Ignore this, I've now spoken to customer services.

There's a letter coming out stating that they are changing the way they calculate their interest, from a standard SVR to an SVR + 0.5% bank base rate from 26th February 2015.

If you have a 0% deal this remains in place and the interest rate changes will only affect you once your 0% deal ends and you go onto the SVR (or move to the next card!)

    I had one today also. Went straight into the shredder.

    I still have a while left on my interest free period and dont plan on having a balance.
