Hi, I'm having a bit of a nightmare here with Vanquis. My credit limit is £1500 and the minimum payment each month is over £90. Each month I am barely able to make the minimum payment and when the interest and fees are all added I end up over limit by about £80.Each month my minimum payment is rising by about 10p, this has been happening for about the last 10 months and it's really difficult to pay as I'm not employed and each month it's getting worse and worse. Can someone please help me? I don't know what to do.

Sadly if you are only paying the minimum amount and charges and interest are being added each month then it is not going to reduce very quickly.

 

I think you will need to write to them and ask them to cease adding this as you are no longer able to afford these payments.

Meanwhile the gist of the letter is that you have offered them a a reduced amount .. we will call that figure £A.

 

They have said that it doesnt meet their minimum requirements and have demanded a sum of £X which is double the amount you have offered. Even then they are advising they will only accept sum X for 3 months.

 

Plus they are demanding that you telephone them in order to "start the arrangement".

 

Neither the amount they are demanding or the contacting of them is acceptable to you.

 

I think perhaps a letter along the lines of.

 

Dear Sir,

 

I am in receipt of your letter dated XYZ.

 

I have made you aware of my financial circumstances and made an offer which is commensurate with my financial situation and is a percentage of my disposable income. Other creditors are accepting this and I am rather dissappointed by your response.

 

I must repeat my request for you to accept my offer of £A and to cease adding interest and charges until my circumstances improve.

 

I must also insist that you cease insisting I contact you by telephone. It is my legal right to conduct my financial business in writing and in the circumstances, I feel it is also in my interests to communicate in this manner in order that I have an accurate record of communication between us.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

PRINT or sign digitally.
