Hi All
Please forgive me if this has been covered in previous threads but I have not seen an exact match covering my query.
I have been with Virgin MBNA since 2006 but I used to pay whole amount monthly. That changed around two years ago when I started paying them whatever I could afford each month. This is always well above their minimum payment requirement and I never missed a payment to date.
I get paid last friday of the month and this often means I could not meet their 3 day rule. They started hitting me with £12 late payment charges. They also destroyed my Credit Rating by adding Late Payment to my record each time. This means I could not transfer to another card. They got me trapped. I complained to them and they said "tough"; just less politely than that.
What course of action does the forum suggest I take? I am so furious with them (I pay one of the highest APR rates of any card) I am having dark thoughts like maxing it out and telling them where to go. Unwise I know. What shall I do?
Thank you for your advice in advance
