    morning all,

    cant believe this!! i have aqua card 250 limit had it since about may last year. i pay minimum by direct debit every month and then pay more manually. this month i decided leave it at minimum as i needed to save 700 to pay holiday. so direct debit due out on 2nd as usual. i have been plagued by aqua and i mean plagued yesterday 7 calls on my home phone 5 on mobile, they didnt take the direct debit out when they said they would so they are now constantly ringing to inform me i have not paid!!! 7.28!! i pointed out on the fourth when they rang it was direct debit they agreed it was but didnt know why it hadnt been requested, nice lady said its our error i will place a note on file and the dd will be taken shortly no need to worry. today letter arrives quite curt with 12 pound late fee, i am furious bl**dy hell i would hate to think i owed a fortune they would ring nonstop although they have anyway.

    so i am making them wait now, sending in a letter to tell them its thier responsibility to collect my payments not mine to remind them, the money is there waiting!! and i refute a late fee when infact they are the ones who have made the boob. i will also be answering the phone to then each and evry time they ring and leaving them on the other end to ensure it costs them loads all for a 7 pound payment THEY forgot to take!!! card will then be cancelled and closed. sooooo mad!!!

    When you log-in to halifax online and see this message; does it mean you'll get it, like pre-approved? Or is it just a sales ploy with no set outcome?

    Cheers :confused:

    My parents always get offered this. They have applied once and declined. :mad:
