They have only come to realise it this week the…

Section 75/CRA claims with Amex

After a couple of years of service, it's suddenly stopped navigating around the house (possibly related to a firmware update, but I can't easily prove that) - so became completely useless, six weeks outside of the warranty. I spoke to the manufacturer, who couldn't offer…

When Doing a Balance Transfer, Is the Fee Due Straight Away or Added to the Balance?
Hi, I've recently moved four credit card balances to TSB with total fees around the £200 mark. They've added the fees to the first statement produced after the transfers went through. Is this normal practice? I thought the fees went onto the balance so you could pay the debt off over time. Thanks.

NatWest are stopping their Buy Now Pay Later card , any alternatives?
I was invited by NatWest to take this out last year. Nice small limit of £750, great for smaller purchases that I could spread interest free over 4 months. Last week I got a letter saying they are closing BNPL for everyone. Do other banks offer something similar? It was great for me as I only needed one app for all my…

Barclaycard declined Credit Card application despite being pre approved, appeal or apply elsewhere
Applied for a Barclaycard 0% charge and 0% transfer in order to pay off another credit card that I was about to pay off with a bonus but was (quite rightly) convinced by the Pension forum to sacrifice the bonus in to my pension and to pay off the CC another way. All good up until Barclay Card declined me despite being…

Credit card scam with same IP address
I fell for a scam on IG last week and foolishly gave my credit card details. They took £7.87 and a non sterling transaction fee of 22p.
