Just a quick question...
Have got informal payments with barclaycard and they rang for a review of our budget which is the same so kept payments as they are but they have said that in 2 months time they will probably send the debt to a dca as it's had reduced payments for over 6 months but they said that if we could up the payments to 83 from 62 and put it on a formal payment plan for 5 years that would stop any further action on the account but they want to charge us 3% interest for the 5 years but currently all interest and charges are stopped anyway. My question is ... is it worth doing as we have 2 defaults with nationwide already.
Many thanks in advance

No, let the debt go to a DCA, no more interest will be added.
If you already have two defaults, then another makes little difference.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings, and Bankruptcy and living with it boards.
