Re: WARNING!!! Check if your cards APR's being hiked. You've a right to REJECT it.
Had the same. Used template from MSE site to reject the rate hike. Just got a reply saying '....can't divulge reasons, down to Cap 1's lending policy, confidential etc. etc.' AND gave no reply to any decision. Guess this is just their way of ignoring me! Hoping I will be impressed by their waffle and back off, therefore charging me new rate next month.
War it is!
