MBNA American Express Balance transfers

Hi everyone,

I am trying to transfer a balance on MBNA American Express card to Halifax Clarity Credit Card. Halifax have tried to transfer the money but the MBNA card comes up as unknown!

I hae spoken to MBNA and they say they do not have a problem, Halifax noted that the MBNA card only has 15 digits whereas credit cards usually have 16 digits. These are the only explanations I have been given.

I originally took out the MBNA as a 0% balance tranfer it is now coming to an end and if I will now incurr an interest rate of 22%.

Can anyone help with this problem please.

Bunjie

    American Express cards do only have 15 digits. The problem is at Halifax's end - I suggest you complain to them.
