I was told if I transferred my balance from other credit cards I would get 0% interest for the first year. I was told I would have to pay 3% interest on the transferred balance, which is normal. This 3% interest is normally added to the transferred balance. So the bank manager of the Fair Haven, NJ bank, Michael, took my information and put it on the computer to request a balance transfer of about 9,000.00. I was expecting my first bill to be about $ 100.00. You can image my surprise when my first bill was $ 466.00! THEYPUTTHE3% TRANSFERFEEONMYFIRSTPAYMENT!!! How many people can afford an extra bill of $ 366.00? I had to borrow money to pay my first bill! I was never told this would happen. I have done this several times before, and I have never had a credit card company put this charge on the first bill. The balance transfer fee is always added on the credit card balance. When I called the credit card company and my bank they did not do anything to correct the problem. They said the information was in the fine print. I said I never saw the fine print because it was done through the bank manager of Fair Haven, NJ, WHONEVERDISCLOSEDTHISTOME! Long story short, they did not care. Just pay it I was told. This bank’s service has gone right down the drain. I feel like I was tricked into transferring my credit cards to the so they could get this fee up front. I could have transferred this amount to many other companies(I checked) and NOT paid this up-front fee, my credit rating is very good. I don’t know how they are allowed to get away with this. It should be illegal. The rest of you people should BEWAREOFTHISBANK.
