    So would the best thing to do is to pay off let's say £240 and pay 47% interest on the remaining £10? Or maybe I can pay £249 and pay off the interest left on the £1! What a freaking scam. I am trying to get out of debt not enter into it fgs :(

    I know, but the more you give the more you will receive man, dangle the carrot for a couple of month and see what happens, just pay £5 interest or so then they might up your limit a bit. :confused:
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Just a quick update on my recent fraud case, Shop Direct group have got the goods back from the courier and did not actually reach the destination, the account has been closed and removed from my credit file's, what a friendly helpful bunch of people at Shop Direct aka Littlewoods, I have sussed out how it has happened (I think) but they will not tell me who has done it but I am 99% sure it was someone I know.

    Hi Guys (and Gals) :)

    Dunno, they will only raise the limit if you are making them money no? :confused:
