Angry, Annoyed or puzzled? Can they do this?

Okay - I've recieved some great advice form National Debt Line. I have written to all my creditors back in March.
Some called instantly and were happy to help out. Others were slow and I had to send chaser letters, but repayments have started.
Two have ignored me completely. I have sent letters approx every 2 weeks and have telephoned and faxed them. They "Haven't recieved anything from me" - all 6 letters and 2 faxes to EACH company have just disappeared.
Despite phone calls to tell them and these letters, they are still adding interest and charges to the debts. I am really annoyed, as one company has even added £200 in charges since March - for a debt that I want to repay but they don't seem to want to let me!
I have now sent the 2 letters asking them to sue me and telling them I wont be paying anymore money to them until the courts sort it out. :mad: I am livid. Its almost as if they have deliberatley ignored me to add charges to make some more money out of me!
What are my chances of getting these monies refunded - they have ignored me, not the other way round? And how would anyone suggest they word it??

Out of interest, who are these two debts with?
Barclaycard said nicely not to worry about recorded as she would give me the fax number and it would come straight through to the office.
Lesson learnt.
MBNA did pass it onto an agency (but only for the arrears and not the balance) - but are still adding interest and charges. So I've written a letter inviting them to sue us for the debt and we will not be paying anything else. Strangely - they got that one and called this morning........
In fact I have only really had problems with 2 companies one being open + direct and the other being Blackhorse. Blackhorse have refused the DMP or to freeze interest, well i'm sorry but i don't have any more money to give at the mo, in fact i told them also to do their worst :eek: . I have found that when you fight back and tell them to go ahead they back down as they are not used to being challenged back :T . There is an old saying, you can only kick a dog so many times and eventually when you're least expecting it it will turn round and bite back
