in IVA & DRO
I am in a 6-year IVA, and have made 65 payments of the 72 so far.
So imagine my surprise today when I get home to find a mailshot from Barclaycard, addressed to me, inviting me to apply for a Barclaycard Initial (with a 29.9% APR...representative I'm sure). I was so gobsmacked I read it. I'm not even clear yet, and they're trying to get me to fall off the wagon.
It's currently a by-product of my shredder's wrath, but surely they wouldnt touch me with a barge pole, so why put temptation in the way?
Anyone else had this happen, or am I being a drama-llama?

They've just got your name from a bought in mailing list. Once they are made aware of your details and carry out a check it will be a big NO.
