Review of the Post Office, Credit Card:

Balance Transfer Card

Very disappointing. Applied for and received balance transfer card with initial credit card limit in excess of £2500. HOWEVER , on receipt of the card my transfer limit was set at only £200 - no good to man nor beast! Reviewed on: 29th December 2016

Repayments take forever

I have a post office credit card, when I make repayments it takes an absolute age to show in my available balance... I also have a Zable credit card, when I make a repayment it is immediate, no messing ....... Why on earth can't the post office due this .... it's unacceptable, where does the money go for 4-5 days ...space ! Reviewed on: 23rd November 2023

Scammers

Reference: 9975072721257435 Received an email on my Clear Score credit file account saying I have pre-approved offers and to apply with confidence. Applied for a Post Office credit card and was told card will arrive 'soon' with pin number. Got the card and pin and tried to activate it using their phone line. Taken to fraud department - man with heavy indian accent asking me if the application was genuine. Found out Post Office C Card is supplied by Capital One. I already have a Ocean Credit Card (Also via Capital One) where my limit was increased from £750 to £1750 and I have been using it in the SAME month I applied with Post Office C Card. Got an email today from Darren Carlile Head of Customer Operations saying after a review the card has been cancelled. On my file there is a CIFAS recorded - heaven knows how and why. Entry date as 04/01/2023. There seems a link between the call centres Capital One uses in India and scams perpetrated by call handlers. Applying for this 'mickey mouse' Post Office card has messed up my credit file and I am totally innocent. Before this I was doing just fine. Be aware everyone. STAY AWAY from Post Office credit card applications. Scammers in India will hijack you. Reviewed on: 9th January 2023

FRAUD WARNING SCAMMING CUSTOMERS

just signed up for card and new mobile number and few days after received calls from indian scam call center saying my name and address trying to extract credit card and bank details . on 3 occassions from 2 indian women and 1 indian man seperate calls . i reported today to capital one , whos indian call center team was just like ow no no no . we will take it as feedback when staff members are taking information names addresses and phone numbers from new applications department and passing them to their scam call center mates . reported to ICO and action fraud . AVOID not even used card yet had a few days now cancelling card . avoid like the plague anything associated with capital one / postoffice and their indian contact centers Reviewed on: 8th October 2022

Impossible to contact

I needed to change some personal details and tried to get online. The new PO credy card says Java on it, but all the websites to took me to Capital One. I tried four different numbers, but they either all said the Customer lines were now closed, or else the line wnt dead. 50 minutes wasted just to get totally frustrated. Reviewed on: 8th October 2022

Fairly Productive

Credit facilities provided by Post Office are simply not beneficial as it always the barest minimum limit you get however the services are simply straight forward. Reviewed on: 8th July 2022
