Liz Phillips, Daily Mail 10 October 2007Mature student Dee Da Silva, 39, (pictured, left, with son Aiden) has never had a late or missed payment on her Abbey credit card. But last month she received notification that her interest rate was doubling from 17.9% to 34.9%. Mrs Da Silva, from Marlow, Bucks, says: 'I pay the minimum by direct debit every month, so I can't miss a payment. I can't understand it. It is so unfair.' The Abbey card is run by MBNA, but it gave no clue why her rate has doubled. A spokesman for MBNA says: 'We regularly review individuals' credit card rates and manage them up and down. The way the account has been handled is just one of the factors we look at.'
