Err dang.
I forgot something crucial.
Approx 6 months plus ago, my credit card goes missing. Suddenly noted extra RM 650+ from phone purchase. Tried to trace yet unfrutiful. So I cancel the card straight, without paying that RM 650.
I also have installment for 3 years (paid for 6 months in time, no delay) during that time. Around RM 150 per month or so.
However after I made the cancellation, I completely forgot to continue my monthly payment.
Tried to check the balance on Maybank2U however not available.
So, questions :
1) It wound be RM 650 + RM 150/month PLUS penalties for not paying it every month?
2) How can I check the balance? Go to Maybank counter?
3) Any extra benefit that I get for reporting my card stolen and cancelling it? Other than the obvious - preventing further fraud.
4) Let say I wanna early settlement till the amount is absolute 0 and cancel the card for good, how can I do it?
Thanks in advance.
Technically with outstanding amount, they won't allow you to cancel your card.
The 650 if you reported as fraud, they won't charge you as the banks won't release the money to the scammer/thief asap.
But since you did not mentioned you made a chargeback dispute, it's likely for you to be penalise the full 650 + 150 per month and interest along with it.
You can always negotiate for early settlement but if you're using the installment plan directly from the merchant instead of BT, you might be asked to pay early settlement fees.
Best to find maybank and ask for the hard copy latest statement of account and settle it before more problem.
