Hi there,
I am in the middle of cancelling my credit card and MBNA has charged Euro30 to the account balance stating that this is due to regulations ?

Is this true and are these regulation Irish or U.K. ?

I find it hard to believe that I have to pay to cancel my card. I was already paying for the "privelige" to have one.

Irish credit card stamp duty:

If you are switching to another credit card then you can avoid paying this charge on the double in a single credit card SD tax year.

What were you already paying just to have one!?
 
I was paying the government levy each year for this CC. Already paid 2008 levy I believe and now I have to fork out another 30 euro to cancel my CC ?

Reason for cancelling : to high of interest rate...

Did you actually read the link that I posted? :confused:

Clear your balance each month billing period before interest charges apply and it renders the interest rate charged of academic interest.
 
Hi
You already paid your 2007/08 levy (paid in arrears).
The new charge is for 2008/09, and will carry forward to another credit card if you get another one as per ClubMan.
The reason you are paying the 2008/09 charge now is because you have used the card for part of the 2008/09 period.
