After some negotiation with barclaycard a while ago, I managed to get them to suspend interest and charges - hang in there!0 -
Mercers (the collections part of Barclays) seem to me to be easier to talk to but are complete bullies. I think its fair to say all lenders are a pain the preverbial and the sooner we clear our debts we wont have to worry about them or even talk to them ever again
How or why has your interest gone up so much? was you on a LOB figure before and they have now put you on the normal rate or what? Also are you doing the DMP through the CCCS or Payplan or doing it yourself? if yourself you need to get this sorted asap.Official DFW Nerd Club - Member no. 297 - Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts

Yep - Like many creditors - always ready with help and compassion. :rolleyes:
If you're REALLY lucky, they may pass your account to those 'WONDERFUL' people at MERCERS. :eek: :eek:
Thank the lord for understanding creditors - Alleluliah!! :mad: :mad:I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.
