      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.

      I use a City National Bank Cash Back card. I have earned $14.41 in cash rewards. CNB will not send me the cash. They will only credit my account in increments of $50. I believe 'Cash Back' is a misleading title for this card. I want the cash back.

      I did an ACH transfer with the amount of $******* to ********************* from my *************** account on ********** for my escrow, *************. ********************* used City National Bank to receive client transfer fund. With this ACH to City National Bank, I mistakenly put City National Bank routing number as the transfer-to account number. ********************* reported they did not receive the transfer fund. On 8/16/2021, I called City National Bank. City National Bank said they recognize the error and corrected the transfer to the correct account(transaction ID ********* and Trace ID: ***************.). However, City National Bank cannot provide me any written proof because I am not the owner of the account. I opened the dispute with ******* ***** Company through **** ******* ***** Company Legal department responded twice that they did not received the money (Please see attached Letters from ********** and stated that I should go back to *************** to trace and request a return of the fund. I also spent many hours to contact *************** for my claim. *************** responded on 2/9/2022 that they successfully transferred the money to City Nation Bank with the transaction ID ********* and Trace ID: ***************. As a courtesy, *************** has reached out to City National Bank but City National Bank cannot retract the fund.
