    Hi

    I know it's a bummer loosing your payment but as you have said you will be better off in the long run.
    CCCS told me that it would be fine for me to write to my creditors and ask them to freeze interest and charges if I wanted to, but their offical advise was to wait until the original lender had passed the debt on to a DCA as most of the time interest and charges are froze from then on, easier said than done, as by the time my accounts have been sold on they will have grown considerably, so best to have a go, they can only say no or words to that effect :D
