freezing interest on credit cards

HI,

this is my first post.started DMP in Jan 2010 most of our creditors have reduced or stopped interest BUT barclaycard are still charging about
12 % on 2 of our cards which is still pretty high.

has anyone out there managed to get them to stop charging interest.

Its going to take even longer to pay off our (not insubstantial) debt

~£45,288 to ...MBNA Natwest Bank of Scotland Egg Santander

But going down not up:)
