Will I be punished for paying interest by the new rules in Credit Card Company

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org
My credit card company offered a new service whereby I can withdraw money but what they failed to tell me was that they would charge me interest for this service, previously with all my transactions if I paid the bill before due date I paid no interest. however this time I had to pay because of new ruling, it wasn’t much as I paid straight away but I am very upset by the fact that I have paid interest whereas all my life until now I have never paid a penny in interest. I would like to know if I will be punished for this and what can I do about it to rectify the situation
If you made a mistake then you should repent and be careful next time. If you are forced by the law then leave the credit card.
