    If you get your money back for the transfer ...Ha ha ...no chance.
    These guys now have your money. How do you think they manage to make billions in profit each year ?
    If you get your money back ...well I will eat my hat or worse renew my Mint card !

    Give it a rest you're getting really boring now; from a guy who got charged because he forgot to pay a little bill!!

    What absolute drivel. May i respectfully suggest that comments like this are not helpful for people who are often distressed by the situation they find themselves in.

    BTW most firms are not profiting from their credit card divisions. Barclaycard profits were down 50% year on year when results were announced earlier this year and all other firms are taking a loss through bad debt provision. Banks make their "billions in profit" mainly from their institutional/investment banking divisions.

    Maybe they should increase thier fees or even better put some more small print in the terms and conditions and catch out a few more victims.
    I would not shed any tears for the Banks credit card divisions profit margin ...I would imagine they are "Mint"ed.
    :D

    Spoke to MINT today. They said they'll send a cheque out to me for the credit balance owed. See how it goes.
