Treats people struggling with debt appallingly

1
Back in 2014 I had serious problems with debt and had the misfortune to owe Nationwide Credit Card money. I took advice from CCCS and made token payments. The advisors were the most unpleasant people I’ve ever dealt with. One said that my credit card debt was a priority debt!! They were all sarcastic and did not care about my situation. Eventually I entered an IVA and they refused to ever agree with the offer of repayment. Luckily they were not the majority creditor so they had to go along with the offer. Eventually I was able to clear the IVA early but my experience with Nationwide was so awful I would advise anyone to steer clear, they made my life more difficult than necessary at a terrible time.

Straightforward credit card

4
A basic credit card with a monthly email prompting me to download and check my statements. Very easy to use. Sadly, cashback was removed a while ago, but I like the fact Nationwide is owned by its members and operates with ethics in mind so I can live without the perk. Reviewed on: 5th April 2023

A human instead of a credit score.

5
I got my credit card with a high credit limit despite a fairly poor credit score and I was able to balance transfer a more expensive card and I now pay a really good APR and hope to end my debt much sooner as a result. So nice to be treated like a human being instead of a credit score. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023
