      My bank card had some fraud (my fault). Citizens has been utterly incapable of being slightly competent during this process. I called (multiple time), finally scheduled a payment, and watched it go through. I have received FOUR calls a day from collections for three weeks. They NEVER ONCE left me a voicemail. It has gone to spam every time. I finally called the number back to see who it was. How the *** are they so incompetent? It shouldnt be hard to see a payment. It shouldnt be hard to leave a voicemail if you are actually concerned. And it shouldnt be hard to NOT harass you customers for no reason.
