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…

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.

Debit Card Overdraft
Hi, Probably a daft question. But we are with Nationwide and they are changing over draft fees. This will potentially jump from £15.50 a month to over £75 per month in overdraft charges.

Should I transfer the balance again?
Hi there, Some advice needed. I originally had one credit card and when I didn't pay the balance off in time for the 0% interest to end I transferred it over to another 0% credit card. I then did this a second time. So now I have three credit cards, two with £0 (or a very low) balance and one with around £3,500. If I am…
