I complained. They offered to let me keep my lower minimum payment, but they would raise my interest rate from 5.5 percent APR to 7.99. I used the calculators at your website at DebtProofLiving.com to see what interest I would pay with each scenario. I kept my current terms after I learned I would pay less in interest, even taking into consideration the $10 monthly fee. Then, I filed complaints with anyone who would listen. Thank you for your recommendation to report complaints to the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC.gov). When I threatened to contact the comptroller, they refunded three months of finance charges to my account. Thanks to your information and calculators, I feel better informed. Thank you. -- Theresa, email Dear Theresa: Good for you! Please let us know when you reach $0 so we can celebrate, too. Dear Mary: I have an engagement ring with an appraised value of $11,500.
