Even crazier is that Crockett was caught between a rock and a hard place when the bank claimed it had made a payment to the gas station for the full amount. But the gas station says it never received a payment from Citibank. And it appears that Crockett may not be alone. Nikki Johnson, another customer at the same gas station, put $22.47 on her credit card for coffee and gas. Simple enough, right? Johnson checked her bank statement to find she had been charged $58,278.35 for the transaction.
Crockett was left out of financial resources, except for a $100 gift card that the Mapco gas station gave him to help him get by until the issue was resolved. When News Channel 5 asked Citibank why it had locked Crockett out of his account and refused to cancel the purchase, an employee simply told Channel 5, "Because this is his account." Crockett wasn't even able to access his weekly paycheck, which was directly deposited into the $84,000-overdrawn account.
