On XXXX/XXXX/15 I deposited a check for a very large sum of money, in XXXX funds, into my checking account. The bank clerk told me the funds would be available in a week 's time. Some days later I got a letter from the bank, dated XXXX/XXXX/15, saying a small amount of the funds were available for withdrawal right away, and the remainder would be available for withdrawal XXXX/XXXX/15. Subsequently, I got another letter from Citibank saying that since these were foreign funds, the check had been sent out for collection, and the funds would be credited to my account one or two days after receipt. On XXXX/XXXX/15 I went online. The funds had not been credited. I called Citibank and in the course of XXXX/XXXX/15 and XXXX/XXXX/15 I talked to XXXX bank employees whose names I have. They would look into it. On XXXX/XXXX/15 the XXXX XXXX told me the funds would be available in " six to eight weeks, '' presumably from the date of deposit. This was unacceptable, so I went to my local Citibank in XXXX, where I had deposited the check in the first place, and talked to the branch manager, XXXX XXXX, who indicated he would do the necessary. On XXXX/XXXX/15 he told me the collection department said the funds would be available at some unspecified time, maybe in three weeks. Meanwhile, the exchange rate has continued to fluctuate, not in my favor. When we started out I believe the rate was 77 % and now it is XXXX 75 % -- these numbers might not be exact. It is possible the bank converted the money when the rate was more favorable and wishes to use a less favorable rate when they actually give me the money.
