Had a bit of a shock today when I checked the statement of one of my cards and it was almost £1.5K more than it should have been.

Turns out this CC company had managed to request a balance transfer twice from another card of mine. The fun part is that it had been authorised both times even though after the first transfer there was actually nothing left on the balance of my original card. Clever of them, huh?

No wonder the original card company seemed so happy when I called them up. I was actually *in credit* with them - that can’t happen too often.
