    That is where I am at fault. At the last increase, I thought I would be able to clear but with everything else going up, made the cutbacks that were needed and I agree, it is best to have a card available to you if needed.

    That said, I will be on the phone to them today asking to stop the card and to agree a plan to repay the balance, are they open to offers on clearing balances or is it a worthless exercise?


    Why would they be...to the contrary they'll want to make sure that you take as long as possible to clear balance and pay interest

    Generally they won't accept lower offers to clear balances until you are officially in arrears (and have therefore shot your credit rating to hell...)
