If you change your mind about your Nationwide credit card within 14 days of opening your account, you can cancel your agreement with us. To do this, you should write to Nationwide Building Society, Credit Card Services, PO Box 8738, Wigston, LE18 9BG and return all the cards we have issued, cut in two and repay anything you owe us under the agreement. Unless agreed otherwise English law will apply and all communications and documentation in relation to your credit card account will be in English.

Where we carry out a search about you at a credit reference agency, the agency will record details of this search and this information will be made available to other organisations to which you may apply for credit. However, you should be aware that multiple credit searches on your credit reference agency records may make it difficult for you to obtain credit elsewhere.

If you have taken out payment protection insurance we may restrict or prohibit the use of your credit card if you claim a benefit from this insurance.
