Evening all, I have another debt with safeloans, where it has come to the point I should probably pay them. I received this email today. Scare tactics or not ? They say I can pay back at discount rate 590 and it is all cleared? The original debt was 400 ish? So Im not overly arsed about the 590 to pay them back. I am planning on electronic transfer online from my bank, Is this safe ? Will they wipe the debt completely ?

Despite sending you a Default Notice and OFT fact sheet, we still have not received your payment on the outstanding balance which is outlined above. A Default will be issued on your account within the next 30 days and once issued will show on your credit file for a whole 6 years whether satisfied or not. This may seriously affect your ability to obtain credit.

If you do not pay this debt we may also consider using litigation, If we obtain a CCJ against you and you fail to satisfy the CCJ judgement debt we may then seek to obtain further enforcement action against you by attachment of earnings order, we wish to advise you that if we obtain the attachment of earnings order this process will involve your employer providing the court with a certificate of your earnings and if a full attachment of earnings is granted the court will order your employer to make deductions from your salary. Additional fixed court fees will be added to the (CCJ) judgment debt.

We are posting you the Pre-Action Protocal "The Notice of Intention" which will clearly shows you the amount needed to settle your account. If we proceed with litigation statutory courts costs will be added.
