Consumer Narrative
While reviewing my credit card statement, I noticed there was ( 2 ) different interest for credit. ( 1 ) One was interest for charges to my account for purchases and ( 2 ) Another was interest charges for cash advance After reading the policy of my credit card agreement, I come to realize that USAA Savings Bank, USAA Federal savings Bank, the servicer of my USAA credit card, I believe based on my understanding of the agreement is " vague '' and does not explain the double interest charge on my credit card. I called customer representative ( 2 ) times to explain the 2 different interest charges ; one of the reps said I can pay the cash advance amount owed as long as I specify the amount and what it is for. In another call, I explained that I wanted to do just that and was told that I had to pay the entire credit amount for this extra interest rate charge to go away. This is for ( 1 ) one credit card. For instance : If I have a total credit limit on my card for {$500.00}. I use {$200.00} of my credit and get a cash advance for {$100.00}, I am being charged the same interest rate on both transactions, example : {$200.00} + 2 % interest and {$100.00} + 2 % interest, when asked if I could just pay off the cash advance amount of {$200.00} which will still be payback on credit owed, I was denied with them telling me in order to get rid of cash advance interest, I have to pay off the total amount owed to my credit used which is {$300.00}. This is just an example of how the credit card issuer is practicing unfairly.
