The card seems fine

The card seems fine, got it without a hitch, not sure about interest rates though, got charged interest in the first couple of months, did get it back, but cant seem to find out if I have interest free credit, which most cards have, should have checked 😳
Have just been intouch Michelle and there is no interest free credit on my account. Grateful for the clarification.
I will be closing this asap, £10 interest this month, 😔

Avoid at all costs

Avoid this sham of a company. Previous complaint finally dealt with then wanting money after 3 weeks of me having the card. Asked them to change the date as I couldn’t pay until pay day: told me this was done - paid 12x more than my payment should of been and received two emails saying I’ve missed and could be charged. Check again today and the date hasn’t moved, and their live chat refuse to help and accuse me of being rude. Stay away, it’s honesty not worth the hassle
