  • if i spend money on my card

    then have the same amount paid back from the source i spent it at, does it count as a payment on a card, as in i've made the payment for the month or whatever (lets say its over the minimum)

    or will i still need to pay what i need to pay?

    You mean a refund? That's basically a "credit" transaction, so, yes it will pay off the balance you had prior to the refund.
  • Hello everyone, I'm slowly rebuilding my credit.

    I have an Aqua card starting balance £1000. Sent me a letter 1st to call them before releasing a card.

    Capital one, starting balance £200 (took a month to comes)

    Had them for about 4 months now, but no credit increases.

    Vanquis have not got back to me from 3 months ago!

    Halifax have given me a £2000 overdraft, as my wages have been paid in for over a year.
