    Go to the nearest A&L bank and speak with a personal bank advisor and say how sorry you were for accidently stopping the DD/payments and "How much do I owe you since this mishap"? and pay them and hope they still have you as a customer.
    Have the DD reinstated to a date that suits you and the branch and that way you will be able to repair your credit with A&L,if you don't you will have no credit from anyone it is as simple as that.
    One you have repair the above issues then think about the APR rate and how to tackle that problem.
    Stop writing letters and get down there and talk to someone .
