Understanding Unaffordable Credit Cards

Credit cards are designed for short-term borrowing — but for many in the UK, they’ve become a long-term financial burden.

According to the FCA, over 1.4 million cardholders have been trapped in persistent debt, making only minimum payments for at least three consecutive years. Some lenders charge between 20–40% APR, with others charging as much as 80% APR — making credit cards one of the most expensive ways to borrow long term.

When credit limits are increased without proper affordability checks and customers are allowed to drift deeper into debt, it becomes unaffordable lending — and you may be entitled to claim compensation.

What Counts as Unaffordable Lending on a Credit Card?

Your credit card provider is regulated by the FCA and must ensure that any credit they offer is affordable and responsible. If they failed to check your financial circumstances, or repeatedly increased your credit limit despite warning signs — that’s a breach of their duties.

Common red flags include:

  • Missed or defaulted payments on other credit cards, loans, or overdrafts
  • Multiple credit limit increases for months or years
  • Rising card balances instead of decreasing them over time

If any of these apply to you, you may be eligible for a refund of interest and charges.

You Might Be Eligible if:

  • You were frequently in your overdraft and struggled to get out of it
  • Your bank increased your overdraft limit without checking if you could afford it
  • You relied on your overdraft as part of your income
  • You received letters or calls about missed payments or arrears
  • You were charged fees for going over your limit or maintaining an overdraft you couldn't pay back

Why Make an Overdraft Claim?

  • Get back money you were unfairly charged — interest, fees, and more
  • Stop further interest and fees from building up
  • Get relief from financial stress and restore control

How Much Could I Get Back?

Typical refunds range from £1000 to over £3,000 for Overdrafts.

Even if you accepted it, the lender still had a duty to check affordability. If they failed to assess your financial situation properly, the limit increase may be classed as irresponsible lending.

Yes. You can still claim compensation for interest and charges applied during the time the card was unaffordable — even if the balance is paid or the account is closed.
