Tribute Mastercard is not complying with the new credit card laws.
First of all you can not view statements online. If you do not get a statement they want to charge you for it. This is a normal for most credit card companies yes. However if you have not gotten the last 3 statements and your address is correct. You can not see your payment numbers. Most companies allow you to see statements online. According to the new credit card laws, they are required to educate you on when your credit card payment will be be applied and how long it will take to pay you credit card off. I have done the math and only 4 dollars a month goes to the statement balance.
So for a 300 dollar balance.,
a 9.95 dollar maintnence fee a month x 12= 119.14
and 14.95 in interest a month = 179.40
A minimum payment of 29.04 = 359.28
=60.75 applied to your account balance.
This would take 5 years to pay off if you pay the minimum payment.
TOTAL INTEREST 595.70 IN ACCOUNT MAINT FEES
AND 717.16 IN INTEREST
Total paid on a 300 dollar balance: 1312.16 over 5 years for a 300 dollar balance
you tell me if this is fair lending or not???
