End date for 0% on MBNA cards

I have a Virgin card and my husband has an MBNA Platinum card. The end dates for 0% balances orginally showed as 24/05/05 and 03/06/05 on the online account maintenance screen. Now they are showing as 01/05/05 and 01/06/05.

Has anyone else noticed this? ???

    Mines gone from 25th July 05 to 1st July 05

    I think they must have made an error right at the beginning as the whole interest rate period is STILL greater than 9 months, the 25th of July made it more than 10 months.

    Would have thought they would have had to notify you of such changes !??! !?   Not read t's&c's - can anyone confirm this !?

    Mine changed too... :(

    The devils ! Didn't charge me £35 for the balance transfer fee but the loss of 24 days equates to £33.43 !

    Oh well, thats life :)

    Could have painted the town red with the cash ;)

    Lol...! and <slap!> for Pale-Rider!

    Okay.....I'll ask again in a fashion that makes more sense!

    Can anyone confirm whether MBNA can shift the date like that without notifying the customer,....is it permitted in the terms and conditions !?

    Dont have mine to hand so cant check myself - thanks.

  • Thanks for pointing this out.

    Likewise, my Virgin card has just had 3 weeks chopped off its 0% period too.
    I'm sorry but I'm not Mike!
