Consumer Narrative
I sent money to my Citi savings from my XXXX savings for 6 months. Then, I needed the money to pay cash for a house til I refinanced. Citi has a {$50000.00} monthly transfer out so I made that and then called to do verify a wire transfer for the other {$50000.00} I needed. I spent 30 minutes of the phone with a foreign representative who was hard to understand who placed me on hold multiple times. During her questions verifying me the phone call had static and I could also hear her coworkers in the background laughing and talking. Once I was finally verified she told me the transfer would go through since we close in 2 days. The next morning I wake up to check my accounts. The money wasnt transferred to XXXX so I logged onto my Citi Account and the savings account was gone. I called Citi and had another static phone call with a foreign representative who put me on hold for 20 minutes. He said my account had a security hold on it but he didnt know why and hes researching it. This is the most frustrating and scary thing Ive ever encountered. I will not ever use Citi again and I wont be using them for my credit card either. If I dont get my money back, I will be suing. Im also at risk of losing the house Im supposed to close on because theyre holding my funds.
