Bank of America Credit Card Complaint

APR or interest rate

Bank of America Credit card department,

APR or interest rate California

I 've had a bank of america credit card for - years. This month I was charged - $ interest fee on purchases, with a purchases balance of - $ that ran out the - percent apr on -/-/2016. I had been diligently paying the card off, but found out that those payments were always alloted to my promotional 0 % offer of balance transfer currently at - $ that does n't expire for another year. They say they have the right to apply the payments to the oldest promotional offer, but the wierd thing about it is that they intentionally were not showing me that truth on my statements. In my statements for months now they state the - promotional offers and their expiration but next to them where they say " balance subject to interest rate '' all the lines just have had -. So I was never shown the balances of my promotional rates, They kept that to themselves. Basicly so I would n't notice that I was paying off my - percent and piling up my now to be 20 % interest rate. This is underhanded and a direct lack of transparency that misleads the consumer. I 'm wiser now but in worse financial status that I would have been had I known, had they disclosed in their monthly statements what my balances subject to different rates were. Which seems to be the whole point of having that interest summary at the bottom of every statement. But its intentionally left undisclosed so that I do n't have enough control or choice over my relationship with the card issuer.
