Very Changed it's Interest Rate?

Hi,

I've just logged into my Very account. 'My APR' usually states it's 39.7%. Today it has changed to 19.9%. I haven't received a letter notifying me of any changes. This seems too good to be true! Just wondering if any other Very account holders have noticed this.

Liz.

    Hi,

    Yes, I've a big balance on mine, about £1,000. I was also late with a payment in January, so I very surprised to see the interest rate go down. Baffled! I still wont be spending another penny on it until I get it cleared!
