Got a letter on 24/10/2013 as acknowledgement and also mentioned that the payment has been declined due to invalid card number. Asked me to make another payment in 14 days. I checked the card number on the copy and there is no problem in that. checked with bank (halifax) and they say that they have not refused any payment.

They sent me a payment slip to fill which I returned yesterday. I tried to get in touch on the phone but it is literally impossible to speak to anyone as the call ends after giving email contacts.
