Hi Rog,

I set up the monthly arrangement by phone (and they agreed to take off a £300 + VAT charge they had recently put on) - but then I got a letter 2 days later saying that as I was a homeowner I would have to pay the full balance plus the £300 + VAT charge within 14 days or face bankruptcy !

I phoned them and they said that if I paid with 14 days thay would reduce the total amount by 20% but not take the charge off !

I'm pretty sure that this is either unlawful or sailing very close to the wind at best....................

I would agree with you, however I'm not qualified to tell you what you can do and I would suggest that you get down to the CAB as soon as possible, or see a solicitor, because there has to be some procedure before they can make you bankrupt.
