Barclaycard

Thousands of credit card customers face interest rate hikes, but you can reject them to escape the potentially crippling higher payments.

Barclaycard has apologised after many of its customers who took out a credit card offer that was supposed to net them £100 in February failed to pay out.

Lloyds TSB has still failed to clear a massive backlog of unpaid PPI compensation, leading to more anger from mis-selling victims.

Halifax has launched what is believed to be the first ever 'rate for risk' 0% deal. While long term credit cards APRs normally vary with successful applicants' credit scores, until now 0% deals were fixed for all. It's feared if more firms go this way, it could set a worrying precedent for borrowers.

Former Egg credit card customers have reported major problems after the switchover to Barclaycard.

Norwich and Peterborough Building Society (N&P) has this week been taken over by Yorkshire Building Society (YBS), which means big changes for many of its 420,000 customers.

The final stages of the sale of Egg were completed this week, meaning big changes for its 1.7 million customers.

More banks have admitted they are failing to hit the 28-day deadline between agreeing a payment protection insurance (PPI) compensation figure and paying it.

Egg Money cardholders will keep their 1% cashback when they are sent a replacement Barclaycard later this year.

Barclays reported a 33% drop in half-year profits to £2.6 billion after it took a £1 billion hit to cover compensation for customers who were mis-sold payment protection insurance.
