because I filled out online with my income what I was told to fill out by customer service. That I authorized my credit to be ran. She did nothing to address the negligence and incompetence of the company representative misinforming me. She does not even care I might be denied for my large purchase because of this inquiry. I think this is a very dirty tactic that they play. I have allready filed a complaint with the ftc also. I am sick and tired of companys not being held accountable by people who work for them and misinform customers. Everything was all done over the phone. My credit was pulled once through -. - no longer allows you to dispute through the credit bureau only with the creditor.
