A great cedit card company which values your business and rewards you with credit limit increase once you keep your account in good standing. I am having a good time with them.

Totally pointless

Got the card to transfer an interest free balance for 6 months, but as there is no functionality within the app, to do this you have to call in. However you end up speaking with an overseas call centre where the line is so bad & the accents so strong that neither of us understood what the other wanted/ was saying & I had zero confidence that any transfer being credited to my 118 card would actually be debited correctly from my other cards, & so not worth the risk to proceed.

Absolutely appalling treatment of a customer who was actively trying to manage their debt

I am absolutely disgusted with how 118 118 Money has handled my account.

I took out more credit than I should have due to impulsivity associated with my ADHD. I made 118 118 Money aware of my circumstances and, rather than ignoring the debt, I entered into a payment arrangement with them to get the account under control.

During that arrangement, they issued a default notice. Despite being in financial difficulty, I found the money to pay what they required because I was determined to keep the account on track. I then continued with the payment arrangement as agreed.

There was subsequently an issue where both my normal monthly payment and a payment-plan payment were taken. To be fair, 118 118 Money did rectify this and correct the duplicate payment. I have no issue with that particular matter.

The payment arrangement subsequently ended and I returned to my normal contractual monthly payments, which I continued making without missing a payment.

Then comes the latest issue.

118 118 Money claim they sent me another notice by post at the beginning of July, giving me until 31 July to make a payment. I have never received this letter. As of 18 August, it had still not arrived.

The address they have on file is my parents’ address, which I regularly visit. They only receive post around twice a week and have confirmed that this letter has not arrived.

Despite this, 118 118 Money proceeded to terminate my agreement and register a default.

The first communication I actually received was the termination email. As soon as I received it, I called them and offered to make the payment that same day — exactly as I had done previously when I was actually made aware of a default notice.

I was told they could do nothing.

So despite engaging with the lender, entering into and completing a payment arrangement, returning to my normal contractual payments and not missing those payments, I have now been given a default because of a letter I genuinely never received.

The consequences of this are potentially enormous. A default can remain on a credit file for six years, and I had literally just reached the point where my previous default had dropped off.

I have made 118 118 Money fully aware of my circumstances and the difficulties I have experienced. Instead of feeling like they have helped me manage my financial situation, I feel that their handling of this has made my situation considerably worse and caused significant distress.

I find the way they have handled this particularly unacceptable given that they were aware of my ADHD and the difficulties I had experienced with impulsive borrowing. I wasn’t refusing to pay. I wasn’t ignoring them. I was actively trying to manage the debt and had been making the payments I had agreed to make.

The moment I actually became aware there was a problem, I offered to pay.

They still defaulted me.

I have now made a formal complaint and will be taking this as far as I possibly can, including escalating the matter externally if necessary. I am asking 118 118 Money to explain how they believe this has been handled fairly and what they can do to put it right.

I would strongly urge anyone experiencing financial difficulties or vulnerability to think very carefully before dealing with this company. My experience has been extremely distressing and I feel completely let down by how they have treated me.

Hi Richard,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

We're sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate how frustrating it must have been to receive conflicting information regarding your balance transfer request.

While we do offer balance transfers, there are some credit card providers that we are unable to transfer balances from due to operational restrictions. Unfortunately, this means that not all balance transfer requests can be completed.

We're sorry if this wasn't explained clearly during your initial contact with us. We value your feedback and will use it to help improve the information we provide to customers.

If you would like us to review your experience further, please get in touch by calling 02920 548 118 or chatting with us through the live chat option of the mobile app, and we'll be happy to look into it.

Kind regards, RE.

Booked a flight within my credit limit…

Booked a flight within my credit limit and they blocked my card. I understand security is needed but trying to get it unblocked and working again is a lot of hassle. 6 phones calls 3 chats and still no where even after confirming I made the transaction and nothing is wrong with it.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the difficulties you've experienced while trying to get your card working again.

We understand how frustrating it can be when a transaction is blocked, particularly after you've already confirmed that the payment was genuine. We would like to look into this further for you and have requested some additional information so that we can carry out a full review of what has happened.

Once we receive the requested details, we'll investigate the issue and work to understand why the block remained in place despite the verification steps you completed.

Kind regards, RE.
