Consumer Narrative
I opened a care credit account to purchase XXXX XXXX I was told I would have no interest for 24 months and then it would be between 29.99 % - 39.99 %. On XX/XX/2023 when the two years was up they charged me {$1300.00} in interest fees. I called and they said that was correct but they never sent any further info stating they could charge me over XXXX XXXX XXXX interest. In fact, to this day, they've never even sent me the card so I can only supply you with the last four digits I can see on their online portal. On the phone today they said I had to pay interest on the principle balance from my initial purchase only. My purchase was {$2400.00} and I had paid it down to {$1000.00} until I used the card at a vet to care for my sick cat. So per their own information I should only be charged interest on that {$1000.00}. This is predatory lending and I would have never agreed to this, ever. I have spent my life as a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I read all the fine print before I sign anything. This bank is actuing fraudulently and in doing so have overdrafted my account and are ruining my credit. I have made more than the minimum payment, on time, every month since I opened this account.
