Consumer complaint received 2023-09-14 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/21 we entered into a contract for new windows with a company in XXXX XXXX called XXXX XXXX. We agreed to an 18-month " same as cash '' loan offered by Wells Fargo in the form of a credit card ( and associated charge ). We were told that there would be no interest due for 18 months. We were not told if the balance wasn't paid at the end of 18 months, that we would owe interest calculated from the beginning of the loan ( rather than the remaining balance ). Regrettably, we did not put this date on our calendar. 

Today we looked at the Wells Fargo statement and saw that they were charging us {$8600.00} interest on the previous balance of {$8200.00} for a new statement balance of {$16000.00}. We called Wells Fargo and they told us we were now in the XXXX month and that the interest represented interest on the total purchase of the windows 18 months ago, going forward. 

We have looked at the credit card agreement ( attached ) and in the special terms area, it says they can do this. We find this very surprising but nevertheless, that is what it says. 

If this is legal, and we assume it is, our primary complaint is that there was no warning ( an email, a letter, a note on the previous statement ), that the term of the special offer ( 18 months no interest ) was nearing the end and that we would owe interest calculated on the total purchase price. 

Had we received notice, we would have paid off the entire balance before the end of the special term. As proof, today, after becoming aware of this, and after speaking to the representative from Wells Fargo, we paid off the entire balance ( {$16000.00} ) with an immediate bank transfer. 

We consider this a " predatory practice '' by Wells Fargo ( and others ). It is designed to hope borrowers forget the date upon which they have to pay the balance and have an immense amount of interest charged to them. We believe that their lending practice should include some type of reminder and warning that this will take place if the balance is not reduced or eliminated. 

Thank you for your consideration in this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I financed some furniture through Synchrony bank/XXXXy in 2015 XXXX I paid off the debt right away and never used the card they sent. Now 8 years later I get sent a new card. I call to cancel the card and they tell me the account doesn't exist. After speaking to multiple managers the only information I have gathered is : Accounts are automatically closed after 3 years and out of the system after 7.

This new card has no expiration date, I was told that their cards don't expire. If Cards don't expire why was I issued a new one? 
There is now no record of the old account and they don't know where the new one came from. 
They can't send me anything confirming that I have no open accounts and owe no money. They also can not make outbound calls so I have to sit here the entire morning on hold. 

By their own terms they must have closed my account after 3 years, which means this new card was opened without my permission. 

They don't think this happened, but can't confirm it and can not say with certainty exactly what happened or where this card came from, but want me to just trust that everything is okay. 

XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) they will only send me something stating that I owe no money and have no open accounts if they can open a complaint that would affect my credit report.
