USAA Continues to violate payment allocation rules according to the Credit Card Act. " PAYMENT ALLOCATION Subject to certain exceptions, when a consumer makes a payment on his or her account, issuers are now required to allocate the amount of that payment that exceeds the minimum payment first to balances that are subject to highest interest rates and then to each successive balance bearing the next highest rate of interest. '' I have a promotional balance with a 0 % interest rate. My 1 Regular Purchase for $450.00 and my 1 Cash Advance for $500.00 both accrue interest at 16.15 % and 16.40 %. I 've been making several payments way above my minimum payment which has been $0.00 on all my statements since -/-/2016. USAA has not been applying the payments to the highest balances with the highest interest rates first according the Credit Card Act rules or their own credit card agreement. From USAA 's Credit Card Agreement : " How we apply Payments. We may apply Minimum Payments and other credits other than payments in any order we deem appropriate. Amounts paid in excess of a Minimum Payment are applied to the balance with the highest APR. '' USAA has continued to adjust my payments to balances in order to continue subjecting me to paying interest on balances that should have long been paid off. I previously contacted USAA directly regarding my concerns and filed a previous complaint, yet nothing has changed. I was even told by a senior USAA executive that I would be getting the interest I 've paid reversed, that never happened either. Is there another federal agency I should be reporting this blatant violation too? At what point should I contact an attorney or file for legal action?
