Consumer Narrative
To whomever it may concern, With complaint is directed towards Banco Popular de Puerto Rico ( license from XXXX XXXX XXXX ) I had conversation on the phone with a few representatives and the outcome of that conversation was bazar as they can actually help anyone. They have to talk to the higher ups and you'll receive a letter in the mail with a response??!! Another year has passed and with Covid-19, it is not possible to travel, so I am unable to use my XXXX XXXX ( airline miles ) card as it was intended to be used. Travel is not possible right now with the pandemic, so i called to either cancel the card or have the annual fee waived for another year to give the world situation a chance to create a better travel environment. I was told that I am stuck paying the annual fee ( which had already been charged XXXX. I feel this is unfair as I have already paid the initial annual fee when I opened this card up, and with the inability to use XXXX because of COVID-19, I feel I do not need to pay another annual fee as I can not use the perks the card is intended to be used for. Just cancel the card and will be on my way. With that said, I would like the annual fee of {$140.00} to be waived as it is posted to my account as of right now, so i can cancel this card. When I reach out to the company they say they have no power I can not talk to anyone with this sort of power ... that I will just get a letter in the mail. It so unprofessional to not be able to talk to someone that can fix this problem. Thank you for your time,
