Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I was charged interest after I paid by balance in full XXXX day prior to the end of the billing cycle. The interest charged was XXXX on a balance of XXXX. When I paid my balance in full, I paid it on XX/XX/XXXX. My due date ( end of billing cycle ) is XX/XX/XXXX. I selected " pay balance in full ''. On XX/XX/XXXX, Citibank charged me XXXX in interest in the amount above. This makes no sense. I called to find out why. The explanation was that I did not pay the balance in full prior to the end of the billing cycle, and the interest accrued between that time and the end of the billing cycle. They said they allow this to happen " in the event I need to make more purchases. '' This also makes no sense. 

I did not understand the man 's explanation, but he was adamant this was how they did things. I told him it sounded more like a pre-payment penalty which is illegal in Washington, or Citibank just wanted to make money off of people. 

According to the XXXX statement, the balance I paid had accrued interest of XXXX. If the XXXX is the interest the balance accrues between the previous statement and the billing date ( XXXX ), Citibank must update their computer records to show this, so that when people go into pay their bill, the amount accurately includes interest. 

This is the third time this has happened with Citibank. There does not seem to be a way to completely pay off a balance with this company as they send you another bill for interest. For all I know, interest will accrue on the interest, and they could continue sending me bills? How will I ever know when I have a XXXX balance?
