I called to customer services and they told me they know, this thing make me damage on my credit score. So they doing this with purpose. Beware of them, don't take any credit cards from them. I got second card from Capital one and they always understand our problems and they give us time to figure out.

This statement indicates you have developed a pattern of late payments. Your late payments resulted in the reduction of your credit score. Not a rip off.
Welcome to the real world. Your credit limit was lowered and your intrest rate raised just like everyone else.
The only part that would hurt your credit rating is debt to income ratio. Your credit score went down because you owe money and don't have income.

Credit report form True Credit

" Ratio of balances to credit limit too high."
I did double check on my True Credit, my credit score is down when Home Depot put my Credit limit down to balance. Before this happen I had 710 score after I have 680. I have no other problems at my credit report with nobody. If you got credit limit $3,000.- and your balance is $2,000.- your credit score is much better if you paying every month , what I did, them if you got credit limit same like your balance.

A few things

Several factors go into your credit score, one of which being your ratio of available credit. Meaning if you have $10,000 credit limit on all your credit cards combined, how much available credit do you have. The only way them lowering your credit limit would have any kind of effect on your score is if you have no other form of open line of credit. So they would have essientially made it to where you have 0% avalible credit (as your balance and credit limit are the same). This is within any creditors right to do.
Now, it sounds like you were having trouble making minimum payments when you lost your job. If during this time you didnt make your minimum payment then within 30 days of the due date then it would have reported to your credit report as a late payment and lowered your credit score. The last two payment you made (above minimum) may not have reflected yet on your credit score as it usually takes 30-60 days for these to update depending on several factors.
This is not Citibank or Home Depots fault and this is a bad ripoff report. This sounds like you just got behind and upset that Citibank did their responsibility of reporting you even if you were in a hardship, just like any other company would do if you didnt work out a payment plan with them before falling behind. If you never were 30-days past due you can dispute their bad credit marks.
However, if this is soley due to them lowering your credit limit, then there is nothing you can do, it sounds like they had just cause as you were paying them late and you must not have much credit history (as stated above, that would be the only way lowering your credit limit on a small credit card would effect your credit score)
I paid them 3 times more like was minimum payment what they ask for last two months.
- What the heck does that mean?
Based on your posts so far it does not appear that English is your primary language. So any continued explanation of how Credit Cards work would obviously go right over your head.

Here are some things to think about. First of all the creditor determines your credit limit. There is no law or regulation that states they must keep you at a certain credit limit. If they feel that you are a higher risk, and your payment history shows that, they have every right to lower your limit or even close the account. In fact what they did is often an indication that they plan to close your account anyways, so as you pay down the balance your credit limit will continue lower as well. Once it is paid off they will then close it.
As to your payment history. There is NOTHING in your agreement that states as long as you pay "something" you are okay. What you will find is that unless you pay the Minimum payment you are delinquent. There is nothing in your agreement that says you don't have to make your minimum payments if you run into problems.
My guess is that it is the delinquent payments showing up on your credit report that is causing you more of the problems than the reduction in your credit limit.
