Credit Card Problems
 
I live in France but I have a British bank account. I have a credit card and the balance is £6,000. I pay £500 a month of the balance but the credit card company adds £122 back on for "interest on the cash balance" and "interest on the standard balance". Apparently I cannot take advantage of a no interest balance transfer from another credit card company as I do not have a UK address. Anyone got any ideas please?

I change the address for one of mine to my mums address and they went with it. I had to use it to buy my eurostar (grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr) tickets as I had to have a UK postcode to buy the tickets online with so it came in useful.
If you have a card you don't use, try this. Can't think of much else, sorry, but good luck.



More importantly, do the rest of us a favour and win on Saturday!

Not much chance of beating United at Old Trafford but i'm sure we'll give them a run for their money.
