Newbie Credit Card Question

If I get a credit card and pay it off in full every month, I won't have fees, is that right? (if I don't take money from ATM, currency advance etc...)

Are there Credit Cards that charge a fee even if you pay off in full every month that I should look out for - how can I tell?

    Normally, yes.

    Two kinds - one with an annual fee (which will be obvious) and the very few which charge interest on balances even when cleared in full - this will be in the summary box.

    LTSB Advance credit card was in the latter category, I assume the LLoyds Bank and TSB ones still are.
