Barclays/Barclaycard

Hi

Anyone just started a DMP and having problems with Barclays & Barclaycard? i'm with payplan and all other creditors either stopped or reduced interest really quickly but barclays haven't yet replied to the offers and are still charging full interest and also late payments, so my debt is increasing. I know they don;t have to reduce interest but they are the only ones not to have done so

    You should get your dmp provider to write to them again, although I know they can be awkward when it comes to stopping charges/interest.
    If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.

    up until May they had stopped the interest on my reduced payments (but if i remember one of the worst creditors at the beginning and for responding to letters )
    .....but due to CAB review and increasing my payments to Barclaycard .. without warning B/C started adding 12.6% interest going back to Cab tommorow to try and get it stopped or reduced ..will be back where i started otherwise
