            In the first instance i would contact AMEX and inform them that i wish to pay off the account in full. Hopefully they will be able to give you a total balance.
 Otherwise you will need to go through the DCA.
 Either way, when requesting to close the account, ask for written confirmation that the account has been fully closed. You should really put this in writing, but i suppose you can do that later if you don't receive the letter.After falling off the gambling wagon (twice): £33,600 (24,000+ 9,600) - Original CC Debt: £7,885.91
