Barclay card cheats

Frank1in

Something I read in the free paper London Metro ( money saver).

A spokesperson/ manager at Barclay card admitted that for those people who pay the card off in full and on time, they bring the payments forward occasionally to increase the late fines. This means that sometimes you will not get the full interest free period.
The 'get out' clause they have cited is that they do mention on the bill if your payment date has changed, but rely on customers to check!!


did any one else read this?

I think this is either your misunderstanding or journalist's misrepresentation. See Barclaycard - No Good For People Paying Their Balances In Full recent thread. Possibly late fines are indeed their main aim, but they never admitted this.

I've just checked my Barclaycard statements and I paid the last one on the 3rd February, the next statement due date is the 28th of February, I pay the min amount by DD and also make payments in between surely these dates cant be right.......or am I wrong.
