For six months of 2011 I paid the same amount on the same day of the month and didn't use my credit card. The interest charge reduced by roughly the same amount each month except for one rogue month when the interest charge increased by about 40%. And then it returned to normal. I telephoned to complain, was told that the error was due to changing to a new system and was refunded a fiver. The same happened this year but when I phoned I got a really stroppy customer service representative who insisted that the difference was due to the number of days in the month (February was not involved, by the way). So I wrote a formal complaint asking for specific details of the interest charges. Three weeks later I got an acknowledgment, though not a response, and three weeks after that I got an apology for failing to respond and a goodwill payment of £25. The phrase "our final response" was included along with details of how to contact the ombudsman. So that's it - the matter is closed. I can't contact the ombudsman asking for compensation because I've already been compensated more than reasonably, especially for the second occasion. But I do wonder if it's a regular occurrence across the industry. Interest charged on the credit card daily balance is almost impossible to check. Has this happened to anyone else? It's Coop Visa in my case, by the way. Best wishes, Neil

remember when the banking crises first hit and that first year regarding bankers pay and bonuses...'we have to give them this money otherwise they will go elsewhere' looking at the world a few years down the line and I am beginning to wonder about 'where could they go?' greece? spain? italy? maybe germany..but they have probably got enough of their own anyway..i am looking at the 'unbiased' reporting from the bbc about spain this morning and the figures are staggering 100billion euros for companies that have gambled other peoples money and lost it due to greed..but of course they are 'too big to fail' how many other company's in trouble would any government bail out? i suspect it would be a resounding zero..their hypocrisy knows no bounds...perhaps we should let them all fail.?..our government nor the previous administration have absolutely no idea how to extricate the country from this predicament except to throw more money at the financial sector..... a sticking plaster in the short term only....we have a chancellor whose only qualifications are in bloody history...he obviously didnt read it thoroughly otherwise he would have learnt from it....his grasp of economics is about as bad as mine, he assumes that cuts to the public purse are the answer to this problem, and then looks on helplessly blaming the eu for the lack of growth in this country...they have managed to annoy just about every sector of public service, police, armed services, teachers, doctors, you name it they've done it....and unless the country turns around by the end of this ridiculous parliament then they and the libdems are heading for political suicide...
