in Credit cards
Hi, I have a cashplus Mastercard that I have the creditbuilder plan on to help my credit score, I am approx 7 months into this. They have offered me an interest free £100 overdraft facility on the card, for a 1 of setup fee of £20 (for 1 year usage) and a charge of 50p per day for the time you are overdrawn, so potentially £10 a month. Now I have no overdraft facility with my bank, Barclays, and have managed just fine without it, but some months it can get a bit tight towards payday so, the option of that buffer is quite attractive. Am I missing any hidden charges here or does it all seem ok?
CC limits £26000
Long term CC debt £0
Total low rate loan debt £3000
Almost debt free feeling, priceless.
Ex money nightmare, learnt from my mistakes and never going back there again, in control of my finances for the first time in my adult life and it feels amazing.

Bettering your credit score is on thing - paying through the nose and being ripped off is another.
Tell them to shove it!0 -
Why would it cost them twenty quid to press a button to set up a very small overdraft? Tell them to get lost.0

it may help show you have credit though, is expensive thoughDon't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0
