    Just explain your circumstances and see what help they can give to you.

    As an aside, did you ever get any charges of £12.00 or more over the last 6 years cos reclaiming the charges is another thing you might want to do to help reduce the overall amount that you owe to them ;)

    In that case don't agree to anything that is not confirmed in writing within a reasonable timescale. So make them aware of your circumstances and see whether they can either reduce interest or lower the interest because you are not refusing to pay but asking for help.
