Hello, I applied for and received a secured Bank of America Visa in XXXX, 2014. 
That month, I was charged an annual maintenance fee of {$39.00}. I had no idea that the annual maintenance fee would be charged the same month as the opening of my account. 
I did n't charge anything on this card for several months so there was no need for me to check my balance. 
I had no idea that the annual fee had been charged to my account and as a result, since I was n't using the card, I did n't make any payments. 
In XXXX, I realized that my account was in default due to the annual payment charge and I immediately paid the entire amount. Now, all XXXX credit bureaus are showing a past due entry of XXXX days. 

I have attached a copy of my credit card agreement from Bank of America which outlines the stipulations that I had to agree to in order to obtain the card. The {$39.00} annual maintenance fee is mentioned, However there is NO mention at all of the date when the annual fee is supposed to be charged. Nothing at all. 

If there are consumers such as myself who receive a card and do not make charges, it is only logical that they would assume that there are no payments due on their card. The agreement says absolutely nothing about when to expect the annual fee to be charged. It should at least say that the charge will appear " X '' days after the card is approved in order to give the consumer a head 's up. 
I would like the " Late Payment '' remark removed from all XXXX credit reporting bureaus. The date that the charge was going to be made should have clearly been included in the Bank of America credit agreement. 

Thank you very much for your time, XXXX XXXX
