Shandrani hotel Mauritius

Vics009

Hi all :j
I am getting married next year in Mauritius but we don't have a credit card due to being on a debt plan with Gregory Pennington and have been for 3 Years

The hotel want a security deposit of 40% of total bill around £3300 !!
They want this by credit card which we don't have we do have a pre paid cash plus card would this do , for Mauritius places that need a credit card eg: the hotel

Also we are booking with a high street travel agent can the hotel still ask for a deposit of so much ?

Debt plan and getting married in Mauritius excellent.

Bugsy's tip of the day is get married in Skegness I'm sure the hotels don't even cost 3.5k.

To bugsy please don't judge me you don't know me or my circumstances if I wanted to be judged I would have asked to be judged , I came asking for advice - I didn't say how I was funding it for all you know people are paying or I could have saved .. If you read my post I am asking for advice on could I use Cashplus abroad as a credit card

Irrelevant.

You're on a DMP. Your spending/someone else is spending a small fortune on a wedding in Mauritius. Living as if you're a millionaire.

I wonder why you're on a DMP.

Do the right thing.

Pay off your debts first then have a fancy wedding.

It's all about priorities.

Marriage is expensive. Divorce can cost even more. Love is free. Postpone the marriage and use the money to pay off your debts. If you both love each other then it should be a no-brainier. Also remember love conquers all.

You didn't even read it ... I have not said when my dmp will end look I didn't come here to be judged and if parents want to pay what is the harm I don't understand ... I wanted advice not judgement please how hard is that

All I asked was could a Cashplus card be used for a hotel security deposit like a credit card

How about this for an idea?

Get your parents to pay your debts off?

Or stand on your own two feet and take responsibility maybe?

I am thank you and I am paying them off and if you must all know it ends in 3 months now you all know maybe you be a bit more willing and not so unkind to me as to answer my question
