Consumer Narrative
I closed on the sale of my XXXX on XX/XX/22 with a HELOC payoff amount communicated to me by Citizens Bank on XX/XX/22. Upon further review, the payoff amount quoted by Citizens ( {$620000.00} ) is roughly {$1800.00} more than I should have owed. I believe this to be due to a glitch in Citizens systems whereby some of my prior accrued interest may have been capitalized incorrectly ( even though I attempted to pay the amount due, it was not paid ). I would be willing to even accept this glitch, but even if the interest was capitalized, it should have been relieved from my accrued interest. Therefore, my interest balance on the payoff document was much too high. I have all the supporting documentation to prove this. I have attempted to resolve this issue with Citizens customer service for 4 months ( 1 call per week lasting about 30 minutes each ) and am finally giving up and taking every available legal recourse I can. I am constantly told my Citizens that their " back office is handling this '' and that I will receive a summary of the calculations justifying the payoff amount. This has turned out to be a lie. Based on my other dealings with Citizens while applying for and servicing the debt, I am starting to think that this may be due to corporate malfeasance rather than simple incompetence. Case number XXXX with Citizens.
