State: IA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Charged too much interest

Complaint:
Citi XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX statement included a 0 % balance transfer with minimum payment of {$220.00} and monthly purchase of {$250.00}. A payment of XXXX XXXXmade toward the {$250.00} purchase and minimum of {$220.00}. This should be deducted first and then the rest applied toward the 0 % promotion ; however, they are using all the money for 0 % promotion and then charging me interest rates for the purchase of {$250.00}. I was promised by surprised that this will not happen again, but then it did. 
XXXX statement included minimum of {$210.00}, purchase of {$250.00}, and interest charge of {$4.00}. A {$1000.00} payment was made and then next month, the same abuse was done. 
XXXX statement included minimum of {$200.00}, purchase of {$250.00}, and interest charge of {$3.00}. 
0 % promotion is until XX/XX/2023. No interest should ever be charged when the payment is much higher than minimum due, and standard purchase combined. The additional extra payment amount should then be made toward the rest of account balance that is 0 %. They are abusing the consumer and cheating!!!!

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

Complaint:
I have been steadily and on time, paying down my balance when I was suddenly hit with an interest charge of {$780.00} on XX/XX/2019. This on a balance of {$1400.00}. 
Up until this month, XX/XX/2019, my previous monthly interest charges would range in the $ 20- {$30.00} range.I scarcely use the card in the last 12 months and have committed to paying it completely off and closing the account. 
In addition to the additional {$780.00} fee, my balance has now been pushed over my assigned limit, so yet another fee of an " over limit '' charge of {$35.00} was added to my 'debt '. Coincidentally I'm sure, I am unable to download to file or even view these insane finance charges per usual with the easy to read pdf format, as I have always been able to do up until to this charge had been added. I have a paperless account. 
I have called their customer service and spoken with a representative " XXXX '', who stated the charges are accurate and will stay. So I must pay the amount or suffer the consequences. Please help me! XXXX XXXX

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: PA
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Getting the loan

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I went into a PNC branch in XXXX XXXXXXXX, PA to get a personal loan for debt consolidation. I personally was denied, which I expected, and due to the loan being a co-borrower loan, was told to come back with them and redo the application. 

When I came back I got a different employee and was told that there is no difference between a co-signer and a co-borrower loan. 

Because in this employee and branch managers mind, that there is no difference between these terms, they dont enter the information in in the correct order for their system. 

The first employee knew I needed to go second on the application ( EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A JOINT CREDIT APPLICATION for monthly responsibilities not just co-signed in case of default ) because PNC advises in this branch at least, there is no difference between these types of loans, which is factually not true, the application needs to be structured like a co-signer loan with the bad credit last. 

So a lack of basic financial knowledge from employees and the branch manager is causing people to not get loans they qualify for, and teaching uneducated consumers dangerous financial lies that there is no difference between co-signer and co-borrower. 

I dont care thst I didnt get the loan, its PNCs loss, but after being denied the loan due to them not understanding their system and basic financial terms they then suggested that Im pre-selected for a credit card while Im there for debt consolidation. 

So I question the intent of the denial and the legality of giving false financial advise as an accredited financial institution. 

Theyre structuring an application under one set of rules and handing you paperwork for another to mitigate their loan risks.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NY
Product: Credit card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Problem with balance transfer

Complaint:
I obtained a Care Credit credit card for eye surgeries over XXXX years ago. Original amount was XXXX, with an initial XXXX interest for a specified amount of time, which I cant recall. 
When the XXXX interest rate ended, Synchrony Bank, who is the issuer of the Care Credit XXXX and many other smaller businesses, added on all of the accrued interest to the principal, essentially capitalizing the interest. 
My fault for not reading cardholder agreement before applying for the card. 
I have been paying on this Care Credit card faithfully, and each month a substantial portion of my payment goes toward interest that is XXXX XXXX 
Last XXXX I applied for a XXXX card and was granted a {XXXX  credit line and the ability to do balance transfers up to XXXX 
I called Synchrony Bank to get their location details where to send a balance transfer of XXXX  to pay off almost the entire remaining Care Credit balance. I was told by their XXXX customer service robot AND by a human being customer service person that Synchrony Bank does not accept balance transfers as payments on any of their credit cards. I asked WHY and got no answer from the robot or the human. 
How is Synchrony Bank allowed to refuse balance transfers, as a form of payment along with the other payment methods they do accept? I think they are not following the MasterCard/Visa regulations and certainly not the Consumer Finance Bureau 's direction. 
I have asked other people about this anomaly and they must have attempted to do balance transfers over the years and were refused, just like I was.
