Anyone heard anything about this?

How does it work if you have no balance on your card or have only spent say £10 on there. Do they then put you £15 in credit?

Is it going to happen and when.

    I think you mean they will be charging you a minimum monthly payment of £25,previously it was quite low about £5 a month.
    sorry don't know when it is to be implemented.

    Make sure you check this...most credit card companies are reducing their minimum payment not increasing it.

    Im 99% sure that if you spend under the £25.00 it will only take your balance.

    With one of my cards it says minimum payment of £5.00 and before I have had less than that and it has only taken that.

    ...I will thank you if youve been helpful, please do the same! :j

    It will be as wayoflife says - it just means that your minimum payment is the lower of your account balance and £25, instead of the lower of your account balance and £5.
