If you simply cease payments then your credit file will be affected and the account passed to a DCA eventually. If you negotiate closing the account and freezing interest and making a monthly payment - then that will also affect your credit file ( usually gets marked as arrangement ) as would a DMP.
    Personally I would call 50% APR excessive for a credit card and I wasn't aware of it at the time. What shall I do?

    Offered but refused on the grounds that I can afford the £25 per month minimum payment!

    These sort of complaints to credit cards are pretty new, there isn't a track record of cases yet that can be referred to.

    If you can't afford to make the minimum payments without getting further into debt each month you should consider your full debt position and whether a debt management paln would help stabilise your situation, see https://debtcamel.co.uk/debt-options/guide-to-dmps/.

      I have received a reply to my letter providing me with the terms and conditions. However they did not provide me with any signatures either from myself or from them. What should I do?

          When did you apply for the card and how did you apply?

          If it was online then a 'tick box' signature done online will suffice on the agreement

          It may be that there are only one set of terms and conditions if the account is newish

          ThAs Nemesis has said, did you send a formal CCA request with the fee

          AS for the 50% APR , well that should have been on the credit agreement that you should have signed either online or in real

            1) No - there was only one set of T's and C's provided.
            2) Yes.

            1) Online a year ago.
            2) This was not provided.
            3)
            4)
            5) I believe that it was.

              All the recent online applications that I have seen require the applicant to tick a box (or similar) to signify that the T&Cs have been accepted.

                And to clarify I did tick such a box! Yet it was not provided in the paperwork that I was sent.

                  Have they sent an accurate copy of the original agreement?

                  (Since Carey, a reconstructed version is compliant).

                    I'd say no but they've provided an accurate version of the terms and conditions. No signature was provided.

                        Ok so I assume you're saying that the debt is valid and should be paid. As I cannot afford to pay it at the ridiculously high interest rate that has been imposed what should I do?

                          There are a few options but many of them will damage your credit rating, however i am guessing this is fairly poor anyway seeing as the APR is 50%.
                          You can continue paying the minimum payments and as much extra to pay it off

                          Try to apply for other credit cards with a lower interest rate and transfer the balance

                          If the account has been defaulted - write and explain the situation and enter a repayment plan on the condition they stop adding interest

                          If the account has not been defaulted , similar to above but ask that they do not default the agreement (it will still damage your credit rating)

                          Do nothing and watch the amounts clock up - wait for it to be sold hopefully and then sort it out

                            Thank you. In response to your proposed solutions:

                            1) Yes I could do the minimum payments but I can't possibly do more!
                            2) I have tried but been refused.
                            3a) The account has not been defaulted yet. However as per 4 below I plan to default the account as soon as the freeze period (September) expires.
                            3b) I have done so and been told no we can't do a repayment plan if you can afford the minimum payment. This is less than the monthly interest!
                            4) I think that's the most likely solution. What should I do? My Mum and Dad are very anxious about debt collectors attending our home address and I'm personally worried that I could be arrested if the Police are called. I am very well known to my local Police force and have heard about other people being arrested for non-payment of civil debts.

                              From my understanding, the minimum repayment should not be less than the interest charged [MENTION=48934]Debt Camel[/MENTION]

                              Debt is not a criminal offence, you can not be arrested for debt. I am not sure where you heard about people being arrested for non payment of civil debts, not in the UK.
                              If you are well known to the local police, debt collectors should be a walk in the park. Besides, they very very rarely call. I have had one , once and when I asked him to go away (politely) he did , with no payment
                              The only way you could be was if a court ordered you to attend for example an examination of your income and expenditure and you didn't. They could then issue a warrant but I have never ever heard of that
                              [MENTION=5553]charitynjw[/MENTION] any thoughts?
