I would like to draw your attention towards a lingering issue with my citibank credit card ending with 6642, since 25 march 2020. My card has been deactivated since the specified date and i have been pursuing your support relentless via multiple channels to get the issue sorted. However, the card remains inactive.
I have failed to receive any conclusive justification from citi support as to why the card has not been activated despite my clear payment track records for the last 12+ years and also clearing out the latest outstanding amount.
To summarise the background for this issue for your reference : an older card ending with 9429 which was requested to be closed had an outstanding of inr 148, for which the statement was generated after the card was closed. As i was informed that the credit limit for this card would be transferred to my card ending with 6642, i believed there were no outstanding. As the closed card was not reflecting in my account and credit limit was transferred, i had no ways of validating.
It was only on 25 march 2020, i came to know that the card has been linked and not closed and the outstanding of inr 148 has triggered deactivation of my actively used and paid card ending with 6642.
After repeated followups with support teams, there was no conclusive response and i was being asked to clear the outstanding on both cards, which i have alreday done. However, despite all this, i'm being informed that the card cannt be activated.
This untimely deactivation of the card and having to repeatedly followup to get this sorted has been extremely stressful and troublesome. I would like to request you to please look into this matter as i always maintained a clear payment track records with citibank and have a green cibil score.
Citibank customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
I would like to echo the same that I have been charged IGST of 18% throughout the pandemic.
