My Citibank accounts have in the past always worked fine with money until
that that unholy abomination of an update that they did in setember or so.
The latest issue that was not fixed by throwing out years of data and
starting from scrach is the data consistancy in from checking/savings/credit
cards. Every time any transaction is made the date and name of the
transaction changes like 5 + times making a new entry each time. as you can
imagine this is a pain in the ass to keep deleting or matchine them up to
others and eventualy something gets messed up . In addition to that
wonderfull feature the name changes to include the the reffrence # number
making each entry unique severly screwing automaticaly asigning catagories or
just plain having anything to do with the payee list as every new transaction
makes a "new" payee.
Is there no gurenty of some form of quality data or hadeling of data? I mean
this is a Microsoft product and this Citibank and supposedly some type of
open standard! These are not exactly fly by night companies and they should
have more than enough resources to fix this issue. I lean twords this being a
microsoft issue as I have given my money to them for many years to have a
product that works . If Microsoft tells citibank hey your format is crap
...fix it I would hope they would. If they don't then remove them from the
list of banks....
Who's problem is this? Why does it exist? Why does it still exist? Who is
going to fix it?
