My XXXX/XXXX/XXXX statement from Macy 's credit card indicated that my New Balance due was {$280.00} and this was due by XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I paid the entire New Balance on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I was issued another statement on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. This statement indicated that I was charged interest of {$4.00} ; however, I paid the previous balance in full before the due date. On the second page of my credit card bill for XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, the second sentence under " How to avoid paying interest on purchases '' explicitly says " We will not charge you any interest on purchases if you pay your New Balance by the payment due date each month. '' While this may not seem like a lot of money, I realized that this has happened to me in the past with the Macy 's credit card. Additionally, it makes me think that they are doing this to all of their customers. I have never had a credit card that still charges interest after I have paid the balance in full and on time. 

I called Macy 's and was explained that because I had a previous balance from my XXXX/XXXX/XXXX statement of {$91.00}, in which I was charged interest of {$2.00} in the XXXX/XXXX/XXXX statement, I was charged interest of {$4.00} in my XXXX/XXXX/XXXX statement. Their explanation to this interest charge was based on a note indicated in their XXXX/XXXX/XXXX statement. It is a long, difficult to follow note that I would be happy to supply upon request. Regardless, I am not familiar with consumer credit rules ; however, as stated previously, I am concerned that a credit card company is charging interest after balances are paid in full and on time, as this is something that I have not experienced with other creditors. 

I did not become aware of this extra interest fee until my XXXX/XXXX/XXXX statement arrived and the balance was {$6.00}. When I called Macy 's they indicated that this amount would be credited back to me, and the new balance would be XXXX dollars. While this issue was resolved, I still feel that it is something that warrants additionally concerns since this is likely happening to thousands of consumers.
