BMO Harris Consumer Loan Complaint

Vehicle loan Problems when you are unable to pay Iowa

As I anticipated, BMO Harris Bank added a late fee to my bill this month. My mother called on -/-/- to make payment for me and they were going to add a - charge for paying over the phone. There is also a charge to pay online. They told her the only way they would not charge was if she sent a check. So she did send a check that day for the payment amount. I kept checking online to see if the check had been applied to my account but it was taking longer than I thought. My mom said the money was still in her account as well. I kept trying to get in contact with BMO as I anticipated they would add a late fee if the payment was not made by -/-/-. The check definitely arrived by -/-/- as it was sent first class normal mail. That never takes longer than a few days. BMO decided to add a late charge anyway. This is not right. They want to charge people to pay them no matter how people decide to do it - whether the service fee for over the phone or via internet, or whether a late fee for sending a check. In addition, now it says my account is in default when it really was not. This sets me back from being able to get online access even more. These are absurd practices done by a giant corporation trying to take advantage of the little guy.
