Default Need Your Help And Advice

Hi all,

I defaulted on my credit card two years ago and started paying back £40.00 a month just over a year ago through a debt collection agency (even though the debt is with Halifax visa). The outstanding debt was initially £2300.00 and is now £1800. The thing is that I can recall my credit limit on this account at the time only being £1500. I guess they have charged me nearly £1000 in charges or interest. Can anyone advice me on how I would gain information on charges applied to this account etc and how to get the charges knocked of the real amount owed. Your advice is really appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!!

You might want to talk to your banker about it

they must have kept charging interest on the credit card. add to that, the debt collection agency fees, etc. speak to Halifax, they'd send you a breakdown of charges. although they might charge you for it.
