You definitely hit a sensitive nerve with this...keep going!!! the more pushback you recieve typically means your getting somewhere close to the truth (or in rare cases are totally off) that being said Washington hacks like the CCF like to pay PR consultants to post on every website and story that discusses a certain topic etc....definitely should make people register here otherwise you will be the target of highly(though sometimes not so high) paid professionals who just spit out the party line.....frankly, im an insider from dc...that is EXACTLY what happens
This link: http://www.defense.gov/faq/pis/PC09SLDR.html takes you to the DOD explanation of this act which modified the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940.
I believe that this may help you to retrieve legal expenses and any payments you've already made. It should make the debt, legally, as though it never existed and repair your credit reports.
Good luck
...and an awful thing to do to someone in the service. Maybe you can tell a local newspaper or TV station about your dealings with Citi and get them to embarrass Citi over this treatment.
I had a citibank account I thought was closed in '02, I paid off the full amount, destroyed my card & forgot about it. Turns out between my last bill & my mailing the last payment they raised my rate by 12% so my last payment of $600 should have been $672 in order to close my account. Leaving me with a balance of $72. I was then sent to iraq where I spent the vast majority of the next three years, upon my return to the states I was informed I had been found liable for this surprise bill & ordered to pay the full amount plus legal fees (I failed to appear in court while I was in iraq) So in the end I paid (am paying) $3,786 for a $72 charge that never should have been.
