Zopa
Twice I have tried to transfer my Zopa credit card balance to Barclays and Halifax and was told Zopa won't allow me to do so, the chat to an agent is very unhelpful and vague apart from stating that the banks are part of their NewDay providers that they dont allow transfers to be made to, please could you advise me as this…

Capital One - paid on time but they say I missed a payment
My Capital One payment was due on 5 January (as per the bill which says payment is due on 5 January). I paid on 5 January through the app using a debit card.

Downgrading Barclays Avios Plus before choosing reward
I’ve reached the reward bonus (BA upgrade voucher or 7500 Avios) on the Barclays Avios Plus Mastercard. The £20 month fee is quite steep so I’m keen to downgrade to the Barclaycard Avios (free Mastercard) but haven’t yet chosen my reward as i don’t know whether I’ll accrue enough Avios in 2 years to really make the upgrade…

Can I transfer the balance of a closed account?
I'm currently repaying the balance on a barclay card credit card which was closed last year (due to persistent debt or whatever they call it) Because of the interest I'm barely making a dent into what I have left to pay (paying as much as I can afford each month). I've since acquired a 0% balance transfer card with just…

New Day cards
I got an Aqua card a couple of years ago. It had £600 as a starting limit which remained the same until August 2023 when it was put up to £1100 and then again the other day to £1850. About a year ago, I also applied and got a Marbles card. Again, it has a credit limit of £600 and was then increased to £1350 the other day.…

s75 CCA and Air tickets
So MSE says that you don't get s75 protection for purchases from a travel agent because using an agent breaks the 'direct link' between a purchaser and the supplier. So you have to rely on a chargeback. That's not great. If I book a £200 air ticket and the airline goes bust and it costs me £400 to buy a replacement ticket,…

Credit eligibility and scoring
Hi, I recently applied for a credit card and although I was accepted I was given a very low limit. So low it did not make it worth sticking with the card as I solely applied for the Sign-up Bonus to earn Avios. I am in an odd situation in that, in recent months, as a result of uncertainty in the economy, I decided to sell…

Pitfalls using 0% Credit as a loan when you have the funds
We are about to embark on a DIY project and have £70k in cash funds. I'm currently getting almost 5% return on that cash. So I though for a few of the major purchases like the kitchen (12k) and Tiles (3k) where I am purchasing those items from a business that I could use a 0% 12-20 month credit card and then use the funds…

HSBC have "lost" my credit card repayment
Hi I made my first repayment back on my HSBC Visa credit card. As I don't bank with them I verified the whole repayment process and was given a HSBC account and sort code (I should add a legitimate account and not a scam) into which repayments were to be made. Ive just received a reminder to make the minimum repayment…

Natwest Credit Cards
Last week Martin recommended the Natwest balance transfer cards and as a Natwest customer they were of interest, and I thus tried to apply as the soft search gave me prior approval. However the problem came when I actually applied for real. They use a system provided by a company called Hooyu to check your ID (even for…
