Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter dated XX/XX/24 informing me that I was approved for a XXXX XXXX Credit Card. I had XXXX  XXXX  on XX/XX/24. I received my first bill on XX/XX/24 and the bill included an interest charge of {$5.00}. I contacted XXXX XXXX and questioned how I could be charged interest on a purchase when my agreement states : Your due date is at least XXXX  days after the close of each billing period. We will not charge you interest on purchases if you pay your entire balance by the due date each month. 

I was not given the opportunity to pay the entire balance, in fact, did not receive an bill prior to being charged interest. 

When I contacted XXXX XXXX, the customer service representative explained that I made a purchase toward the end of the billing period and that is why I was charged interest. When I tried, several times to explain that I was not even given an opportunity to pay off the entire balance ( since this was my first bill ) - the representative kept stating that I was charged interest because my purchase was at the end of the billing period. Interest was charged the day after I was notified that I was approved for the credit.

I asked to have the {$5.00} charge removed due to the fact that I had not received a bill or given an opportunity to pay off the balance prior to being charged and due to my agreement with the financing company. That request was denied.
