Consumer Narrative
I am writing this letter to file a complaint against Citizens Bank. I applied for a mortgage with Citizens all the way back in XX/XX/2020 and I am still waiting to close the loan so that I can use the cash for my project yet the bank is stalling the process by constantly telling me that I am almost there without giving out any details or properly responding to my messages. Most messages to my loan processor are not returned. I could have worked with another bank if they honestly told me that it would take longer than 6 months to get a mortgage from Citizens but I have wasted many months waiting for them to close this loan so that I can move on with my life. The loan officers try to make your application look as if you just started the process in order to make the back log numbers under control by telling customers that their file has just been completed months after the customer 's original application date. If you audit this bank you will also notice that they have a long back log of customers waiting for an approval since they have very poor IT infrastructure. It is very common for them lose your documents and and ask for bits and pieces of documentation although I have provided the same document months ago. Institutions with poor infrastructure like Citizens are slowing down flow of credit to XXXX consumers despite tremendous efforts our government has provided in order to prop up the XXXX economy. However credit is being held up by institutions like this due to poor management and poor infrastructure. I have significant amount of documentation I can provide to show how poorly managed the underwriting process is.
