For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.When you ask whether they would do a deal with you, are you hoping they might say they'll accept perhaps �20000 instead of �28000, because I'm sure the answer is no. If it was made that easy lots of people would try it. I also can't see them agreeing straight away to freeze interest for the same reason.
Try the CAB- they will help.
You need to act quickly as the interest and charges will be building up quickly.

I don't think borrowing �28K from friends and family is the answer here. If you can't afford to pay off your creditors, you can't afford to pay back friends and family either, and in my experience, many people who borrow from family/friends end up welshing on their debts which is not a very honourable way of behaving and can leave lasting damage to relationships.
