  • How can a company just take £39.95 from you without you submitting some level of your details to them??
  • sorry but you must have given them details for them to take 39.99 if you didnt they have stolen from you and you should talk to your card provider

    Happens to me all the time- especially late at night something happens to my computer and it buys things from ebay. At the same time people sneak into my house and drink all my beer.

    Crikey Darren, your post leaves me bewildered.

    How did this company promise you anything if you have never had dealings with them?
    I think you are in for some more scams in the future.

    So, let me get this right...

    First, you start your rant saying about how this company promised you £1000 credit and then when you got your card you couldn't use it anywhere other than their catalogue.

    Next, you're claiming that you never even applied.

    You need to get your story straight.

    Sounds to me more like you applied - without bothering to read what it was you were applying for or what was involved in the application. It turned out to not be what you expected. Plus, you got charged a membership fee which was probably documented in the terms and conditions you didn't read.

    Because of all this, you are now "miffed" and instead of taking responsibility for your actions (or inactions!) you are looking for someone blame.

    Get over it and look on it as a lesson learnt and next time, don't blindly rush in and hand over your account details without understanding *why* you are handing them over.

    So after f**king up your credit worthiness everywhere else and maxing out your existing cards you saw an advert on Facebook and thought "That's the very fella for me....."

    You seriously thought that you were going to get a proper credit card with a £1,000 limit with no questions asked?
