Citibank Student Loan Complaint

Citibank Student loan department,

Non-federal student loan Dealing with my lender or servicer Trouble with how payments are handled Texas

They continue to apply the loan payment incorrectly despite specific directions on the check and multiple contacts and notes on the file with customer service. This has made it past due on multiple occasions. The check clearly states to " apply excess to loan x '' as it is our plan to put even a little extra money to help pay it off early. Yet they continue to apply the entire amount to loan x making us " delinquent '' on the other accounts. I have spoken with multiple representatives who have verified that they understand what it means to apply excess to loan x. As this has necessitated calling in multiple times this brings me to another concern, there is no easy way to speak to a representative. You can not push -, but instead have to listen as they detail that the payment is late and would you like to make a payment. The truth is the payment is not late and this call is to remedy the mistake made by the company and yet I can not speak with a representative until over 5 minutes later. For those of us who work ( especially multiple jobs ) there is not always time to spend 5 minutes going through an automated system and then explain the situation to a representative who says they will do what they can, but that this is how the system works. The system needs to be remedied so that simple directions can be followed on the written checks and applied correctly, making it no longer necessary for multiple calls by the consumer. Further this even helps the company as they do not have to call or email about delinquent accounts that are actually not delinquent.
