Dealing with repeated card compromises
Hi folks. I have a Mastercard credit card. It has now been compromised three times in the space of 2, maybe 3 months. The card provider tell me that only Mastercard can provide the information as to the source of the compromise because they are the ones sending notifications. Every contact I have with Mastercard (including…

Reduce credit limit?
Bit of advice please. I've just been approved for a credit card, but the credit limit is way more than I'm ever likely to use. I've seen contradictory advice, one side suggesting I reduce it, while the other side suggests I keep it at the current level. What do you recommend?

Paying off part of card
Spent some money last month, let's say £10,000 on a credit card. A bill has been produced and a DD will take the amount from a specific bank account in about 7 days. If I "make a payment" to the card and pay off half, I guess the DD will only claim the remaining £5,000? It's an American Express credit card.

In app credit card balance transfer offer query
Hello My credit card company has a Balance transfer on my mobile app account under 'Your offers' So, under Transfer offers, it shows me a 0% on balance for a fee. It says I can go up to 90% of my limit. Does this mean I will definitely get those terms? Because the app gives me this offer? Thanks

Quick Utilisation Question
Probably a question that's been asked plenty. All things being equal (amount of credit available, debt, income etc), are lenders more likely to make decisions based on your overall credit utilisation rate or individual provider utilisation rates?
