need to seriouslly improve my credit rating!! :(

hi,

right ok i signed up with call credit (only 2 hours ago! and now forgotten my username!!) :( and it DOES show a mail order account ( MELGOLD LTD (THE COUNTRY GARDEN )

and it shows that this month that I have made a late payment THEY NEVER send me statements like my Argos Account does to tell me to pay THEY never contact me regarding this debt and I am worried that it'll default (and on this referance agency I see a default that I have paid fully now)

My Argos account I have now setup a standing order for £35 a week to clear the account balance, though, they're is no interest being applied on the account and this melgold account is aparently applying £5+ a month to the account. So I ain't sure whatt to do?

It shows 6 months of missed payments though, in beteewn it shows a payment of another 6 months then 6 months of missed..

my rating is 1 star which is why I am not getting the credit I deserve...

What do I do? I mean I am worried to !!!!!! vile...

    What do they charge interest on if account is paid off in full?

    Close the account, and ask for a final ballance after that. If it was cleared at the beginning of the year, there should be no interest charges - however there may be a standing account charge (they charge you for having the account regardless of if you use it).

    fine out (it will be in the initial agreement small print possibly - or ring them)- close the account (as your not using it) and clear any ballance.
