    You can call and ask them to switch you onto a better product, but they are under no obligation to do so. Do you have another card with available credit to do a balance transfer?

    If you haven't defaulted or entered into a DMP, they don't really have any reason to do it.

    Sorry, it's not brilliant news...

    You can ask, but probably won't get, you can ask them to freeze any increase and not use the card again.

    Have you considered a 0% BT card?
  • Thanks, I have moved around a lot in the past and got into this mess!!! I will ring them - thanks :-)
