The worst thing is that you have to pay them back ............ eventually. Can't think of anything else negative or confusing.
Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.
Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

I wish they would always include the expiry date of 0% deals on credit card statements. Some do but many don't0

I hate the fact most places charge more to take a credit card. Sometimes I want to put something on a credit card but the 2.5% surcharge some charge just have me reaching for my debit card instead.0

Agreed, Santander and MBNA do, TSB, Cap1, Halifax and Tesco do not. Shows what use the regulators actually are !Superscrooge wrote: »I wish they would always include the expiry date of 0% deals on credit card statements.

Knowing the 0% expiration isn't much help if you are still using the card as you lose the standard 1 month free interest because you didn't clear the balance in full. They calculate the interest from the date the purchase was made at their standard rate, even though the purchase was made before the 0%.
It would be helpful if they told you what to pay and when to avoid interest.0 -
It doesnt feel like real money or real spending which is how people get in trouble!
Also agree about the offer duration, I have started writing it on the front of the cards£0/£2017 extra income

There is nothing that's good, bad or even ugly about credit cards. Now.....the people that (mis)use them.....?I came into this world with nothing and I've got most of it left.0
