Consumer Narrative

On XX/XX/2023, I received a notification from my credit bureau that my credit rating has decreased. This was due to citizens bank decreasing my credit limit from {$20000.00} to {$7600.00}. This created a windfall of negative results for me. For example, it created an increase in minimum payment from {$53.00} to {$200.00} ; a credit bureau utilization change from less than 30 % to 95 %. This decrease resulted in a decreased credit rating with all three credit bureaus. I received to date no notification from Citizens Bank. I called them to inquire and spoke with the most insensitive manager in creation a XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. He explained that the automatic payment of {$30.00} they received did not cover the minimum payment of {$53.00} so they lowered my credit rating as a result. Today I did not receive a phone call or letter from Citizens bank. I was not assessed a late fee for the four day late payment. The banks report to the credit bureaus for 30 days late. Citizens reported a credit decrease instead which is more damaging to my credit rating. Is this how Citizens Bank treats their good customers? Penalties for being four days late for {$23.00}? All I needed was a courtesy call or a letter stating the payment wasnt satisfied. This is an easy resolution as I have enough funds in my checking account to cover it. This was an easy resolution. While visiting my branch office, a Citizens bank officer offered me this credit that I did not initially request or need. They gave me a $ XXXX credit limit only to snatch it away on a technicality. I ask again is this how good customers are treated? Furthermore, there is no one to contact except writing to the office of the chairman. There is no customer advocacy group to call no email address to write to, only an insensitive manager to speak to. Your prompt response will be greatly appreciated. In addition, I visited the XXXX NY branch on XX/XX/XXXX, since their representative initially offered me the credit card. They contacted the credit department, who sent me a letter, finally, in an email. I received notification of what happened to my credit line and that the {$23.00} payment was four days late. In conclusion, I lost my credit line, got a reduction with all three credit bureaus for an error in payment amount. XXXX XXXX Citizen Bank Customer Credit Card ending in XXXX.
