Bank of America Credit card department,
In - of 2014, I attempted to complete a balance transfer from my Bank of America card to a different card with a lower interest rate. The transfer for some reason did n't go through and the $2500.00 credit card balance was returned immediately back to Bank of America. What I did n't realize until now, is that they converted that $2500.00 credit card balance to a cash advance balance, which has a much higher interest rate. It was never a cash advance, it was a failed attempt at a balance transfer. I 've been paying an extra 4 % interest on that - for a year and it has been expensive. Also, my payments are not going entirely for paying off the highest interest part of the card, they are being applied equally to both the credit balance and the Cash advance '' balance instead of directly to the highest balance part of the card. If they would have applied my payments over the last year to the correct balance, it would be paid off by now. When I called them to ask for a resolution, the - from BAnk of America just kept interrupting me and saying it 's a cash advance, it 's a cash transaction '' again and again, when she had already said your credit balance that you tried to transfer was immediately returned to us. '' She admitted it was a credit balance that was immediately returned, but refused to honor the credit balance interest rate. Please help me fight these evil people.
