  1. So, I offered £150 and they say that they will only accept £370 ish.

     

    I really need some advice to let me know if they are acting lawfully.

     

    you have not indicated to me where I stand with these guys.

     

    Can I keep refusing, is the debt lawful.

     

    Do I have a leg to stand on when refusing.

     

    I really need to know where I stand.

     

    Can you let me know or can you tell me where to look please.

     

    So far I am confused with what you have told me. I do appreciate you answering.

     

    Just to let you know they phoned again today and spoke with my wife they were being nice and taking the softly softly approach.

     

    Kind Regards

  2. Hi, I had a joint current account with my wife. We had it as a separate account from our main one with another bank. we did not have much in it and rarely used it. I used the card from it from time to time to make online purchases. Unfortunately I forgot how much was in and it went od. I found this out a few weeks later after i got a letter informing me of the situation. I phoned them up to see how I could have got and OD as I never signed up or asked for one at the time. In the meantime they kept applying charges.

     

    This was in dec 2007 and they did send letters from time to time and also call me but I always said on the phone that i was not prepared to pay the charges as I did not sign up for an OD. They calls continued and I still offered to pay for the spending not the charges. All went quiet for a couple of years or so. Then I started to be contacted by 1st credit. They have tried all ways to get me to pay and they now phone me almost daily and text me. They also ask for my wife again phoning the house and mobiles daily.

     

    I have asked on several occasions for proof that I signed up to an unauthorised OD which I believe is the CCA original agreement. when I first asked for this they went away to get it and never sent it. This went on for months. They then sent me a statement from the bank account saying that they did not need to do anything else. They are now threatining me with a visit from one of their representatives.

     

    Please can anyone help? I have made them an offer of £150 to clear it as I do not dispute owing the money I went over by. I spent that it was my mistake. However I do not want to pay the charges as I believe I am in the right. The debt is almost £500 they offered me to settle at £360. I refused.

     

    Sorry for the long post, any help is appreciated.

  3. I spoke to the bailiff on his mobile today. I explained that I agreed that there was a ticket to pay for but I was not going to pay anything until I had recieved in writing a breakdown of the costs as it was now at 363 pounds. He said I can tell you them now its 11.75 for a letter 68 pounds for something else and 175 for a visit he has not yet made but it was automatically added to the account anyway. I again said that I would need to see these in writing, He said this would not stop the process and that he still had the right to enter my house to collect goods or seize the car. That he could do this at anytime. I asked him how and he said he held a warrant that was raised by the council. I then stopped speaking to him but did not get angry with him. I rang the man in charge of these things at the council. Left a voicemail and will try him again tomorrow.

     

    Where do I go from here?

  4. This is the first time they have called. Its to collect an unpaid parking fine from my local council. Its now a total of £363. Apparently I have to pay all or they collect my goods. What rights do I have. Are the charges fair. Can I arrange a patment plan. Can I request a breakdown of the charges and challenge them. If you could help I would appreciate it.
