Consumer complaint received 2023-10-03
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: MN
Product: Credit card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Charged too much interest

Complaint:
I have an ongoing credit card relationship with US Bank. There are two interest rate tiers on my credit card account. The first is an interest free balance transfer that has no interest promotion until end of the year 2023. There is also a second balance tier that had an interest rate promotion that expired in XX/XX/2023. 

Per the CARD ACT, in the application of payment provision of this act, any additional money that the consumer sends in excess of the minimum payment MUST be applied to the highest interest rate portion of the account. 

However, US Bank is posting my excess payments to the interest free portion of the bill and at the same time charging interest on another portion of the balance and not applying any of my additional payments to this portion of the bill. This appears to be a clear violation of the CARD ACT. 

In my example the interest is nominal, BUT if this behavior by U.S. Bank is widespread this could be a rampant violation of the law by US Bank, costing consumers millions of dollars a year due to their ongoing violation of the CARD ACT by U.S. Bank. 

I have attached three monthly statements of my account showing the balances and the payment posting history. It is only the most recent XXXX statement that shows the improper interest being charged. The prior statements from XXXX and XXXX are showing you how my excess payments are being posted to the balance with no interest but nothing applied to the portion that has interest being charged. I have also attached a summary of the CARD ACT and specifically reference the 'Application of payments ( payment allocation ) ' on page three that US Bank is violating.

Dear TransUnion I see that you continue to violate my rights and the law by constantly verifying the un-authorized inquiries listed below. 

XXXX XXXX : Account number : XXXX, Did not authorize extra fees and charges. Contact the collector and have them remove this. 

XXXX XXXX : Account number : XXXX, Did not authorize extra fees and charges. Contact the collector and have them remove this. 

XXXX | XX/XX/2023 : Account number : XXXX, Did not authorize extra fees and charges. Contact the collector and have them remove this.

XXXX | XX/XX/2023 : Account number : XXXX, Did not authorize extra fees and charges. Contact the collector and have them remove this. 

XXXX XXXX : Account number : XXXX, Did not authorize extra fees and charges. Contact the collector and have them remove this. 

XXXX XXXX Account number : XXXX, Did not authorize extra fees and charges. Contact the collector and have them remove this. 

In my last letter I gave you the new and relevant information ( proof that the creditor did not have authorization ) you needed to conduct your investigation. Yet you still verified these inquires. Its troubling that your company continues to violate the law and hurt consumers on a daily basis. The law is clear, if the creditor does not have permissible purpose to pull a credit report, they cant pull. You have failed your responsibilities to me as a consumer and I will explore all legal options that are afforded to me under the law. 

Because of your willful non-compliance, I will be filing more complaints with various organizations. I will also be seeking legal advice on this matter.
