I hold XXXX student loans with Citibank. I decided in XXXX to submit their auto-debit form. Unfortunately, the form can not be submitted online and must be mailed. Citibank has no record of receiving my request. I only realized this yesterday when XXXX notified me of a late payment on my credit file. I immediately logged into the Citibank student loan website, made the payment, and sent them a message inquiring about the issue. They responded that they had not received my request. 

In the past, Citibank used multiple methods of contacting me including sending paper statements and telephone calls when I had n't paid by the due date. It appears they have changed their practice. If they had maintained the contacting methods they used in the past and that are similar to other creditor practices, this situation would have been avoided. 

I am seeking a mortgage for my first home and this derogatory credit reporting will severely impact that process. I am seeking a resolution where at the least Citibank removes the derogatory credit reporting. To help others, they may also streamline the auto-debit process, and be much more clear about notifying consumers when they change the method of contacting them in similar situations.
