Have 69 k of credit card debt,

all other priority debts are been paid ..

...mortgage,securedloan,gas,electricity,council tax etc.

 

This debt had built up over time as husband was made redundant a few times in several years.

 

Have still been paying cards,

some I have been robbing Peter to pay Paul with.

 

Have defaulted by one month a couple of times but bought up to date.

 

My question is

can I ask for a CCA on accounts while I am still paying them or do I have to default

and if I do ask and they have proper documentation can they then ask for all monies under the agreement at once.

 

 

Thanks.

My question is

can I ask for a CCA on accounts while I am still paying them or do I have to default - you can CCA at anytime but if they are post APR 2007 not much point really.

and if I do ask and they have proper documentation can they then ask for all monies under the agreement at once. - no

 

 

Thanks.

Also if you are struggling to meet repayments, ask your creditors for a payment break or a reduced amount for a set period. Never pay more than what you can realistically afford.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

You can find out account starting dates by getting hold of your credit report.

As you may know,

it is very important to know whether they were taken out before April 2007,

because of a change to the consumer credit act.

 

 

If creditors want to enforce in court a pre April 2007 debt, they need to supply a copy of original consumer credit agreement, if you defended any court claim.

 

It is going to be a long process over years,

but if you can get hold of as much info as possible now,

it will help you understand how debt collection works,

what you need to do and hopefully avoid sny traps.

 

 

Original creditors don't tend to take court action themselves in regard to unsecured debts and instead sell on the debts to DCA's.

It is the DCA's that look to make money several years down the line.

If you own any property assets, you have to be more careful.

We could do with some help from you.

Have looked in that library and started letter to them all today ,just going to do income and expenditure to get ready to go,going to contact them all first for dates of accounts.

 

All of your advice and help is appreciated and makes me feel I am not alone in this nightmare.

 

If I work out my own payment plan prorota and oc accepts can they later change their mind.

 

I know some just offer token £1 payment to each creditor but is it OK to offer more.

very ok to offer more but KEEP IT LOW.

 

 

take control of your money DONT let them dictate

they either accept you offer

or they get £1PCM till you die

 

 

take control, DICTATE to them.

 

 

if any income is paid into a bank account [or other member account of the same group]

get it out of their hands them they cant offset.

 

 

go open a parachute account

Read that as a guide. Its pretty much foolproof3

 

you fill it in. You keep the full copy, you give the budget summary to your creditors.
