Hi Everyone
I recently posted "naming and shaming virgin/mbna" for a 14% increase in my interest rate. I have literally now just phoned them and said I can't afford to repay them at that rate and so they would need to either reinstate my previous rate or take me to court for the money. They could see I had a very good payment history with them with only blip being a late payment by less than a week.
In this instance giving them the option of playing fair or getting nothing paid off.
If you're having real problems or you feel that these increases are wrong on principle, then it's worth contacting them.
