@AskCiti @askciti I have followed up by DM but now no one is answering

@AskCiti I'm trying to solve an issue with my checking account but the automated telephone system doesn't accept the last 4 digits of my debit card and there's no way to get beyond that point and talk to a human. 1/

@AskCiti @AskCiti How do I deal with this Kafkaesque customer service situation? The nearest branch is more than 2 hours away so better to handle it on the phone, but that seems impossible. 5/X

@AskCiti @AskCiti I tried calling the relationship manager at the branch. She never answered. I left a voicemail. She didn't call back. 4/

When Mr. Solovyov began his project celebrating Ukraine’s architecture in 2018, the main threat to his beloved buildings was overzealous developers.
“Now another threat has been added by the Russians,” he said.

“But when we rebuild the house, we will have a huge party there. I’ll get drunk and then I’ll start crying and I’ll cry out all of the pain, every last drop of it,” Oksana said.

Misty and damp parts of Ukraine have long beckoned to mushroom hunters. But now, the hunters see their tranquil walks in the forest as a sign of resilience and a way to preserve ordinary life during wartime. https://t.co/bAczDOW1xU

Off the battlefield in Ukraine, a Herculean rebuilding effort lies ahead. Fully 61,000 square miles could be littered with land mines and other explosives left by retreating Russian forces, while half of the country's electric grid has been destroyed. https://t.co/Q4RcUfPmcQ
