Consumer Narrative
Citibank is not responding to my request for compensation of all of the money I lost due to unfair lending practices as well as my request for contact information and an address to send a certified demand letter. I am requesting compensation because the situation caused me to lose a substantial amount of money. This has prevented me from being able to try to purchase a home. On the last day of escrow on XX/XX/2023, Citibank Mortgage called me in the afternoon to tell me that I did not qualify for their Home Run Loan, which they had initially approved. This occurred at the end of a 45-day escrow and underwriting process. I was assured that I qualified for the loan. They then offered me two more expensive loans. I submitted a complaint in XXXX and Citibank refunded the {$800.00} application fee. However, I was unable to comfortably afford either of the two new loans offered. I was also unable to find a comparable loan to their program. As a result, I had to cancel the contract and I lost the money spent on the inspections, fees, and lost interest of {$1600.00}, as well as part of my earnest money deposit. The loan officer had assured my realtor and I that the loan was approved and would go through on XX/XX/XXXX, so the loan contingency was removed. The seller kept {$3800.00} of the XXXX. The total amount of money I lost due to this unfair lending practice was {$5400.00} in addition to a lot of emotional distress over the loss of that much money. I would not have spent any of this money if they had informed me when I first applied or after the first underwriting that I did not qualify for the Home Run loan program. Citibank responded to my first complaint, but I did not realize that I was able to comment on that response and I missed the window. I am still trying to recover the remainder of the money from Citibank that I lost due to their error or unfair practices. I have requested a name and address to send a certified letter to Citibank, but they have ignored my request emails and have not sent the information that I requested.
