Review of the Post Office, Credit Card:

Awful - just awful.

I've had a PO credit card for some years and it has never been over limit. But for a while now - my balance has been INCREASING despite making the regular (albeit minimum payment) monthly payments. So not one single penny of my monthly payments now are going towards reducing the balance. Yes - had letters to ask me to increase my monthly payments - but no warnings to say that interest will be increased if I don't. So today - I paid the card off and issued a complaint. My advice - DON'T EVER use this card. It is a total rip-off - and if you read this Post Office - you ought to be ashamed of your squeeze on ordinary folk to force them to pay more than the minimum payment every month. How can you justify increasing the balance owed every month when I am making regular monthly payments ?? This 'unsustainable borrowing' that you refer to - is utter nonsense. I haven't used the credit card for almost a year so I have spent NOTHING on it. But I will never again touch a Post Office credit card and neither will any of my family or friends. Account closed and lesson learned. Reviewed on: 7th January 2019

As a basic credit card it's fine, I am trying to re build my credit score and got accepted with a very low limit. Use this and pay it back on time and it's seems fine. No perks or rewards obviously, so as a starter/rebuilding credit card its a good option. Reviewed on: 27th April 2024

Prior to credit card arrival , I tried contacting customer service , what a waste of time !!! No one answers the phone and cuts you off . You never speak to anyone , The post Office and Capital One have the same problem, based on this I wouldn’t recommend to anyone . Reviewed on: 6th April 2024

scammed for £30

Applied for 12 month interest free card.. than got charged interest.. so basiacally got scammed for £30 before I closed the account! Reviewed on: 1st April 2024

Random request for id

After having the post office credit card for 8 months and using it regularly I received a letter saying that I needed to send the proof of my id BY POST within 60 days otherwise they would cancel my card. 3 days after receiving this letter my card was blocked and I was unable to access the funds, 18 days before Christmas. I tried reasoning with customer service but after a few seconds of silence on their end they hung up the phone!! I did not swear or raise my voice. I shall be paying off my balance now and closing my account, appalling service and demands. Reviewed on: 7th December 2023

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
