My credit card payment due date is 4th April, but the minimum due amount was deducted from my account on 3rd April. And I paid 100% due payment on 3rd April . than why the extra charges apply on my credit card . please refund the amount deduced incorrectly .

Also after deduction of money and 100% payment, in account statement the payment date is mentioned as 4th April which should be 3 April as I did the payment on 3rd April.
For the past two days I am getting OTP on my mobile which I have neither asked nor performed any transactions in any POS using my credit card. Yesterday, I have complained about this to the City phone banking officer. Still, I have received another OTP today. Kindly verify this to protect my card from any possible misuse.
Thanks.
Tried to call on customer care but no response . Not expected this from citi bank .

        Dear sir/madam,
        Please note for the confirmation received from citi bank credit card dept regarding payment issued for insurance.
        For your kind information nobody talk to me about payment/information/permission/reminder etc..
        We already refuse to stop the royal sundaram medical insurance long back. Now deducted rs[protected] through my credit card. Please make sure reverse the amount rs 13814=00 to my credit card.

        Kindly confirm receipt.

        Thanks,

          My Citi Bank credit card billing cycle is 22nd to 21st of each month and the ill gets generated on 22nd of each month and payment due date is 7th of next month. For the expenses incurred during the month of Feb and March, the bill was generated on 22.03.2016 and I received a message at 9.32 AM that your bill has been generated. However, at 3.20 PM on 22.03.2016 I received that the payment for card is overdue and my card was blocked with immediate effect. When I asked them, they are saying that I did not make full payment for last month, however, the card bill was paid in full by few reversals and I paid the balance amount and they never brought this to my notice in March after the payment was completed from my side. This month they forced me to pay card bill at least 15 days in advance, Kindly take note of this malpractice and help me get the resolution done. There is discrepancy between online statement and email statement as well.

          1. My card should be unblocked immediately and in future if it is being blocked I should be intimated that this is going to happen.
          2. They can't generate a bill at 9.32 AM and say that it is overdue at 3.20 PM on same day despite the payment due date is 15-17 days away.
          3. This kind of arbitrary decision on part of the banks should be penalized and penalties paid to consumer for mental torture and financial blackmailing

            Citibank NA, Fort, Mumbai has closed my Personal Account and delinked my Credit Card without providing sufficient reason.
            My credit card had 40k+ points valued approx. Rs.40k.
            I have another bank account in same branch which the bank has left open and untouched.
            Upon my request to link credit card and points to the open Acc. CITIBANK is refusing.

              Today i have found an offer for citi bank card holders on agoda.com in hotel bookings. I wanted to see how much discount is offered using citi bank card, so entered some 4 days and pressed pay. To my surprise Rs.26590 has been paid without any further authentication. Where as in your web site it is clearly stated that either OTP or IPIN is required. As not generating OTP as mentioned caused this damage, it is your duty to correct it. So immediately pay back the money which has been transferred accidentally because of not generation of OTP. I also state that if any transaction happens from now on without OTP on my credit card, i will not be liable for it.

              Please resolve my issue and provide justice

                  This is regarding citybank personal loan LZXUNT7357995, which is opened 03-Mar-2016. Due to some unexpected issues, I can't continue with this loan, as there will be financial crisis and I will not be able to repay the loan. So I requested citybank to cancel this loan and I am ready to pay back the amount credited in my account, also ready to pay the cancellation charges. As per citybank executives they don't have option of neither cancellation nor close the loan and telling I could close the loan only after 12 months.Most of the banks have an option of cancellation not sure why the same is not available in citybank, since my EMI start for this loan as per the schedule they given is May 2016, since the first EMI will be take too long to start and there will not be any issues with the bank that I am ready to pay pack the loan amount given plus any additional charges, why is it stopping the bank to not to cancel this loan. Please help and provide a resolution on the same.

                    Address: Vadodara, Gujarat

                    Background

                    Citibank NRE/NRO account had been opened back in 2005 / 2006 and was open due to 'Zero account balance maintenance for life'. This account was used periodically on as and when required basis.

                    In Nov 2015, I received an email to update KYC documents and was sent straight away to Indian address. I receive confirmation on 4th Dec 2015 that KYC details have been updated.

                    Even after that, I have been received account closer email notices. I believe that it was just a glitch in Citibank system and these mails are auto generated ( if I don't update KYC than Citi bank will close the account)

                    Current situation

                    On 28th Dec, 2015, Citibank actually closed both the accounts due to 'No Transection in account for more than 2 years'

                    Despite my best efforts to communicate with Citibank, I have not received any proper explanation or result.

                    Interpretation of the situation

                    Being an NRI, is it fair to close the account on 2 years No transaction basis?
                    Both NRE/NRO accounts do have funds and generate periodic interest as well.
                    It shall be completely my wish, when and how I shall use my funds
                    Other banks put NRE/NRO accounts in Dormant if not been used for long time and ask identity proof to re-activate but do not closed the account after some email notices
                    The main reason to closed the account, I believe is, The account doesn't require any minimum balance maintenance.

                    Expected Actions from CitiBank

                    Citibank shall provide an explanation regarding Un-fair policy for closing NRE / NRO account
                    Re-activate accounts with same previous terms and conditions

                        CitiBank deactivated my current Debit card(validity11/2017) without giving me a single information my current card had validity till 2017 and when I tried to withdraw cash in emergency at 2AM in night it gave me error that current card is deactivated.
                        Please help me as CitiBank is not at all listening me at this emergency moment.
                        Their behaviour and way of talking is also very rude to me.
                        I am in need of money and cant withdraw my own money at emergency.
                        Please look into the issue as I am feeling so helpless and contacting National Consumer Forum having full faith in you and Govt of India.

                          Iam the customer of Citibank since 8 years and i used as a salary account.Since last 2 month Citibank deducts 600 +87 rupees as the NRV as the account was not maintaining 1 Lakh in the account.This was not informed me and now i have to cancel this account.As iam staying in US and i was not in regular touch with bank and bank says they have sent me an email and the concern letter to my address.But i have not received any information on this.The 1300 rupees for a normal customer.Maining 1 Lakh as a saving account is also on the higher side.Kindly co-operate and help me get the amount back.Iam raising this complaint as the citibank not even informed me on any of the communication channels.

                            I am old customer of Citibank using various products of Citibank including Credit Card. This month on 3rd of February, I made credit card payment via cheque. The cheque got rejected by Citibank saying Amount in figures and words do not match. I thought, I might have done some mistake while writing figure in words, so I issued another cheque on 5th which was also rejected by Citibank. I called up Citibank to enquire the proper reason and I came to know that the format which I am using to write figures in words is not acceptable by Citibank. The amount was Rs. 49611/- which I have written in words like "Four Nine Six One One Only". I am issuing the cheque in same fashion since I started writing cheques and my cheque was never rejected by any financial institution including Citibank. I have furnished the proof to Citibank that even in month of November 2015, I have issued the cheque in same format and it was accepted by Citibank. Even I have given cheques in Decemeber and January months with the same format but I do not have a copy of those. I requested Citibank to provide me the rule or notice from RBI saying that this format is not acceptable. They do not have any such document. They took 9 working days to come back to me with empty hands. Also they promised me call back but never got any call from them. I had to follow with them with the status. Today I received the call from Citibank where Citibank customer service manager told me that they dont have any written document about the same and insisted me to write the cheque in different manner. I told them that I had to visit the ATM couple of times to drop the cheque which costed me time and money. Also I have gone through lot of mental torture during this period. Because of this incident my credit rating also will be affected and impact my eligibility while borrowing loan. Citibank has given me compensation of Rs. 5000/- for all this matter which is not at all adequate. But I accepted it as they said its the best they can give me.

                            Now I would like to know has RBI any rule saying that amount in words should be in lakh, thousand, hundred, ten format e.g. Rs. 49611 (in words "Forty Nine Thousand Six Hundred Eleven Only") or I can write word for every digit in the amount for e.g. Rs. 49611/- (in words "Four Nine Six One One Only").

                            If I am not at fault, I would like Citibank should give me written apology and reconsider the compensation they have offered to me.

                            I have not got any rule book saying the format is not allowed. The CITIBANK has given me compensation of Rs. 5000 which is very very less for the mental trauma I have gone through for the resolution of the issue without my mistake. Also the precious time of mine and expenses I have incurred in following up. Also they warned me that, if I give the cheque in the same format, it will be rejected. I am amused by their statement and thinking whether CITIBANK makes the rules in India or the RBI and Govt. of India.

                                    As on date, I have no credit card.
                                    Once upon a time CITIbank representative came to my Factory for their own interest for giving credit card in which I have applied but I am not getting any card.
                                    Then how it is showing or coming in my CIBIL report.
                                    I think this type of bank should not go to door to door for advertising as it is creates problem to the normal life style of general people like us.

                                      Subject: Complaint Regarding Citibank (Should be Dealt With Urgency)

                                      Hi,

                                      This is Shivender Pratap Singh (CITI AC No : [protected]) would like to register a complaint against citibank.
                                      I have an Insurance Account linked to my salary account. When i opened this account on 29th Oct 2015 i clearly stated that the insurance should start from January but to my astonishment the premium was deducted from my account in month on 30 november itself. Bank did not even thought of notifying me regarding this which i believe is unethical as being an account holder i have the right to be notified of any ECS being taken out of my account well in advance.

                                      Lets continue the story, after December no premium got deducted from my account until 30th Jan 2016. I called citibank twice enquiring why the premium was not deducted in month of January, i was told by citibank phone rep that the policy is inactive and i should hear back from them within 48 hours. That did not happen till now. I got salary credited in my account on 30th January and here she goes they deducted the premium as soon as i got my salary. Again no communication happened on this part and i received a sms regarding this transaction one day later. Now you guys again deducted the premium on 6th Feb 2016 for which i received the SMS.

                                      As an account holder it is my right that i should be notified of the transaction being made on my account. I got this insurance from Citi while opening my account and as far as i am concerned there is always a fixed date when we have to pay our premium or EMI, bank just cant deduct the premium as and when they want and that too without notifying the account holder well in advance. This is completely insane and unethical on the banks part.

                                      I called Citi yesterday complaining about the same and the lady told that there is no supervisor on the floor and i should get a callback within 2 hours. 24 hours have passed and no calls yet.

                                      I need this insurance policy cancelled and all the premiums should be credited back to my account ASAP.
                                      I am going to lodge a complaint against the bank on consumer forum as well and i am going to take this on social media.

                                      Please do the needful.
