Problems with Natwest credit card

I applied for a Natwest credit card with 0% for 13 months on balance transfers. I received the card in June but it said that during the first 3 months there was a balance transfer fee of 2.5% or 3% fee (can't remember which percentage it is) so I decided to wait until after 3 months before doing a balance transfer.

I phoned today to transfer a balance and they have said that I have 7 months left on my 0% balance transfer rate but that there is still a 2.5% or 3% fee payable even though it says this is only payable during the first 3 months.

Anyone else had this trouble?

Thanks.

  • Sorry for the late answer, the balance transfer fee is payable on any balance transfer which the balance is interest free.
    NatWest did have a 3 months interest free on Purchases which is now 6 months.
    I have not worked for NatWest Bank since February 2009

    Thanks for the reply. It was only a temporary measure to transfer a balance for a couple of months so I ended up using my MBNA which doesn't have a fee but that only has 0% until April.
