CC v "repayment account"
Mule
Posts: 74 Forumite
Hi
Just had a call from one of my CC companies offering me a repayment account. Not heard of this before - has anyone else? I am nearing my limit (£6000) on my CC and paying 15.9% purchases and 21% cash advance (have transferred as much as I can onto two low LOB cards and can only make min payments each month i.e. it's a struggle). The account will work as follows:
Current balance of £5700 transferred to repayment account
Current card reduced to limit of £100 (from £6000) - would cut this up anyway.
New interest rate of 11%
Have to make a minimum payment every month by s/o but can overpay at any time.
Does anyone else have experience of this type of arrangement? It sounds like a good idea to me. I'm pleasantly surprised they phoned up to offer it - after all it's less interest in their pockets each month.
