    If there is no statement balance then the minimum payment will be £0.00. If that's the case then they wont take anything.


    Obviously, if you set it up manually to take say £25 a month then you will need to cancel it.

    Thankyou :)
  • Was your card 0%? if not, then there will probably be residual interest to pay. Keep an eye on your statement next month, if it comes up as £0.00, then yes you can cancel it.
    Credit 'Score' - Don't buy the credit 'score' that Experian, Equifax and Noddle want to sell you. It's an arbitrary number that means nothing when it comes to applying for credit.

    ALWAYS HAVE A DIRECT DEBIT SET UP FOR THE MINIMUM PAYMENT ON YOUR CREDIT CARDS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU PLAN TO LOGIN AND PAY EACH MONTH.
