CitiBank
Fraudulent practices

Earlier this year, I was approved for a student loan from Citibank. There were 2 disbursements scheduled, the first one in January and the second one in May. I used the first one, but then I started attending less than part time, which made me ineligible for the second disbursement, and the school subsequently canceled it. However, Citibank denies the cancellation and holds me liable for the second disbursement. I have a statement from HESC (Higher Education Services) that shows the cancellation, yet Citibank continues standing its grounds. I paid off the first disbursement in full, but this is not good enough. Citibank holds me liable for the balance that was canceled. My numerous calls to the customer service, letters, even BBB complaint have gotten me precisely nowhere. Too bad I don't live in the state where Citibank is located; I would have filed a complaint in the court of law in no time. This can ruin my credit history, let alone my potential future student loans. At this point, I don't know what else I can do, but to post on this site.

Everybody, beware of Citibank's practices.
