Credit Card Tarting
Thanks Martin for alerting me to this! My son left me deeply in debt on cards with his endless demands for cash (including a £25k bank loan that I took out for him that he never repaid but I will clear in 5 months time). The only way I could give him money was drawing cash on credit cards until they were maxed out - I was…

Stoozing on personal loans
Anyone tried this? I can get £15k at 2.8% and invest it at 6.5%, thus making 3.7% net interest. Compound that over two years and you've made over £1k interest. Anyone see the downside I've missed? It won't let me post links even to MSE, otherwise I would source the above. PS My annualised return on the above investment…

Credit card -v- savings
Hi there I'm.new so please don't judge? We currently have a 0% credit card purchases/balance transfer and have a balance without any interest acruing, my question is would you pay balance off with the small savings you have or just continue paying card monthly- We do pay more than minimum. Bearing I mind no interest…

Virgin Pre-approved Isn't pre-approved
Filled out a CC application yesterday for Virgin Money Balance Transfer card. I went thru Credit Club and Virgin Moneys website to see if I was pre-approved (100%) for the card and I was. All I needed to was apply. Once the application was complete there was no instant decision. The application was sent to the underwriters…

Post office credit card, date of promotional end
I vaguely remember my promotional rate was 28months 0% purchases for slow stooze. Got the car around April 2018. Can't find the 0% end date anywhere on the statements. Any idea if it is in the statement at all?
Unauthorised charge made me go over the limit by £1
Hi I donated £50 to a charity from my stoozing card. The charity is locally run in my area, and I knew they were a bit unprofessional, didn't realise how amatuerish they'd be. They charged my card 3 times. So took a total of £150. They've taken me over the limit, and now I am facing loss of my 0% rate and a £12 fee. I am…
Santander
Anyone else had a letter from Santander changing CC t's and C's to say if you consistently only make the minimum repayment they may up the repayment they ask for or even suspend your account? Sounds bad news for stoozing.
does Square invalidate credit card protection ?
