    How did you apply for the credit card.

    You don't have to have a 'signed' agreement these days.

    So, yes, of course its a debt you have to pay.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
  • i`m not clear on this old/new transactions? you pay interest on the balance each month,so if you dont clear the balance at the end of the month you pay interest the following month
  • I'm not sure too.

    For most banks and credit card companies, interest is payable on all transcations, if the card is not paid in full every month by the due date and the free interest free period only applies for purchases.

    The only bank being the exception, I think, is Dankse Bank.

    In relation to the no signature, no it is still ENFORCABLE, as you could have 'e-signed' this application form, and a signature (real), is no longer required to enforce debt.
    Thank you all for helping me make my day by saving money!
  • Only need a signed original agreement if taken out pre April 2007.
