Overseas Spending
Sorry if I've got this on the wrong thread or something. I'm new to forums! Looking at credit cards which give free cash withdrawals abroad (eg Halifax Clarity). Appreciate the "free" is a bit of a stretch but as per MSE if you take cash out abroad then pay it back the same day using on-line banking, the interest barely…

Beware Lloyds Bank and S75
I hired a barrister online under the Direct Access scheme to represent me in a civil dispute over double glazing. I had 14 day cancellation rights and, when I paid, I saw from the online terms that I was entitled to a pro rata refund. Three days before the trial, as it was obvious that the barrister still hadn't read the…

Credit card standing order
Hi, My wife and I recently got a joint Sainsbury's 0% Credit card (she is the main named card holder), booked a holiday and I set up a token gesture standing order to help pay off the balance.

Is it worth the hassle?
Is it worth the hassle? I might be wrong but say you borrow 10k from cards, as the interest rates are so low you might make 2% or so. So for all the work you may only make £200 which is just over a days work? I don't get it.

New Balance Transfer Card accepted but low Credit Limit
Hi, I applied for a new credit card with 0% interest on Balance Transfers. It was successful but they only gave me a 2.5k credit limit when i needed to transfer 15k. They are going to send me the paper work out to sign. If I cancel it now will it look bad on my credit file? Should I use it just for the 2.5k? Thanks

Business Finance
Good evening all. I am hoping to buy an existing business but have come up against resistance from the main big banks when I have enquired for a business loan. I have also tried peer to peer lenders, but they only seem keen to load to existing companies wishing to expand and invest. The asking price of the business is 75K…

To begin the Stooze
I've decided I'm going to jump on this bandwagon. I've got a lot of 3% acc's, and can open some regular savers as well. At present the only card I found on the site offering free BT was Halifax. I would think with my credit score I'll be accepted at most places, (although I did just have a SO bounce, in the opening of 4…
