Credit Card Guidance Issued Ahead of Postal Strike
Ahead of the nationwide postal strikes, Britons are urged to ensure they will not be hit with late payment fines for credit cards, utility bills and other financial commitments usually paid via mail.
With Britain to be hit by national post strikes later on this week, people are being advised to take steps to avoid being hit late payment charges for credit cards and other financial commitments.
As the Communication Workers’ Union points out that strike action is planned to take place this Thursday and Friday (October 22nd and 23rd), the Payment Council states that those who normally pay bills by cheque should endeavour to find out if they will be fined in the event that such a payment is made late.
Consequently, consumers are advised to investigate other payment options, for example paying by debit or credit card online, over the phone or at a post office or bank branch.
