Tesco Credit Account Fully Paid But My Available Credit is 0 (zero)

  • allanr's Avatar
    My credit card account is fully paid off with no outstanding amount. My "available credit" is showing as 0 (zero) even though my account is fully paid up which in theory means I cannot currently use my credit card. I found it impossible to be able to talk to any advisor as my finger was aching after pressing so many buttons following each automatic contact question. Is there anyway I can get my available credit to be adjusted back to my credit limit so that I can start using my credit card?

    Hi
    I'm really sorry to hear about this, you must have a gremlyn in your account.
    I can appreciate it would be so inconvenient having a credit card you cannot use.
    Please send Tesco Bank a 'Private Message' to get this checked out for you and give with an appropriate response.
    Click on this link and it will take you to a page, 'About Tesco Bank'.
    In the top right of the page click 'Send a Message'.

    Hope this helps so you can start spending on your card again.
    Stay safe and warm wishes

    Thanks for responses from three individuals. As a new member here it is unclear if any of the responders are Tesco employees acting in their official capacity or are fellow subscribers to the Forum. I have clicked on the Tesco bank link supplied by the responders and still unclear if I would be posting my personal details to Tesco Bank as a private message or posting back to the Forum. On this basis I will wait until Tesco automatically resets my available credit back to my credit limit and in the meantime I wont bother to use my Credit Card. I am grateful for the three responses to my query.

    Thanks for the offer to help. Things have moved on in the right direction. My available credit is partly restored and by simple arithmetic I can deduce the difference between the available credit and my credit limit lines up with a payment I made to the credit card account on 1 July.
