I have a credit card with Citi Bank. 
I travelled to the XXXX in XXXX XXXX. 
I had a car crash there and I was hospitalized. 
I could not make any contact with any of my US banks for several weeks and could not make payments ( for 30 days ) to XXXX accounts. XXXX with Citibank simplicity credit card and XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX auto car loan. 
In XXXX XXXX, I returned to the U.S. after extensive recovery. 
I Spoke to both companies. 
XXXX XXXX 's Vice President of Operations - XXXX XXXX XXXX - understood my situation and acknowledged it was a mitigating circumstance, that I was NOT under financial hardship ( as I have paid religiously on time for several years without one single missed payment ). hence XXXX requested from the credit reference bureaus to rectify and remove the delinquencies from my credit report. The delinquencies have since been removed and reflected in my credit history and credit score. 
Unfortunately, Citi bank credit card department ( and their credit dept. + policy dept. ) refused to take into consideration any of my mitigating circumstances and refused my request. 

Their reason was : " its not a Citi bank error ''!!!! 

This is very unfortunate despite being a loyal customer with them and had never previously missed a payment on my credit crd with them prior to my car accident. 

And just like that, without any common human decency or appreciation for what I went through in the XXXX, they flat out behaved like a heartless robot and kept the delinquency on my credit report. Now this is hampering my ability to borrow or use my credit history. 

I ask for you to investigate Citi banks policy regarding this unjustified flat out refusal to help me restore my credit history to its pre-accident state. To help me, their customer, when I needed them most. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
