What to do

  2. Click Not arrived yet: take it back, and confirm.Click Not arrived yet: take it back, and confirm.

A card says "interest not known: room not counted"

What you see

In a cycle's card room, under a card the bank debits by itself: interest not known: room not counted. Its room doesn't grow after the debit.

In a cycle's card room, under a card the bank debits by itself: interest not known: room not counted. Its room doesn't grow after the debit.

Why it happens

A fixed debit on a card near its limit mostly pays the month's interest and fees. Until the app knows them, from the card's statements or the rate you enter, it counts none of the debit as room, rather than room that may never exist.

What to do

  1. Open Accounts and click the card.Open Accounts and click the card.
  2. Enter Monthly interest, % from your statement, and click Done. Or read the card's statements with Match to statement: their interest and fees are used first.Enter Monthly interest, % from your statement, and click Done.

How you know it's fixed

You should now see the card's room grow after each debit only by what is left once interest, fees and the charges on the card are paid.

A card "will go over its limit"

What you see

On Today, in Each cycle, worked out and in the Advisor: … will go over its limit; the bank may charge an over-limit fee, with the day of the charge.

On Today, in Each cycle, worked out and in the Advisor: … will go over its limit; the bank may charge an over-limit fee, with the day of the charge.

Why it happens

A charge billed to the card falls before the bill that gives it room back. The app keeps the charge on the card, as the bank will, and never moves it to an account by itself.

What to do

  1. Click the line: the card opens.Click the line: the card opens.
  2. Check its Credit limit and what it owes against your statement: a limit raised by the bank, or a payment not yet recorded, gives the room back.Check its Credit limit and what it owes against your statement: a limit raised by the bank, or a payment not yet recorded, gives the room back.

The Advisor won't move or cancel a card's automatic debit, a bank loan or a cheque

What you see

A card's monthly debit, a loan's instalment or a cheque isn't among the things you could move. It is listed under "Fixed: the bank takes these by itself", and asking for it by name says it can't be moved or cancelled here.

A card's monthly debit, a loan's instalment or a cheque isn't among the things you could move. It is listed under "Fixed: the bank takes these by itself", and asking for it by name says it can't be moved or cancelled here.

Why it happens

The bank takes the debit or the instalment on its day, and cashes a cheque on its date, whatever the app's plan says, so moving or cancelling it in the app would only make the forecast wrong.

What to do

  1. To change what the bank takes, or the day, open the card in Accounts and change What the bank takes or the Due day, as agreed with your bank.To change what the bank takes, or the day, open the card in Accounts and change What the bank takes or the Due day, as agreed with your bank.

"A transfer has both sides in …"

What you see

A line on Today: A transfer has both sides in Travel cash. Open it to fix. Or: A transfer in … is missing its other side.

A line on Today: A transfer has both sides in Travel cash. Open it to fix. Or: A transfer in … is missing its other side.

Why it happens

Both sides of the transfer are on one account, so they cancel out there, and the account the money left never shows it going. An earlier version did this when a transfer was changed in the purchase form. A transfer can also lose one side. The app never guesses the right account: it shows the line and waits for you.

What to do

  1. Click the line. The transfer opens and says what is wrong. Nothing has changed yet.Click the line. The transfer opens and says what is wrong. Nothing has changed yet.

Why it happens

A transfer is two sides: money leaving one of your accounts and arriving in another, on one day. The app never saves one that would be broken, and changes nothing when it refuses.

What to do

  1. Click OK, then choose two different accounts in From and To.Click OK, then choose two different accounts in From and To.
