    Sounds like its all going well nonny.

    Had a letter from Natwest CC, so annoying. I took the card out on a 0% rate and they've now slapped on 1.3%each month. So I owe them more now than I did last month. Poop! Do you think its worth calling CCCS about it. Im not sure whether you need to tell them if creditors are adding interest. They've also reduced the limit so thats is pretty close to the balance. Im worried that I might end up going over it if Im not paying off enough to bring the balance down.
    I dont get statements for the current account anymore so dont know how the other half is going.
    And BofS still lost in the etha somewhere :)

    But at least the sun is shinning....

    Hi everyone, finally got the paperwork to cccs in the post but have held off with the token payments as the post office is in the village shop where my MIL works so I will go to town tomorrow, none are due until the start of next week anyway. I got the truecall up and running this morning too!! I set it for starred callers only as I only get 1 or 2 calls a week, we live pretty close to family and I keep in touch with friends by email/text. I didn't put my own mobile on so I could test it, so far so good but I will report any probs to all of you who may be thinking of investing.

    Worth giving Natwest a phone, I phoned and it was all to do with that delinquent thing, we hadn't been a bad custmer for long enough?????? Woman was nice and said it had to go through their system and we had to become delinquent:eek:. Still haven't heard a thing so don't know if I am delinquent or not yet:rotfl::rotfl:

    Thanks Nonnynonny,

    hope you're ok?

    Cahoot should lead the way in DMPs, almost wish I had a loan with them....:rotfl:

    Hello yes im great thanks,

    Cahoot were strange, i dont think they could find my account judging by the noises the phone operator made 'mmm' 'aahh' 'ehh'.

    I then explained the situation and they said 'Oh yes we always accept DMP's whatever the value, thats no problem' ????

  • Hiall, well just got home on lunch hour,stack of post behind the door :eek:
    Anyway,opens it and first letter is from CCCS dated 4th March advising that Virgin CC not accepting DMP. SEcond letter dated 4th March very nice letter from Virgin stating they have accepted, will stop all interest and charges and asking me to set up a standing order / DD to collect the reduced payments each month.

    What do I do? Do I let CCCS know I have had this letter or will they already know? And what about setting a DD up, this is already covered by the CCCS payment - do I need to contact Virgin or do I just leave it to the DMP now?

    Slightly confusing!!!!

    So that's Cap One and Virgin now accepted, not heard anything from the other 5 yet...........will keep you posted.

    Happy Monday everyone! :j

    Anyone else had trouble setting up truecall? no one can get through ATM, even starred callers. Could just turn the ringer off and send it back....

    Looking good Nonnynonny! Although your cccs payments are fab compared to ours! Our creditors probably want to say are you taking the pi** to ours, well that's pretty much what HSBC did say. And Next are just playing silly buggars, esp with dh's account all they've said to him is thank you for the query on your account we are investigating it! Me, they keep sending me credit agreements to sign - which I'm not!!!
    Well cahoot:Twish I knew that along time ago!?
    Nataz - when I've phoned cccs about not acceptance - interest they've just noted it and said we'll just send them the money....

    Going to phone mbna and ask them to change payment date to 25th, wish me luck!
