Late credit card fees 'too high'
Eight major credit card companies have
been told by the Office of Fair Trading
(OFT) that the charges they levy for
late payments are too high.
The OFT described the imposition of
charges of around £20 and £25 for late
payment as "disproportionately high".
The OFT has given the eight providers,
including Barclaycard, three months to
adjust charges to better reflect the
costs to them of managing late payment.
If the firms fail to co-operate they
could be taken to court and fined.
