    I've just rang Tesco CC and Barclaycard CC, both pointless calls

    Tesco just said no straight away.

    Barclaycard informed me that my APR had actually gone up in May to 21.9%, when I asked why the guy couldn't tell me - it is the Barclaycard system?
    I asked could it be reduced again and he said no, that they review the account regularly but would never go down only up!!
    When I asked him what I could do to avoid it going up again - ie what criteria the system uses, he couldn't tell me.
    But then he said ring back in a couple of months and they might be able to do something then!!!

    I hate talking to call centres where it is too difficult to get your point across.

    But on the plus side my Tesco CC APR is only 18.3% and I thought it was 20%!

    I'm in a thinking positive frame of mind now.

  • All cards are grrr why not overpay some of the highe apr while the other is lower it will help make the minimum payment take a bigge chunk off. Mind you how much Is the hsbc card better take advantage of there intrest drop :-) x
