I do hope that the OP's degree was not law.

One of mine was law! You'd be amazed at how law students can be completely logical in analysing a contrived, complicated case study but when something affects them personally, all their legal training flies out of the window.

Hi all

Am looking for some advice, support or encouragement to see if am on right lines...

When I first started University back in 2003 I was given a credit card as a 'benefit' of my student account. I remember being very reluctant to take it and not really knowing what it was. But the 'seller' was very pushy and insisted it was a part of the student account and was an essential extra and that I only needed to pay the minimum. I signed the paperwork.

Since then I have had a credit card. And month after month I added things onto credit card and every few months they would increase my credit limit without asking. This started a spiral credit cards which I cannot blame on the original seller however that initial credit card was definitely the start of something.


Is this like being mis-sold? Can I complain to the original bank I was with? Anybody else have any similar issues????


Thanks!!!

This has to be a joke!

These days...quite possibly.

I suggest you make a settlement offer to him sharpish before we see you in front of either Judges Rinder or Judy.
