I have been using FIA Card Services since 1994. I never missed or was ever late on a payment yet the interest charge on my account was 18.9%. When I asked for a lower rate, the agent got snotty with me. I transferred my balance to the local credit union at 7.6% APR and asked FIA to close my account. Even though I made this request in writing and paid the account off in full, they took the balance to zero and did not close the account. I called and requested that the account be closed and was told that it would be taken care of. We'll see.
