At 8:45am on August 2007, I made an instantaneous e-payment on my account on the due date.
I received a warning that if I did not agree to an additional $15 fee, my on-time payment would still be considered a day late.
To avoid a bruise on my credit report, I paid the extortion.
I wrote a polite letter to HouseHold's Customer Service address, requesting the return of my $15. The letter was ignored.
I wrote two online messages.
HouseHold Bank sent a friendly reply, declining to return my $15. My polite follow up message was ignored.
With an interest rate of over 18%, HouseHold Bank has earned well over a thousand of dollars on my account over the years. That was according to our agreement; I don't fault it for that.
I deal with a number of banks; everyone, except HouseHold Bank honor their due dates. This compliant letter only addresses the latest of 4 due date frauds. I should have closed the account the first time.
