      Using the name, address, email address, and phone number provided in the complaint, I am unable to locate a client with this name in our system. If the complainant believes we are the correct company, we will need more information to locate an account, such as the account number. We believe this was submitted to the incorrect City National Bank.

      My aunt who was diagnosed with dementia and who I have been taking care of has a credit card that she is not in the possession of and charges have been made on the card every month these last 3 or so months. We only found out the card existed when she received the bill. We have been trying to call the customer service to file a fraud case but the people on the other end of the call do not speak English and are impossible to understand. We went in person to the bank but were told that they dont handle credit cards and we would need to call at 5:00 am to speak to English speaking representatives. We called this morning (she is sitting next to me on speaker) and the representative would not help us without a power of attorney and would not patch us through to a supervisor. We also tried creating an online account so that we could file the dispute online, but it requires the *** code on the back of the card, which we dont have. My aunt has dementia and cant take care of these things on her own any more. She needs help getting these charges and fees reversed and the card account closed as I know first hand that she hasnt used this or any credit card without supervision in the last 9 months.

      A call was placed to the complainant that confirmed this is not a client of City National Bank. The complaint was for Citi Bank and was sent to the incorrect company.

      The bank completed a review and we believe we are the incorrect company. We are unable to locate a client using the information provided, name, address, email, or phone number. There is a City National Bank of ******* and we believe this is a client of that institution. If the complainant believes we are the correct City National Bank an ************ we will need an account number or other details to be able to verify the complainant.

      Hello. I was recruited to be part of the City National Bank advisory board. I was promised an incentive for activities completed online. I earned a total of $30 in incentives and I wanted to cash out but my account was disabled. In researching online, it is a common occurrence with this organization. The accounts are disabled before the individual is able to cash out monies that are rightfully theirs. Thank you.

      The member was removed from the City National ************************ after a routine review of the user account which revealed the user was engaging in activities that did not meet our community guidelines. The member's account will not be re-established,however, in good faith, on 8/1/2024 City National Bank re-issued the $30 in incentives earned for activities completed by this individual. The complainant received a link via email from our vendor, Fuel Cycle, where she can claim the funds.

      Please see attached PDF with full details. I was set to close on the purchase of a residence. Our mortgage contact assured both myself and my realtor that everything was in order for closing, and never notified or implied any documents had yet to be received, reviewed and approved that could result in a last-minute cancellation. Due to this, my realtor did not request an extension of the contract (why would she if she was told by the lender everything was set to close?), but the underwriter did not approve just 30 minutes prior to my scheduled closing due to an issue with HOA insurance coverage. Let me be clear: this BBB complain is NOT regarding the inability to close due to insurance issue. It is regarding the bank's failure to communicate to me or my realtor that there was an issue still pending approval that could result in denial of the loan. The last-minute and unexpected denial resulted in a total of $10,688.45 of my cash assets being spent/lost. We are now set to close on the home I signed on after the first denial. I requested a fair compensation by lowering/crediting my closing costs, since my financial assets were lost due to no fault of my own or my realtors and were lost due to the bank's inability to properly communicate that the situation I was in required a contractual extension of time to prevent losses. The responses from the mortgage guy and his supervisor are going around in circles about the insurance issue instead of the actual issue at hand- your responsibility to properly communicate with your client and your failure to do so that resulted in heavy losses and financial strain. Not advising me or my realtor of pending approvals, thus not allowing my realtor to properly protect my assets, is unacceptable.

      I believe this was not submitted to the correct City National Bank. This is City National Bank an *********** and I cannot locate a prospect with this name that has an account, or an application approved for a mortgage. Based off the address zip code, I believe this was to be submitted to City National Bank of *******.

      Interest charges on purchases that were not clearly listed on monthly statementI have made several purchases w/ promotional deferred interest. The bill clearly states what I need to pay and the date deadlines. Unbeknownst to me, I was charged for my yearly Geek or ************* And ************* did not do anything dishonest, they just appeared to hide this charge and not clearly spell it out that I was required to pay a certain amount which is not on a promotional balance in order not to pay any interest fee. That is all ok (a little sneaky), but they did not do anything improper. What I do not understand is that I made a call and spoke w/ a ************* representative and I specifically asked what I needed to pay in order not to incur an interest charge the next pay period (it can be confusing w/ several promotional deferred balances. The representative provided me w/ specific amount and I paid itThe next months bill I was still charged interest. Not much, but it is the fact that I was given a specific amount to pay and I did pay it on time and I was still charged interest. The last ************* representative that I spoke with could not understand my complaint.

      The complaint appears to be for CITIBANK not City National Bank (CNB). A review was completed and CNB does not have a client by this name with the address provided. Please verify the complaint was tracked to the correct company. If so, please provide a copy of the billing statement for review.

      I have called numerous times requesting copies of my billing statements from December 2019 to June 2022, and we have not been forwarded this information. We believe we are being charged for purchases we did not make. Also we have been told there is a third person on our account which is incorrect. This problem has gone on far too long, and we are anxious to settle this complaint. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can be to me.
