Halifax lowers credit limit by mistake

FYI, I have just been on the phone with Halifax concerning a declined transaction, and I was told that my credit limit had been lowered by mistake on May 3rd, and that there were many customers in the same situation. If you have a Halifax CC, you might want to check your current credit limit.

Regards, Cyclonico.

    Have they put your credit limit back to what is was?

    Fortunatley yes, right away. I'd have blown a gasket otherwise.

    Hmm I better check mine again later. Was sure it all looked normal though earlier.
