    Moonlapse - I cannot believe how rude some of the posters on his thread have been. Please don't judge the whole of the MSE Forum by them.

    The advice I can offer is based on my own experience: when I was serously ill some years ago, I (naturally) had lots on my mind and went through a bit of a forgetful phase. To deal with the credit cards, I sent up a direct debit with my bank to automatically pay off the minimum amount each month (there should be instructions somewhere on the back of your credit card statement about how to do this). If you wish, you can always make an another 'one-off' payment in addition to the direct debit, using your normal payment, if you want to pay off the whole balance, or more than the minimum.

    Hope this helps.

    What a wierd response...lovin the loveliness BUT if you wants the advice then you have to explain, rather than tell half a story and sulk off.
