On XXXX XXXX, 2015, I applied by telephone to Citi for the Double Cash Back Credit Card and was rejected. The reason for rejection that I was given by a " supervisor '' was that my annual income was too low, as dictated by the Federal Card Act Ability to Pay provision. I well recognize that I have a very low income, but I think that I was given a one-sided look at my credit worthiness. The XXXX intake worker did ask the amount of my rent or mortgage payment. I told her " XXXX '', since I own my home. They did not ask any other financial questions -- assets or debts. Had they, I would have told them the following : I own approximately XXXX acres of land, have XXXX ownership in another home on the land, have a CD at a local bank, and money in my checking account at XXXX banks ( XXXX in XXXX KY and another in XXXX KY ). I have no debts. Also XXXX or XXXX times I told the Citi employees that I am in good standing with XXXX credit cards ( XXXX and XXXX ) for which I have always paid my balance monthly. I offered to give them my account numbers. They did not want this information. 

In my later reading a bit about the Federal Card Act time and time again was the statement that any credit card issuer must do " a review of the consumer 's income or assets as well as current obligations ''. Thus I think that I was not treated fairly by Citi in my telephone application process for their Double Cash Back Card.
