in Credit cards
Has anyone had their credit card limit reduced making their balance then over the new limit? Can credit cards do this? i know an overdraft is repayable on demand and wondered if credit cards are the same.
Virgin reduce our limit quite a bit, leaving us just £100 spare, thankfully we were coming to the end of the 0% and had the money to clear the balance. But its got me concerned about the other credit cards we have.
