    We have succesfully negotiated a £10 month payment with the debt agency. However they have added on a whole load of charges we will agree to pay £10 pm on the original debt but not pay the charges, what right have we to do this?
    Surely this comes under the unfair charges sitiuation that is currently a topic at the moment.
    It pays to challenge

    Because he obviously thinks he is right and would prefer defaults, court cases etc

    The fact is reading a contract isnt exactly rocket science

    If you cant comply or there is any likiehood you wont be able too, dont sign and get one that suits you

    I pay extra each month for a non contract membership as I may have to cancel at any time due to recurring injury

    Im willing to do this because I read the contract
