I want to buy something on credit card but on payment plan

I got into a bit of trouble with Mint, am paying off £1 per month. Current balance £3104 credit limit £3200. I need to get my daughter a new car seat which costs £80 - I'll have to order it online, I have £40 cash, and my sis is putting £40 towards seat, so will be able to pay card back tomorrow. I don't5 have a debit card to be able to do it that way.

Question is will Mint be ok about me doing this or will they want me to pay more each month?

    i would have thought this may invalidate your arrangement .dose your sister not have a card and you could pay her back ?

  • I would have thought your Mint card would already be blocked and unusuable if you are on a repayment plan.
    Is it a big retail store / ie could you get it deliverd to a local store for you to pick up and pay eg Argos, Woolies?
    Otherwise I would get a friend or family member to order for you and you give them the money to pay for it.
