    Have you tried a credit card?
  • Can they not take manual payments over the phone?
    If you believe you can, you will. If you believe you can't, you won't.

    Secured/Unsecured loans x 1 
    Credit Cards x 8 (total limit £55,050)
    Creation FS Retail Account x 1
    Creation Credit Sale 0% x 1 = £112.50pm x 20 mths
    0% Overdraft x 1 (£0 / £250)
    Mortgage Outstanding - £137,707.00 (Payment 13/360)
    Total Debt = £7,400 (0%APR) @ £100pm - Stoozing

    Yes but I have tried three different cards, one from a completely different bank and none work on this one website. It is very frustrating. The company do not seem that interested though, it was a case of; it doesn't work there is nothing we can do.   
    Take your business elsewhere?

    The company would be interested if they were making no sales. Suggests it is an isolated problem, not systemic.

    My card was declined my local post office.

    Bank  could not see any problem with the card . Nor was there any record of payment being requested.  

    He suggested there was a problem woth the link from the macine to the bank and to try again. If no success to contact them again.

    Next day  I tried it again at the Post office and it worked.
