Cheapest way to pay off an International Credit Card
I have a credit card in Australia with a large balance on it. Is there a bank that will do an % balance transfer from the Australian card to a British credit card. Alternatively would it be cheaper for me to use one of my credit cards here to pay off the balance in Australia and then find an interest free option in the UK.…

CREDIT CARDS - ACCESS TO ENABLE VIEWING STATEMENTS / TRANSACTIONS
I have carried out some searches on the forum about this and want to avoid as far as possible going over old ground. My wife and I use one credit card. She is the main account holder and I a supplemental card holder/user. I appreciate there are a number of potential issues that may arise from that but I don't wish to get…

Confused a bit about balance transfers
I'm new to the balance transfer thing, my current long term 0% with Barclaycard is due to end in Sept, but I'll need more time to pay off what I'm about to spend on it and can't afford to pay a full balance to not get charged interest. I know I'm being a bit thick, but when the balance transfer offer is say 34mths does…

The co-operative bank Membership Cashback Credit Card
I never see it mentioned but if someone has a co-op membership they are eligible to join the cashback credit card with no fees. I thought that this may come in handy alongside the existing Santander Edge Credit Card and Barclaycard Reward Card in getting cashback for those that will lose the Chase 1% cashback on purchases…

Switching to a different Mastercard credit card - which one and how?
For several years now I have been using a Mastercard from Tesco Bank, which has always been paid off in full each month. So while they have never had a problem with me, I'm now after a different provider simply because I'm sick to death of Tesco's app not showing the true situation with my account, and payments in always…

I am in arrears with a certain UK credit card company. I am close to defaulting.

What can I do? (think I was irresponsibly approved a credit card)
So I applied for a credit card in 2021, I was employed for 2 months at the time (and job before that was employed 3 weeks left to go to that job, and before that I was unemployed for 6 months and all jobs before were temps) and I was approved and the next month after I was fired, so naturally I used the card to stay on top…

Credit card fraud
I took out a Lloyds credit card last April purely for the money transfer option which was 24 months at 0% as it was a far cheaper option than a short term loan. I haven't used it at all since the transfer and it is in the safe. This month I went online to pay my monthly payment and noticed 4 Amazon transactions on it that…

A warning - stay way off Barclaycard when abroad
I'm sure many of you savvy folk know they charge 2.99% on non-sterling transactions so using them to spend abroad or draw cash makes no financial sense. However I did use them for the deposit of a car rental because I wanted the section 75 protection and as it's just a deposit no real transaction takes place - they just…

Fraud on an MBNA credit card - a (mostly) good experience
A couple of weeks ago, I logged on to my MBNA account and immediately saw that there was something wrong - the total owed was about £1,200 when it should have been about £50. A closer look revealed three fraudulent transactions a week earlier - two debits and (very strangely) a £50 credit. There was no way that these could…
