FCA press release here - https://www.fca.org.uk/news/press-releases/new-credit-card-rules-introduced-fca
I don't think it applies to you mary as you are in a DMP and don't pay interest and charges.
Its more aimed at people who keep their credit card accounts ticking over by paying minimum payments only.0 -

Have you any news re. the f. & f. offers? I heard that it used to be that any fairly reasonable offer would be accepted, now they want much more.
I am in receipt of pension,in a DMP and my argument is that I could keel over tomorrow and they wouldn't get a penny, so why not accept an offer now?
You're doing really well with everything, I admire you for self-managing.0
