Creditor not freezing interest

I started my DMP first of February and had 4 creditors 3 of which stopped interest and accepted the reduced payment immediatly however the 4th Mint, comes under RBS i believe are still charging interest. Just wondered if anyone else has had them refuse are they one of the awkward creditors. Not sure how long to wait CCCS say to wait and see what they say as its early days, I find this very very worrying advice please from one of you.

    Hi

    I am not in a DMP but I have requested reduced payments to all my creditors and I have just checked my statements and it seems that Mint have frozen my interest and the amount I am paying is acutally coming of the O/S balance.

    hope that helps

    Freezing interest/charges is a goodwill gesture, and is not guaranteed. Its completely normal for some creditors to play up, but there is nothing you can do other than to ask again as a responsible lender to help you pay off the debt, you need the interest frozen.
