This bank is a fraud!!! Not only are they making money out of the outrageous interest fees that they charge (mine's is 27.24%), they are making money out of these over limit fees that they continue to charge even though I never went over my limit and ALWAYS paid my minimum payment on time! I got a $300 limit and made sure to stay below that limit. When I received my first bill, I already had a $39.00 over limit fee. They claim that the interest charge made my limit go over, my understanding from other credit card's that I've had is that if I don't pay it off the whole amount due for that 1st billing statement, then I'll accrue the interest charge. In other words, how was I suppose to know when to pay the minimum before the interest charge was going to be added when I hadn't even received a bill yet? Oh but it doesn't stop there...I have had 4 more over limit fees because every time I send in a payment and before the "due date", they claim that I should have sent the payment before the "23 grace period, which supposedly is before the interest charges are added". How is anyone suppose to know that you're suppose to send in a payment 2 weeks before the "due date" so that your interest charge won't be added? This is the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I called and have spoken to several representatives, which by the way are not friendly, they're rude and they don't seem to care about helping the customers. As a matter of fact, I spoke to a "supervisor" which was even more rude and not helpful. I don't think the customer service line is in the US because every time I call, I have a hard time understanding the representatives. Twice I called and asked the representatives that for example if I sent in $100 instead of the minimum due of $21, would that cover me and I won't be charged the over limit fee for the next statement, she said "yes, it will cover you and you will not be charged". Well guess what I had on my next bill? ANOTHER OVER LIMIT FEE! And again, I called to complain that the representative had previously told me that my $100 would cover me of any over limit fees and of course that representative said that she did not know why that representative said that and that "unfortunately" there's no record of me even speaking to anyone. So again, I asked her how much I would have to send in to cover my over limit fee and she said $90.00, I mailed in $95.00 just to be sure and guess what I got for the next monthly statement? Yet ANOTHER $39.00 OVER LIMIT FEE!!! I am so frustrated with this company and every time I call to complain, they don't provide me with another number to call the top executives of this company, instead they give me a fax #. What am I suppose to do with a fax #?!!
