Lloyds just wrote to me

and although they haven't accepted my reduced payments they have frozen my interest as a "goodwill gesture".I'm happy with that :)

    Yep definitely-plus I should get the budgeting loan soon which is 0% so that will pay off part of another card -it's going the right way anyway :) Pity not all companies are as nice to me-some refused the reduced payments and wouldn't freeze interest either :(

    got the forms from the job centre-you have to be on income support or a few other benefits-can't remember which and you have to state what you want the loan for etc
