Citibank Credit Card Complaint

APR or interest rate

Citibank Credit card department,

APR or interest rate California

I purchased a refrigerator at Best Buy and the customer representative set up the account for 18 months deferred interest. After 18 months over $1100.00 in interest was backed charged. I did n't receive any advance notice that the promotional interest free date was ending. Not one notice was emailed or mailed to me regarding the promotion ending and the charges that would occur. I did not receive any billing statements by email or postal mail in - 2016. I feel this a bait and switch tactic as there are no alerts or special notices emailed or sent to the customer after 18 months to indicate the end of the promotion. I was advised subsequently there is a 1 line small detail in the regular online statement. ( However I did not receive any emailed regular statements indicating this information ) Most customers will forget after 18 months without any reminders. I believe the interest should be removed as this is a bail and switch and I was not properly notified by email or postal mail of the change in terms. In addition they changed my billing to paperless without any notification, however I also did not even receive a regular email statement with the information.
