U.S. Bancorp Credit Card Complaint

U.S. Bancorp Credit card department,

APR or interest rate Wisconsin

In -/-/-, I received a mailed notice from Elan, who had taken over my credit cards from the prior company that had jurisdiction over them This notice informed me that Elan would be nearly doubling my interest rate on the credit card ( s ). The notice did not indicate any justification or reason whatsoever as to why this was happening. Considering that I was a loyal customer with the specific credit cards in question and had a good payment history, this was unacceptable. Per the instructions on the notification, I mailed a signed letter to the address provided that prohibited Elan from raising the interest rates on any credit cards that I may have with them. The deadline was for a date in -/-/-. I mailed my notice on -/-/-. When I received my statement for the -/-/- due date that year, I immediately noticed that Elan had blatantly disregarded my letter and had had raised the interest rate anyway. I immediately informed the company of my letter and they stated they had not received it. Even though I was informing them over the phone right then and there that the notice had been sent per their instructions, they


-/-/- which is what they claim. This caused my minimum amount due to skyrocket, essentially preventing me from making my payments. This was irrelevant any way, as I had never authorized the increased interest rate percentage in the first place. I mailed the same date notice to them again in -/-/-, but they still claim to have never received it and never took any action. I continued to make good faith payments and did several follow ups but no one at Elan resolved the situation, so after over a year of this, payment ceased until Elan properly resolved the issue. They were infromed of this by phone multiple times. In early -/-/- I spoke to supervisor in their escalation department who identified herself as -. On the same day I spoke with her, I FA-ED my letter to her directly at her request and have a receipt of this fax that shows that Elan successfully did receive it. She informed me that she would finally resolve these issues and would be contacting me on the following Tuesday to confirm that she had taken action and resolved all issues to MY SATISFACTION. Not only did I never receive a call or any type of contact whatsoever by the agreed upon date, but when I called the escalation department back and asked to speak with -, the male representative laughed and hung up. These calls are on record with my phone provider as evidence.
