Lloyds Advance Credit Card

I have just discovered that my Lloyds Advance card went up in September by 3%!!!!! It was 11.9% previously. Lloyds are still advertising the card on their website at 11.9%. Has this happened to anyone else?

Comments

  • Unfortunately, they advertise the rate as 'variable' so they are free to raise it as they see fit.

  • Yes I do know this but wondered whether it had happened to anybody else. I shall be moving the balance to another card now. I have a perfect payment record with them so if they can't figure out the good payers from the bad then I shall take my good business elsewhere where I will be rewarded with much lower interest rates.
  • That's the best thing to do. If you're not happy, close the account and take your business elsewhere.

    Make sure you tell them why you're closing the account. There's a chance they might offer you an incentive to stay.

  • My hubby got the letter yesterday, change of APR from December. So it ends our neverending 0% promotion ;-) I'm planning to pay off the card in full.
