Wells Fargo Home - - Credit Card Program payment calculation is deceptive beyond belief ( it is so complicated it is hard to explain it all ). We used their charge card in - for windows at 0 % for 60 months no interest if paid off after 60 months. The payment was divided among 60 months. In - we added a charge for Blinds that was 0 % for 12 months. What they did not explain is how the payment was calculated for the - different terms. We paid every payment for every charge on time until the last charge. We did not realize that the term was slightly different for the 12 month term. The 12 month " special rate deal amount was deferred interest, Wells Fargo only billing the minimum payment not dividing into - equal payments which we would have paid off after 12 months. Instead the charge ( minimum pmt ) was combined with the 60 month term, but the statement did not show what was getting paid, as it is not separated on the bill. After 12 months it was n't paid due to misunderstanding the terms, therefore we were charged the entire year


if that is n't high enough - since our credit score is in the - range ) to the 28.24 % If we had realized and paid the entire amount, we would then be short for the 60 month term because that amount is listed in small print in a separate sentence, so technically we 'd be in default on - payments. The online payment option makes this very easy to overlook because you need to open the statement to realize that the Special Terms balance is due. The charge was put in my name, but my husband was paying the bills. You need a computer accounting program to figure out how the Wells Fargo bills the charges. Wells Fargo said it was up to the merchant to explain the credit card terms. We always make our payments on time and we even got caught on this -. I would recommend never adding - different terms to the same account. We paid off the balance today and will never, ever use Wells Fargo or any other " Big Bank. '' We are so upset because this is pretty much close to scam as far as I am concerned. The amount due to avoid interest should be on the front page with the bill, not on the second page in a paragraph format.
