Every time I received my billing statement from Citibank card I always got a headache. There's always this charges that I don't know where they come from... But still I pay what is needed.
Recently, I just file a request to them through phone, requesting them to cut my credit line... Since I intended not to use my Citibank credit card ever.
The Citiphone officer inform me that I have to settle first my balance, which I have to pay the full amount (18,).
I ask her if it is possible that the payment could be like the monthly bill they usually send me, because I can't pay the balance in full. She checked my query and said to me that it is possible, and she clarified to me that she will cut my line and the payment will be monthly just like the monthly billing statement I usually received from them. She said that the request to cut the line will take effect after 4 days, that someone might call me for confirmation or if not, consider the request done. And then there's the usual question of why I want to close my card and etc.
Four days... And even more days have pass and I haven't received any call from them, so, I guested that my request to cut my line is already done.
Then came my monthly billing statement. And to my surprise, I have to pay my balance in full and will be due this coming March 3.
I immediately call their customer service to settle this problem, because I don't have the money to pay them in full. The Citiphone officer told me in a disobedient voice that according to their record, I was informed that I have to pay in full before they can cut my line. I told him that it was not the agreement between me and the other Citiphone officer before, and I ask him to review my last conversation with that other Citiphone officer. He told me that it will take 7 to 10 working days before they can give me feedback. I ask him what can be done because I can't pay them in full, and he repeatedly said that I just have to wait 7 to 10 days for them to review my other conversation with them. And our conversation just go on in circle...
I just hope that they can resolved this much faster and earlier, because it will definitely give me headache on days to come, as long as I don't received any feedback from them.
It could be better if they can offer me a very good deals to settle this payment.
Oh well, I will just call them again in the following days for follow-up and feedback, and I hope they won't give me even more HEADACHE!!!
