in Credit cards
Hi,
This is my first post! My wife and I recently recieved letters from Barclaycard stating they had increased our credit limits without us asking for an increase.
My question is, is this legal for them to do this when we didn't want an increase? if its not legal, how do we go about challenging them?
Please help many Thanks

They would have said on the letter that if you don't want the limit increase, phone them up and get it put back down.Martin Lewis is always giving us advice on how to force companies to do things.
How about giving us advice on how to remove ourselves from any part of MoneySupermarket.com
I hereby withdraw any permission Martin might have implied he gave MoneySupermarket.com to use any of my data. Further more, I do not wish ANY data about me, or any of my posts etc to be held on any computer system held by MoneySupermarket.com or any business it has any commercial interests in.0 -
Your T&Cs will almost certainly say that they can review your credit limit from time to time.
If you don't want the increase then phone them up and ask them to put it back down again.0
