Bank of America Credit Card Complaint

Bank of America Credit card department,

Other fee District of Columbia

Last month I owed a small amount on a Bank of America Credit Card because it is my alternate card and I do n't use it much. I was 3 days late paying, but I paid the amount charged in full. Bank of America charged $1.00 late fee, which they credited it back to me after I called but they did not consider that a payment, even though that credit zeroed out my account the same day as my payment. This month, I accrued some charges on my card and the statement period closed yesterday, -. Today I see that they charged me 1 % of the total amount I spent for CURRENT month and called it INTEREST CHARGED ON PURCHASES. I am filing this complaint because this is a new fee that Bank of America has implemented and I was unaware of it until I had to call to have the fee removed. After this incident, I went back to check previous statements and I see that they seem to have started -/-/- and first appeared as a number of $0.00 charges on my - statement and each monthly statement thereafter. They were $0.00 line items so I did n't think much about them. I have had this card since at least -/-/-. I did not agree to any changes in my account. They refunded me the fees, but I believe this practice is deceptive and is probably generating a good amount of fees from people not paying as close attention to their statements.
