Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I purchased an Elliptical machine from XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, with 12 months interest free financing done by Citizens One. Statement shows a charge for XXXX XX/XX/XXXX for {$2300.00}, 0 % APR 12 MO. I never received a paper statement showing when payment was due or who to send monies to. I did receive a email about statements, but it kept trying to have me set up autopay, which I don't do. Because of this, I was late on my 1st payment, but after calling XXXX to get info needed, Imade two payments in XX/XX/XXXX to catch up. All my statements showed " The current rate 0.000 % will end on XX/XX/XXXX ''. I paid {$200.00} a month to pay off the machine. My final payment of {$170.00} was posted and received by Citizens One on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. However, I did not catch that XXXX had changed the 0 % APR pay off date to XXXX XX/XX/XXXX on the statement dated XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. I have never seen a company change payoff date in 40 years. But XXXX did it. They then were able to charge me interest of {$1.00}, which I paid and have asked for a refund. I am not a lawyer but this appears to be a deceptive practice and should be illegal. I want everyone in USA to know how Citizen One operates, so they do not get caught up in their deceptive practice.

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: Citizens Bank stopped billing auto-payments for my XXXX XXXX XXXX without explanation and I am sure in error, threatened my credit score, yet will not provide a means to fix it. Purchased XXXX at XXXX store using their annual upgrade program. XXXX employee assisted to set up a Citizens Bank loan and auto-payments from my credit card. Auto-payments worked fine through XX/XX/XXXX. Starting XX/XX/XXXX, I received emails ( see attached PDF ) stating my payments failed. There is no reason for it to have failed because I have no issues with my credit card and there have been no changes such as new expiration date. No other payments have done this. The exact language was, We were unable to successfully process the scheduled recurring monthly payment for your XXXX loan XXXX. Please update the payment information on your XXXX loan at appleloan.citizensbank.com, or call us anytime at XXXX. I have tried getting help via the phone number provided in the email and other Citizens Bank customer service numbers but was unable to connect with a person to learn what is wrong. Over 15 calls and no combination of IVR selections lead to a human. ( Regarding this, their web page contact us was misleading in that it implies getting help from people, not limited to an IVR machine with limited choices. ) As suggested by Citizens Bank, I registered web access to the account at Citizens Bank online account and tried to fix it there. I verified the credit card number was correct, per last 4 digits ( redacted in attached PDF ). The buttons to manage the payment always went to a blank page. I verified my browser reader mode and blockers were off. I finally found a page that worked via the menu. I tried to edit the data, updating the blank CVV field but the continue button was gray and would not function. I contacted my credit card company to see whether they could help. They confirmed there is no issue with my card. They confirmed the last payment XX/XX/XXXX was successful. They had no record of any subsequent payment attempt. That contradicts the Citizens Bank record that says an attempt was made on XX/XX/XXXX and declined ( see attached PDF showing transaction declined ).

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: My mortgage is being serviced by Citizens Bank. I went on forbearance last year during COVID in XX/XX/XXXX. In XXXX of XXXX I requested a deferral agreement following the COVID forbearance and it was approved as of XX/XX/XXXX. I have made monthly payments since XX/XX/XXXX. However, my account is still reporting as in forbearance to the credit bureaus and on my mortgage statements. The payments I make each month are placed in a suspense account and despite calling over 100 times since XXXX to get this resolved, I have been told that this will only be resolved " once the system updates '' and that this is for my own protection. However, the problem is that I am in contract to purchase a home with a deposit in escrow and due to the current forbearance status I am unable to close on the property. If this continues to be an issue for much longer I will lose my deposit, as this property was being used as a bed and breakfast and they have every right to take my deposit due to lost revenue.
