Filed my i130 and i485 and was denied due to the credit card form (not sure why probably because it was submitted during the cost change end of May)

This isn't super important right now, but you weren't denied, your filing was rejected. This is important if the question "have you ever been denied..." comes up. USCIS is a stickler for terminology.

This comment is a side tangent, but USCIS really shouldn't reject anyone over filing fees. They should just send a bill to the applicant stating the amount owed before the case can proceed. It could even be optional to send payment, and then have the ability for their USCIS website to pay your balance. The IRS doesn't have any problems with this pay online or pay later concept. Maybe USCIS should talk more to other government agencies that are quite a bit more competent.

"Collections" agencies would cost a lot of money.  The administrative costs of a billing system would be prohibitive, imho.   The IRS is taxpayer funded.  USCIS is fee-funded.
