When the figures disagree

Your statement says one number, this page says another

Send it here. The balance, the APR, the issuer and the minimum your statement actually printed are enough to rerun the arithmetic line by line and show you where the two calculations part company.

Each message is opened by someone, and the ones that can be answered are answered with the rule or the record the answer rests on named in the reply: your cardholder agreement, Regulation Z, or the Federal Reserve series behind a benchmark rate. An exchange that would be useful to more than one reader can be rewritten with nothing identifying left in it, and it is published only after you have said it can be.

Not advice, and not a recommendation

The calculator estimates from the figures typed into it. Your balance, your APR, the fees on the account and the minimum formula printed on your statement are set by the card issuer, and their current terms are the ones that count. Nothing here recommends a card or a repayment plan. Anyone struggling with a debt is better served by a non-profit credit counselling service than by this inbox.
