Consumer complaint received 2017-05-23
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Overcharged for something you did purchase with the card
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (NY)

I bought tickets to a  XXXX  show in  XX/XX/XXXX . I used my Bank of America  Card whi ch I have not used in 2 years or so, maybe more. I began getting monthly fees for a " subscription '' ) for $  XXXX /month from the  Theater or t heir provider ( I purchased the tickets  - a one time   event -online at the theater 's website ). I immediately contacted this service provider, known as   XXXX   XXXX  , and requested the fees stop as I did not subscribe to any such service, I merely purchased the tickets online as directed by the theater 's site.   I got an email ( dated  X/XX/2017 - addended ) from   XXXX   XXXX    stating since I was within a grace period I would be unsubscribed and my previous fees refunded.   The next month I received a late notice to my B of A CC account and an additional monthly subscription fee. I contacted B of A and explained the situation. I was transferred to the claims department where I explained it again. I spent neatl y 30 minut es explaining my situation to them and they transferred me to to fourth and fifth person. It seemed they were trying to dismiss my complaint through attrition.   I never use that card yet they allowed this suspicion charge occur and to repeat after complaint. I feel as though both companies are using the " small fee disguise '' to defraud me as these tiny charges keep coming and adding up.   It should also be known that while B of A applied a late fee to this card for these hidden charges - something I would have expected them to be on guard for - I have more than enough in their rewards program to cover these charges of total {$17.00} ( rewards total $  100+ ) Thi s is not a matter of not being able to pay but of certain intrusive charges.   This  may be  insignificant $ but it is adversely affecting my credit, something I have maintained in excellent status -- no late payments  in 20+  years until this.
