Re: Credit card
Well it may be as we wanted to change ours but when we applied they insist to complete the process we send driving licences and other identity to them through the post. Not going to happen so if that is how companies now carry on we will I guess eventually be doing without.Re: Credit card
I have a debit card, but WILL NOThave a credit card in any circumstances - its all too easy to run up debts on a credit card and be unable to clear it within the specified time. At which point the excessive interest rates that are charged on credit cards start to mount. I will NOT pay interest, the money is better in my pocket than theirs.Re: Credit card
Credit cards are ok if used properly and not for the creditRe: Credit card
Same here Meg. I get about 2% back from each purchase and pay it up every month so no interest charges. A few years ago I put about £400 deposit on a holiday using my credit card. The holiday company went bust and my credit card company gave all my deposit back to me.Re: Credit card
I've never had a credit card ! But when I first got married the the white goods were bought on the weekly from a store , not CC. I do know from what I've been told though is it can work to your advantage as it will stand you in good steed when it comes to a mortgage or rented property ad they look for any black marks against your name but if you are a good payer and pay on time this is in your favour ..Re: Credit card
I've had a credit card for years and have never had to pay any interest. If you are sensible and use it properly, you will never be in debt. I always settle whatever is on my credit card every month. If you buy goods or services on your credit card, you have extra protection if things go wrong compared with paying by cash or cheque.Re: Credit card
