Review of the Post Office, Credit Card:

Balance Transfer Card

1
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

Not up to date enough. Confusing.

2
Got accepted for a 0% 200 limit. Didn't advise me it's a £3 charge for cash withdrawals. Balances don't update for 2 days causing confusion. Available does not reflect spent amounts. So confusing. Reviewed on: 14th November 2021

Easy to join and great customer communication

5
Joining was a surprisingly smooth process, they offer a lot of financial advice and send you interesting content. They upped my limit within a few months of me using the service in a responsible manner. I had two credit cards with two other credit companies prior to having the Post Office Credit Card and I never got any communication from them nor did I get a higher credit limit, only messages I would receive were text messages to remind me of when payments were due so I simply cancelled those services. Post Office - team are personable and it feels like they like to engage and really care about your customers. Reviewed on: 15th June 2021

Mis lead with 0% Interest on purchases

1
I took out a Post office credit advertised as 0% interest on purchases, However the card is operated by Capita One, I foolishly didn't check the first couple of statements closely but I was charged interest! Paid the thing off immediately and complained , Capital One say I was never offered 0% on purchases , however that is the only reason I took the card out, BUNCH OFF RIP OFF CROOKS!! Reviewed on: 31st January 2021

Interest Free OFFer : Rip OFF!!

1
Beware! I was offered 0% on purchases from Post office Credits card Last August. Took the card out and started using in September. I foolishly didn't check the online statements until today (January) as monthly direct debit had been going out with minimum payment, Its through Capital One and they have been charging interest on purchases! Apparently Post office OFFRERED the 0% on purchases , but it didn't go through on the card, What A total Rip off. Just cleared the account in Full, but an unneccesry 3 months of interest n there. Check statements every month . Will never trust Capital one or Post Office ever again, The misleading offer has tucked me up good and proper! Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

Downhill for last 2 years

1
Never had an issue till last 2 years. Perhaps because I got rid of the DD, as the amount on card was low. Pay on due date by app, they charge u late fee as does not hit their account till next (point of due date!!!). Try calling on hold for an hour, gave up. Like this several times. Cant contact by email as many companies FAQ or call and never get through. Tried resetting direct debit again via app, hot notification they were going to set it up may take a month, each month for 6 I have waited to see if payment taken, ended up late paying as they have never set up, cant call. As my over payment each month of 100 was clearing 20 debt due to interest and charges, got a great loan and cleared it 1/9. They changed to Jaja, never got another statement and then a letter yesterday stating in arrears and a new charge!!!!! Theybhad charged interest after clearing account, not sent me a satstement so I would know i still had to pay something, then charge a late fee and added interest again afterwards. I stayed on phone this time, got through after an hour, and spoke to an inarmoured woman who cancelled the charge and extra interest as no statement. I paid the little interest and closed account. Never ever again. Half my debt was their late charges Reviewed on: 7th November 2020
