Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: CLGF Holdco 1, LLC
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
This is for XXXX XXXX who is the main company that holds and or administers credit on behalf of multiple credit. I have two credit cards with them one with milestone and one with destiny. Both credit cards were close to being maxed out a year ago due to an emergency. Over the past year plus I have been making the minimum payment and sometimes a few dollars more. The balance on the account continues to go up instead of down due to the amount of fees being charged. The minimum payment is {$50.00} per month, however, I am charged XXXX XXXX  {$20.00} per month for a maintenance fee in addition to {$20.00} per month for credit protection, and an additional XXXX dollars per month for interest. The {$50.00} I pay per month does not even cover the interest maintenance and credit protection. Therefore my balance continues to go up and was recently over the limit due to the balance solely and progressively increasing instead of decreasing. I have not used either card in well about a year or so, possibly longer. It is ridiculous that I have been paying the minimum payments for a year straight and the balance is higher now than what it was a year ago. This can not be legal for them to do this because how am I supposed to pay these cards off if they are charging me more than what my monthly payment is. I am being a responsible consumer by paying my bill on time each and every month and when I can, I add a little extra to it however, it does essentially no good because what Im being charged monthly is is more than my minimum payment and forget it even knocking anything off of the principal. My payment doesnt even cover the interest and fees therefore there is nothing left over to even apply towards the principal. When I initially used both of these cards a year ago, Im pretty certain I didnt have them completely maxed out that over the year because of the excess charges they are now at their max. Please help.
