Date of Complaint: March 30, 2016

Company Official Name: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION

State: OH

Product: Credit card

Issue: Payoff process

Full Complaint:
The payoff process used by USAA breaks the XXXX XXXX credit card XX/XX/XXXX. I made payments to the credit card for XXXX from XXXX time frame and all payments were applied to a balance transfer rate of 1.9 % instead of the 18.15 % interest rate. Anything over the minimum payment is to be applied to the highest interest rate on the account. Furthermore, I went back to previous statements dating back years and discovered USAA charged full monthly interest on purchases even if the purchase balance existed for a 5 days ( for example ). Over a period of years, both of these equate to large quantities of interest being wrongfully charged to my account.

Date of Complaint: March 30, 2016

Company Official Name: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION

State: OR

Product: Credit card

Issue: APR or interest rate

Full Complaint:
I have a USAA credit card. I received an offer from USAA for 0 % interest on new purchases until XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I accepted the offer on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I had no previous balance forward on the card, and I paid the entire XXXX/XXXX/XXXX statement in full. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I was charged {.00} in interest on new purchases. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I was charged {.00} in interest on new purchases. Twice I contacted USAA to receive credit for the erroneous interest charges. Both times, the representative agreed that I should not have been charged interest. Both times, I was put on hold off and on for approximately 30 minutes. Neither time was the agent able to issue the credit. The second time I called, I was told that a ticket was opened with the IT department, and that it would be resolved. I still have not received the credit. This is ridiculous. I am no longer charging to this card because obviously they ca n’t figure it out. USAA owes me {.00}, plus an hour of my life. & lt ; This account was recently converted to a XXXX account, which is the number I am providing. The interest charges were on the previous XXXX
