This complaint is regarding CitiCard's Credit Protector Processing Ctr., P.O. Box 901016, Fort Worth, Tx. [protected].

I was terminated from my position at work due to a disability. Because I was terminated I fought and received unemployment benefits. I was terminated on June 6, 2005. My unemployment benefits ran out the first week of Dec. 2005. I then went on Social Security Disability. I notified Credit Protector in a letter. I included a statement from Social Security telling them the amount of my monthly benefit and a letter from my physician. They sent me a form to change my status from Job Loss to a Disability Claim. My doctor and I filled it out; it is dated Jan. 11, 2006. On the form one of the questions was if my disability was permanent, which my physician responded it was a permanent disability and I would not be returning to work. They asked for diagnosis codes which my physician provided 3 of them. Credit Protector claimed they never received this disability claim. I received a letter to fill out another claim form. The only claim form I had was a Job Loss form which asks the same questions. I sent that to them with another letter from my physician. They denied my claim and closed my case. They told me I did not send them the disability claim within the 30 time limit. They claim they never received the disability claim form of Jan. 11, 2006. I wrote a letter to credit protector with a copy of the form that came out of my medical chart. I attached copies of 3 letters my physician wrote. One of them was a treatment summary. This was on June 6, 2006. Meanwhile CitiCard is not getting paid. I am 5 months behind in payments. My interest rate shot up to 30%. I receive calls from them on a daily basis. The last call was yesterday, June 27, 2006. I then called Credit Protector to find out the status of my appeal. The representative informed me the appeal was denied on June 22, 2006. They never bothered to send me a denial letter. The representative I spoke to, Amy, said she would send out the denial letter. She told me they never received a claim for disability in January 2006. The only claim they have is the copy I sent them on June 6, 2006. This company is scamming people out of their money, promise to make payments if you lose your job or become ill. I have paid my monthly dues to them but they are not holding up their end of the deal.

Deposited a new check but it was post dated from my employer and now my account will be closed. As we speak citi bank states the check is still processing. At first they said this check is fraudulent.

We are expecting a payment from an US Bank to our Germany bank account but the payment has not been received.

The German bank is Comdirect Bank.

Please find attached the payment remittance receipt with our account number/IBAN.

We kindly request a research of the payment.

I don’t know why you closed my account because you refuse to. I broke no law, no stupid policies or regulations. I demand explanation with proof or reinstate my accounts

overseas callers with no understanding of business terminology repeatedly asking the same questions - only to be called again and again by the same people with the same questions - miserable process!

I have been banking with you for over ten years, making large purchases and paying them off within a couple of days; when I do this, my available credit is restored.

I have a payment that took place and wanted the funds to affect my CC line.

I will pull my business from you, and you will lose a good customer.

As of today, August 11, 2022, I have now had to contact Citibank through the Wayfair website 5 times in the last 3 weeks, and it is still unresolved. I attempted to place an order for 3 items on Wayfair using my new credit card 3 weeks ago, they canceled it for some reason, and my account has been locked since. Customer service there is USELESS.

A credit inquiry has shown up on my Credit Karma report via Equifax on November 8, 2019 and needs to be removed. I do not have anything from Home Depot/Citicard and have not requested any line of credit with these companies. If there has been a request on my behalf, I need to see where it originated from because it will be a fradulant inquiry.

I am fed up with so many fraudulent charges to a extent that I only use this Costco CitiAnywhere card at Costco. Funny, CitiAnywhere card, for me, can only been used at Costco.
In the past so many years, my Costco American express card hardly have any fraudulent charges.
I guess I will only use this card at Costco then.

I opened an account with citi bank couple months ago. The closed my account without any explanation. Recently they even closed my credit card account which I have opened couple years ago without any reason. I keep asking myself what I am doing wrong. I called customer service, no one can explain to me. The only thing they said is "bank decision".

Costco needs to dump the Citi Bank card. In the last month my card has been hacked twice. The first time this occurred, it took Citi Bank 5 days to notify me. I am not sure how I can be in Michigan and California making purchases at the same time. Bring back American Express!

I am currently battling on behalf of my deceased father. He paid faithfully on the Credit Protect for YEARS and now we're being told it is only for "accidental death". NOTHING online or in his paperwork states this...we have documentation showing long-term diability, death...

Have retained an attorney to help us fight this battle. Eery other agency with whom he has any credit life protection honored their end of the deal...NOT CitiCard. Sad.

Hello, I have a website that I started and one of the two test cases I am chronicling is Credit Protector. I'm sorry to hear that you paid into a system that signed you up so easily but then makes you jump through hoops to collect.
