A few months ago, I took advantage of a 0 % for 18 months balance transfer offer from Bank of America ( BOA ) with a initial one-time balance transfer fee. I already had a roll-over balance ( for purchases ) on the card. I 've been paying well over the minimum payments monthly and my interest charges on the roll-over balance have not decreased. I called BOA to inquiry about why my interest charges were not decreasing and they informed me that all my payments were being applied to the balance transfer and not the roll-over balance. I thought I was paying toward the roll-over balance. This does not make sense because I performed the balance transfer so I would not have to pay off that balance for a period of time ( interest fee ). I asked if this could be adjusted and they responded " no. '' I would have to pay the entire roll-over balance in full and eliminate interest. I do n't think this is reasonable.
