[Resolved]  Citibank — wrongly charged and forced to pay money on credit card number [protected]

Address:Mumbai City, Maharashtra

Dear Sir,
MY CREDIT CARD NUMBER IS [protected]
For the month of 13/08/11 to 12/09/11 I received a bill from Citibank (credit card) for which I was charged CPP ASSISTENCE & TRANSACTION FEES of Rs(1145+99).
I was been told that I wont be charged for the CPP assistance but still I was charged.
So I told Citi Bank that I was been told that it was for free & so I won’t pay the bill.
As a result they told me that the bill would be revised and I want be charged for anything.
My complaint number for this complaint ws-[protected]
On 13/09/11-12/10/11 I again received the Citi Bank credit card statement on which my CPP assistance was not reversed but instead I was charged with more late payment fees + interest on late payment fees (300+38) making my bill of Rs1626.57.I again made a complaint on which I was assured that in the next bill everything will be reversed and I need not pay a single Rupee
My complaint number for this complaint was[protected]
On 13/10/11-13/11/11 I received another Citi Bank statement on which some amount of my CPP assistance was reversed and my late payment fees was reversed but again I was charged with new late payment fees .when I again called up I was been told that you again need not pay anything right now and your matter will be taken up , & all your calls will be checked & if we were been told that CPP assistance was free than you wont be charged anything .(I WAS BEEN TOLD THAT A PERSON FROM CITI BANK WILL INFORM ME )
My complaint number for this was -6906
On 14/11/11-12/12/11 I again received Citi Bank card statement on which I was again charged late payment fees + interest making my total amount due of Rs1433.21/-.i again made a complaint on which I was been told that by 21/12/11 they would let me know the status whether I had to pay or not.
As I did not receive a call on 21/12/11 I again called on 23/12/11 on which I was told by 25/12/11 the will let me know whether I have to pay or not.
My complaint number for this complaint was 3574
Than suddenly on 12/1/12 I got a call from Citi Bank that I will have to pay the amount & more late payment fees will be charged to you As a result I asked them to cancelled my Citibank card as a result they gave my cancellation number which is 318458 .when I asked whether I could here the tape they said it is not possible.

My only problem is that
1. if I was to pay part payment on my CPP assistance why was I not told on my first complaint and was told on my third complaint
2. why I should pay late payment fees & interest there on as I was been told that I will get a reply in two days , which they failed to do so. Clearly a mistake on their part
3. when asked to listen to the tapes why was I denied as clear violation of right to information act


We are making a payment only that no further late payment fees and interest is charged to me

I am writing this letter in confidence that some action will be taken against such injustice and I will be re-imburse for the extra amount paid by me

Citibank — Wrongly billed amount

Hi, I used citibank credit card last year from Feb to june for almost Rs.20000 and started paying double of what is minimum due payment as when i called up citibank ask them to convert in into EMI they said we can't do it now. So started paying it from there till date paid almost Rs.15000.

Even after paying more than minimum due amount my total bill was not getting reduced so i told customer care people to check this and keep on sending new statement as usual with addiction charges which now shows Rs36000. I had several discussion with them but no result they don't know how to talk to customer properly. I am still ready to pay Rs.10000 to them but they are telling no u have to pay full amount. This is ridicules and i want a solution for it. The customer care people take so much time to respond on phone they keep on transferring calls from one person to the other. I have wasted so much time on this what should i do now.
Please advice.
i totally agree
