    Default Barclaycard debt + others

    hello !
    I have been out of work for 4 months now and i do not have sufficiant funds to pay the minimum payment for next month . I also have 3 other cards and 1 personal loan .
    I have had these for some time now but i have never defaulted or missed any payments .
    Due to a glitch on my credit score i cannot consolidate with a personal loan .
    I am paying just under £500 in total per month and there is no sign at the moment of improving any income .

    What legal options do i have and how do i go about them ?

    Thanks

    Default Re: Barclaycard debt + others

    Hi HG,

    You say you've never defaulted on any of these a/c's. However, have you suffered any Late Pay't Fees or other penalty charges which you can reclaim, to reduce the debts.

    There are some letters here (A, B or C) which you could send to each Creditor to try and get you some breathing space http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...templates.html

    If they refuse to help you, you could use Letter N from the same link to see if they have your credit agreement.

    Alternatively, you could use another route as set out here - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...uldnt-use.html

    The point being that, if they don't have a valid Credit Agreement for an a/c, they cannot enforce collection on it. You can therefore repay the debt at a rate which you can afford.
