Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE (OH)

I have two balances - an interest bearing balance and a transfer balance with a zero percent interest rate. I generally have been paying from ten to almost sixty dollars over the minimum payment to reduce the interest I pay on the interest bearing balance. In XX/XX/XXXX of this year, I realized that the principal balance was not decreasing as quickly as it should have been, given the amounts in excess of the minimum required payment I had paid so I began looking at my statements more closely. I discovered that in XX/XX/XXXX of this year, 92 % of my payment, after the deduction of interest, had been applied to my zero interest balance transfer amount and only 8 % of the payment had been applied to the interest bearing portion of my card balance. I called Customer Service and complained about how my payments were being applied. I was told that there was no way to control how payments were divided between the interest bearing balance and the zero interest transfer balance. By applying substantially more of my payments to the zero interest balance account than it does to the interest bearing balance, the bank is increasing the amount of interest that I pay and it receives. In three instances in the last 9 months, the bank has run afoul of 12 CFR 1026.53 ( a ) which provides that " when a consumer makes a payment in excess of the required minimum periodic payment for a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan, the card issuer must allocate the excess amount first to the balance with the highest annual percentage rate and any remaining portion to the other balances in descending order based on the applicable APR ''. In XX/XX/XXXX of this year, only {$11.00} of the {$15.00} I paid over the minimum was applied to the interest bearing portion of my account. In XX/XX/XXXX of this year, only {$17.00} of the {$31.00} I paid over the minimum was applied to the interest bearing portion of my account. In XX/XX/XXXX of this year, only {$6.00} of the {$13.00} I paid over the minimum was applied to the interest bearing portion of my account. In short, the principal on my interest bearing account, by law, should be reduced by {$23.00} and the interest adjusted accordingly. When I opened this account, I assumed that at least 50 % of my payments, after deducting earned interest, would be applied to my interest bearing balance. I feel most reasonable consumers would make the same assumption. I am very upset that this is not the case and that the bank can apply most of my payments to the zero interest account to increase the amount of interest it receives. This is very unfair to consumers.

I received a large deposit into my account from my son 's business ( {$80000.00} ). Approximately 15 days after the deposit, my account was frozen. I requested feedback from the bank ( Truist Bank ) regarding their rational for freezing the account. After calling and stopping in the bank numerous times, they would only say that something was wrong with the deposit and that the " back office '' was investigating. However, they never supplied any documentation to support their claim. Further, I requested that the bank allow me to discuss the matter with their " back office '', but they have refused multiple times. This has been going on for over 45 days. I am a XXXX retired senior ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ), receive my XXXX retirement funds by direct deposit and need access to these funds in order to pay my bills. Please help me resolve this very distressing situation.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (CA)

On XX/XX/year> I requested a balance transfer for {$53000.00} from my Barclays XXXX XXXX to my bank account. The account rep asked for my bank account number and nothing else. I have requested this same balance transfer for the last 3 years because of the great 0 % interest rate. I was told that it would take 2 weeks for the funds to arrive in my account. The other times I received the transfers within a couple days. It has been 40 days since I requested the transfer and the funds are not in my account. The biggest issue is that the balance and fees are on my account. Now they expect me to pay the monthly fee associated with the {$53000.00} balance that I never received. I have called Barclays over 15 times in the last 40 days and still have not received a satisfactory answer. I have been told that the funds have been transferred to a wrong location and that the rep should have taken my routing number ( which she did not request ). The customer service reps are just giving me the run around. They say it will take up to 2 billing cycles to finish the investigation. I will have to pay monthly payments for funds I never received. Please help me get this rectified.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (OH)

In XX/XX/2020 I was furloughed from my job that I held for XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX. Through NONE of my own decisions, choice or actions did I want to lose my job. The government shut us down because of Covid. I was in no way shape or form prepared for what that entailed for the next couple of years. Prior to the pandemic, I had a 100 % payment history, not one single collection or negative mark whatsoever on my credit report, check and see for yourself. I didnt ask to be furloughed, I didnt ask for not a single bit of that traumatizing and life altering event in my life. Now the end result of not being able to pay my bills, about XXXX negative collections on my credit report, I lost my vehicle to repossession when it was so close to being paid off, I cant even get a loan or a bank account at this time. Im nothing but a huge risk to everyone. Why? Because I lost my job due to a global pandemic that I had no control over?! Thats insane. I absolutely feel like people who were in the same boat as me should be given leniency and these negative things be taken off of our credit reports immediately. This is not fair at all. Covid has literally ruined my credit that I worked so hard for and now Im being punished extremely wrongfully due to something out of my control, a world wide disaster. I am a Government employee now, Department of Treasury, and I can not even open up a checking account at XXXX XXXX XXXX due to this. I feel like this is such a huge issue for some of us and I will not stop fighting until we get the relief we well deserve. Please, mentally and emotionally and physically, Covid has reeked enough havoc in our lives, now we have to live with this affect as well!? Im genuinely a good person and I would appreciate it so much if we could do something, anything, to help us people who are still being punished by that nightmare. Please take what I have said into consideration and I pray that you can put something into place to help us go back to a semi normal life again. Its been enough for way too long already as it is. Thank you for your time and understanding. Looking forward to hearing back from someone soon. Thanks again.
