    I can tell you it was done deliberately. Basically it was to shift £150 to a Leeds BS lob from Virgin after they changed the rate to 38%. Leeds minimum BT was £250, hence £100 credit on the Virgin card, which was then closed and money returned

    Thanks for posting. The only cases I could recall reading on this board, where there was a successful outcome (and none were recent), involved cards issued by MBNA, like your wife's Virgin.

    Fingers crossed the Op's £1500 surplus is on an MBNA card then. MBNA has a reported 7 million customers in the UK, so you never know.
    People who don't know their rights, don't actually have those rights.
