    I'd try this on the DFW Board as well - I can only say it sounds a bit harsh to me!

    Have you been ignoring this debt for a while?

    3 weeks ago you spent £520 on paving flags for your garden. I know because I saw the thread about the %15 off at B&Q.

    Are you sure you can't find £165 given how serious this is?
