mercers debt collection!

i am on a £1 repayment plan. however, mercers debt collection have been chasing up what i owe barclaycard. they are saying if you pay £400 odd quid now we will let you pay 70 quid a month! i have been told by payplan to ignore it and maintain my payment of £1 but i'm getting worried at what will come in the post next!

capital one accepted my payment plan and are happy for £1 a month. aqua(halifax) may do but had to send a letter to stop them calling me...

what should i do or has anyone been in the same situation regarding mercers???

getting very worried.
mike.
