I had an agreement with Chase for two years. It was a balance transfer for a low inrerest rate for the life of the loan.
This week I get a notice that they are raising the minimum payment from 2% to 5%--jumping the payment from 200$ a month to just over 500$ mo.
The only thing they would let me do was to increase the interest rate and keep the minimum payment about the same as it had been. I don't think this is legal as I had the rest of the loan to go. It had never been late and always much more than the minimum pay.
Has this happened to anyone else? I don't know what to think or do about it but like all other people this might have happened to I think I was scre***ed.
If other credit card companies follow suit--I will be ruined...
