Credit Card Fees
Posted date : Nov 4, 2017.
Dear Bird Talk,
Today, I spoke to a different person at Belk customer service regarding the bill with penalties which I received. This person agreed to drop $30.00 in penalties bringing my bill down to $42.00.
I paid with MasterCard but this person tried to charge me $15.00 for using it. I said absolutely not. She waived the fee.
They surely do try to take advantage of the customer at Belk in Florida.

Ed: Hi Karen – isn’t it amazing how many ways in which you can save money? I should point out that it is illegal under the merchant MasterCard and VISA contracts to charge an extra fee for paying by credit card. Any reader who encounters this should refuse to pay the fee and state the reason. If you question charges and ask for any specials, you may be surprised at the results. Everything from ordering a pizza to renewing your telephone or Internet service will probably have “hidden” specials, but you have to ask for them.
