Credit card companies are notorious for their fees. If there's a way to further nickel and dime you, bet your bottom dollar on them finding it! Credit card companies use fine print and legal loopholes to get away with these sneaky tactics, but occasionally you may be charged a fee that you truly don't owe. In those cases, it's important to take specific steps to fix the error so your credit report is not negatively impacted. Watch the video below for our advice.

Dear Ken and Daria,

I'm being charged fees on a credit card I never activated. How can I correct this?
