Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/23 I attempted through automatic withdrawal through my bank to pay the balance due on my Costco Citibank credit card. In error, instead of entering {$110.00}, I entered {$10000.00}. Once entered, I saw my error and attempted to correct it by hitting ESC. It appeared to have worked. I then reentered the balance due payment as {$110.00}, the correct amount. On XX/XX/23 I attempted to withdraw {$100.00} from my XXXX XXXX XXXX ATM but could not. When I inquired at the bank, I was told my account was overdrawn. Citibank had received both the correct balance due of {$110.00} and the erroneous {$10000.00}. My bank, XXXX XXXX XXXX reversed the incorrect transaction due to insufficient funds in my account. At that point my balance due on the Costco Citibank Visa was XXXX. On XX/XX/23 though I owed them nothing, Citibank resubmitted the incorrect transaction, which was honored due to my XXXX XXXX and other deposits having been received. This payment to Citibank left me with {$5.00} in. my account. When contacted, Citibank at first said they would issue a credit to my credit account. When I objected they said a check would be issued but would take XXXX business days. I was penniless and had to borrow from friends to buy food and pay bills. XXXX XXXX XXXX issued overdraft charges each time an automatic withdrawal came in. On XX/XX/23 I received a check from XXXX for {$9700.00} backdated to XX/XX/23 Citibank had deducted {$240.00} to cover charges made after the statement date and not yet due. I am a XXXX XXXX living on XXXX XXXX and a small pension. I was penniless. I had no money to pay any bills or even buy food while Citibank held my money not owed to them to earn interest for its bottom line.
