Littlewoods refused payment plan...

My Dad is 85
He and my Mum had a littkewoods catalogue.
They paid £150 a month
My mum passed away and Dad had to pay for funeral (mum had no insurance )
So now he just has the one pension and they have stopped his pension credit as he is slightly over the threshold.

I wrote a email to the specialist department explaining mum died and he could no longer afford the £150
I asked if we could set up a p/p for £80 a month
They said no
This was their reply

Would he get into trouble if we just pay the £80 a month ?
He's never missed a payment in 20 years

That doesn't seem likely. There are probably 0% deals for quick payment but that would apply to historic debt

AFAIK the catalogue repayments are interest free. However, if you get behind with the payments thats a different story. Best thing is to contact Citizens Advice.

On another but related note, is your dad getting a discount on council tax as he's now sole occupier (I assume) at his house? If not, claim this aSAP as it'll help.
