Thats right, they rang me and say they now have the facility of a credit card in their name. The cost of furnishing a one bedroom flat is 6900 euros appxt. with white goods and installation all included. They say they will provide new locks at the end as well. They added 2% CC fees.
I have paid because now there is credit card protection. Now time will tell. We also now await what their rental people will be able to do. I have made contact with local estate agents, and if FDW are no good, I will post that information here.
