I went to the Bank of America ( BoA ) branch XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY on Friday XXXX XXXX, 2015 to pay my credit card bill in person with the payment coupon provided by BoA for a bill due Tuesday XXXX XXXX, 2015. The teller misapplied my payment to another account. I called BoA to fix the error on Monday XXXX XXXX, 2015 and I was told by the BoA representative that BoA would charge me interest for 7-10 business days after which time they would retract the interest from my next bill and apply my payment. 

I pay my bill in full every month and have had this card for 25 years. My payments that day ( I made XXXX cash payments to the same account ), if properly applied, would be for the full billing amount - no interest would be paid to BoA. I am unhappy that BoA misapplied my payment even though my payment coupon was printed for the proper account and that they are charging my account interest that they otherwise would not be able to ( by misapplying my payment to another account they prevented me from paying off said account in full ). Their solution to allow the interest to accrue and then take it off my next statement is unacceptable. By delaying the transfer of my payment to the proper account for 7-10 business days they hurt my credit and fraudulently charge me interest that they are not entitled to. 

When I asked the representative for a reference number for this transaction ( moving the payment to the proper account ) I was informed that BoA offers no such reference. I asked her for her name so I could have some verification that I discovered and reported to BoA the error in applying my payment and she would only give her initials. By refusing to provide me with verification for my request to fix BoA 's error, and only providing me with the initials of the representative after I pressed her for some type of verification, BoA gives the appearance of trying to set up the customer to suffer further errors ( BoA can always say they never got my call to fix their error, for instance ) in order to charge consumers more interest fraudulently. Applying my payment to the proper account should be made the same day I reported the error, especially as I found and reported the error in advance of the the bill 's due date.
