<p>NEW YORK (Reuters) – Cerberus Capital Management LP (CBS.UL) and Centerbridge Capital Partners are among the bidders for Citigroup Inc's (C.N) U.S. consumer-lending unit, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday, citing three people with knowledge of the matter.</p>
                <p>
Reuters reported in March that Citigroup was looking to sell the business without taking losses and was offering partial financing to bidders.</p>
                <p>
Reuters also reported then that bidders included a handful of groups consisting of more than 10 private equity firms including Warburg Pincus LLC (WP.UL) and KKR &amp; Co (KKR.N) in one group and Blackstone Group (BX.N) and Carlyle Group (CYL.UL) in another.</p>
                <p>
Bloomberg said on Thursday that the group that included Warburg Pincus withdrew from the process, according to one person.</p>
                <p>
Cerberus and Citi declined to comment. Officials at Centerbridge, Warburg Pincus and KKR could not be reached immediately.</p>
