Shocking isn't it? As much as its the responsibility of the individual to refuse such offers, surely the banks have to take some blame here.
Good luck Corfu xx

I have to say the relief when phone calls stopped was immense. For the past 5 years we have answered our phone, and without fear.

Ditto what Lesley said.
We've only really had the minimum of calls but MBNA have sent their first contact, a text to husbands phone, despite me taking it off the system, saying they had tried contacting us !!!!! er no I don't think they have.

Hi I remember writing to Barclaycard informing them I was entering an IVA. They wrote back and increased my limit by £8000!!!
Lost all respect for them after that!
