Egg...

Has anyone else received what I have today - apparantly Egg like to treat their customers as indviduals and therefore after a review of my credit card and the way I manage my account (min payments but haven't used card for approx.10mths) they are very helpfully going to raise my APR from....wait for it 15.9% to 21.9% - talk about kick a girl when she's down - no wonder people say money goes to money...when you have none, people want to take even more of it !! - Sorry, just had to get that off my chest.

Least they told you, I rang Abbey (my cc) the other day to be told they had increased my APR from 17.9% to 24%! :mad: They said they sent me a letter (yeah right!) but I never recieved it.
Wouldnt have noticed but they've changed my card to one of those 'earn points as you spend' cards, and I rang them to confirm a few things. Luckily they said they would reduce it back down to 17.9% :cool:

I had one from egg saying they were reducing APR on purchases to 9.9, but raising it for cash advanced. 21.9 seems very very high...

They reduced mine from 15.9% to 5.9% as we hold a mortgage there.
Had been just about to transfer it to a loan at 6.9%

Apparently lots of people have had the message you had - there is a post on credit card board.

At least they let you know. OH' s cahoot loan has gone from 11.9 to 12.9 to 13.9 in last to months. Looked yesterday and it is 14.9!! He took it out at 8.9 We are moving it...fast!
