    It doen't exactly explain "hidden". She knew when to pay but decided to pay late. What was she expecting?
    I think this is a fabrication to be honest, if she was in a 0% deal from Virgin then the minimum payment would not have been £6.27 or £160, it would have been £5. Even with a 2% uncapped BT fee it would have been £79. If she had transferred the maximum 98% of her limit she still had £25 headroom to accomodate a late payment fee. If you know anything about credit cards it simply does not stack up. Yet another example of sloppy journalism if you ask me.

    I read it the other night and thought it was anti stoozing propaganda. Oh dear, look what can happen you naughty stoozers. :rotfl:
