FLEET CARD, CALLED ME WITH A OFFER OF A INTEREST FOR 8.75 FIXED . I SAID OK AND AGREED OVER THE PHONE .I THEN BALANCED TRANSFERED MY CITI CARD TO SAVE ON THE INTEREST.

AFTER RECIEVING MY FIRST BILL STATEMENT I NOTICED MY RATE WAS NOT 8.75 BUT 10.75 .I THEN CALLED FLEET THEIR RESPONCE WAS ,WE DO NOT GO BY WHAT YOU WERE TOLD OVER THE PHONE WE GO BY WHATS ON YOUR FIRST STATEMENT.

AFTER ARGUING WITH THE LADY ON THE PHONE FOR 10 MINUTES AND HEREING THE SAME REPLY , THAT THEY GO BY WHATS ON YOUR FIRST STATEMENT NOT WHAT THE SALES REP. TOLD YOU. I DECIDED TO GIVE UP. I TELL YOU IM SICK AND TIRED OF WHITE COLLAR AMERICA .I JUST BORROWED FROM BANK ONE TO PAY OFF THESE CARDS .
