TD Bank US Holding Company Credit Card Complaint

My boyfriend and I purchased a sofa from - and we have a year to pay it off interest free. Before we made the purchase I asked if I would be able to set up automatic monthly payments and was told I could. I just got the bill ( which is through TD Bank ) and got online to set up the monthly payments and their system is designed to only allow me to make monthly payments in the amount of the minimum payment due - which will not have us pay off the sofa in time and would then have us pay interest in an amount almost equal to the cost of the sofa itself. In addition, the loan is set up as a credit card so there are late fees if you do n't pay monthly. I called customer service, assuming there was a technical glitch that would n't allow me to enter a larger amount, and was told by the associate that this is how the system is designed. She said I can set up recurring payments for the minimum amount and then call each month if I want to pay more than that. They promise an interest free loan and then are putting significant barriers in place to cost the consumer extra money. These policies are predatory and need to be changed.
