Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Friday 19th February 2016.

Narrative (may be redacted).

This is regarding the RCI Mastercard from Barclaycard.

I set automated payments through my online banking for a transfer I did over a year ago and payments were happening without any problem. The on XXXX XXXX, XXXX I learned that I owed over {$200.00} dollars in late fees, which was unexpected given the automated payments. I called and was told there had been an interest rate change that I did n't know about. Anyway, not only I proceeded to pay that fee but I also asked what the balance amount was so that I could pay it in full and have XXXX balance. The proceeded to pay the full amount but then on XXXX XXXX, XXXX I get a statement indicating a balance of close to {$1000.00}. Note that I made no use whatsoever of the credit card. I called again and the representative said it was balance left from the last payment. I insisted that I paid the full amount I was told to be at XXXX balance because I did n't want to have to pay interests. So then I asked again for the full amount to have XXXX balance and I paid immediately. Then last night, XXXX XXXX, XXXX I get yet another statement indicating that I still owe {$2.00}. This is unacceptable! I called and was told it was interest. Why is RCI Mastercard Barclay doing this? The only explanation is that by ripping of a few dollars out of hundreds of thousands of customers they are ripping XXXX dollars from us. I the end the representative waved that payment but ( a ) I may still get another statement next month and ( b ) the issue is not the amount but the act.
There should be a Class Action Suit against RCI Mastercard Barclay because this is deliberate abuse. I demanded all my conversations with RCI Mastercard Barclay to be recorded so that they can be subpoena.
It is the responsibility of the authorities to take action on this.
