I have a credit card with Suntrust bank with a {$2500.00} limit. About {$2000.00} is on the card. Minimum monthly payment was about {$59.00} - I 've been paying {$65.00} a month on time for XXXX years with no lateness. Was XXXX late in XXXX of this year - by mistake, did n't realize they 'd be close due to a holiday - bank assessed a {$35.00} late fee and raised my minimum payment. In XXXX was also XXXX day late due to XXXX that closed almost all business in TN. ( I live in XXXX ). but for the past XXXX months they 've still gotten {$65.00} every single month, only being late those XXXX times. Still, they assessed {$140.00} in late fees - and have raised the minimum to the point where I ca n't pay it - even after they 've been getting paid for XXXX months absolutely on time. They did agree to waive the late fees but even after paying my normal payment they 're insisting I pay them {$75.00} more this month or they 'll continue to assess " late fees '' and wo n't adjust the minimum payment. they claim there 's nothing they can do - and they wo n't guarantee my minimum payment will go back to where it was. I 'm between jobs and struggling to pay my basic bills - do I have any protections here? It 's not like I was weeks or months late - and it seems to me if they waived the late fees, it 's admitting they got paid. For them to act like the 'minimum payment ' they 've ( arbitrarily ) set is somehow beyond their control seems ludicrous. I still have good credit, and have XXXX other loans with them, both of which have been paid on time for years. 

help! 

best, XXXX XXXX, TN
