  1. Thanks both, Yes as soon as i have the letter i will get them loaded on this post, Thanks
  2. Okay i just wanted to share a little success i have had in the last few weeks. I have had my credit card(opened 2006) in dispute with lloyds banking group for the past 18 months stopped paying 12 months ago due to the fact they could not provide me with a signed valid credit agreement. So last month i decided that i would ask if they would consider a full and final settlement for the debt as the account is still in dispute and that i wanted to put an end to this account once and for all. They sent me back saying only willing to accept 90% of the debt (£1980). So i left this and i decided to persue the fact the bank did not have a valid signed credit agreement, so i filled in their on-line complaints form and within 48 hours i get a phone call addressing the issues. The first thing the lady did for me was refund me £395 of unfair charges for when i informed them that i was in financial difficulty. The lady told me that the debt was in the process of being sold and the new company would write to me. Today out of the blue this same lady phoned me and informed me the debt would not be sold on(she never said it but she eluded to the fact we have no signed agreement) instead they have written the debt off and that they would send me a letter to confirm this within 5 working days and also she send me £60 compensation for the hassle. The amount will still show on my credit file but the bank or any other parties will not persue the debt. Success in removing a default... So after many searches on search engines about defaults on your credit file i came across a site that had a story about a man having his default removed because his lender could not provide the paperwork that they sent when issuing a default the strategy is really detailed and has had a lot of success. So my default for this particular account was for a bank account that went to a default because of it being £35 in un arranged overdraft and you can imagine the charges the bank whacked on. Any way so i sent the letter that was suggested back 3 weeks ago and on Friday i had a phone call from this bank and they informed me that the information that i requested could not be found in the archive and therefore the default will be removed and all negative markers from 2011 will be removed aswell. I have decided to share my story because i have seen so many posts where it is really black and white but my advice to anyone is read read read, knowledge is power. People may see this as avoiding the debt i owe and that is a normal opinion but the banks have a duty to follow the law and if they fail to keep the appropriate records/forms then we have the right to challenge the terms and conditions and the legality of any credit agreement. Thanks for reading
  3. Afternoon all My partner has a got a mortgage in her sole name, as my credit is very poor, After 5 years i will be put myself on the mortgage as soon as i got my credit score to a better standard My qurestions are: What things might link us financially? We are doing house insurance is that okay to put my name on as saying i live in the house or will that link us? I understand things like sky, virgin media, etc will link us financially Just dont want to get in a position where i effect her credit rating Thanks in advance Journey Man
  4. Evening all I thought i would post a new thread as i need as much accurate information as possible! Me and my girlfriend have decided to buy a house, I need some information as she has a great credit score and has been accepted in principal for a mortgage we need, I have a very bad credit score defaults etc... So how does this work so we can protect her great credit score: Am i right in saying as long as we dont no apply for something jointly we will not be connected financially? If this is correct how do we go about, Council tax etc Can i get my mail to my new address( My debts) Thanks in advance for your help Im on a journey!
  5. Hi all thanks for your input Nationwide has offered 55k Great news
  6. Hey thanks for your input, Ive checked a few sites and they say they could lend upto 62k depending on credit score so looking good at the moment but i think its just a matter of seeing what the advisors have to say tomorrow Im on a journey
  7. Hey thanks for your reply Its for tomorrow she has meeting at midday Cheers
  8. Hello all my partner is going to see a mortgage advisor intially to see how much she would be able to borrow on her salary alone. She has a deposit of 42k and the house she has seen is £99,995 So roughly needing 58k mortgage, The reason we cannot do a joing application is because my credit score is screwed due to a few defaults etc, all these debts are now fuly in control. The things i suppose i am woundering is? She has a great credit score and has a very good deposit will that help? She earns 14k a year so am i right in saying they lend 4 times your salary so it would be 56k Do banks follow this rule with no exception or do they have the abilty to increase due to circumstances? What type of mortgage is the best? Fixed or tracker? Sorry for all the questions but she is a bit nervous would like some back room info before going to the meeting Thanks in advance Im on a journey

  11. Quick question my mother had her purse stolen in our local retail park about 3 months ago, we have had some info on the case but what are the chances the retail park keeps recordings for 3 months plus, i know usually recordings are only kept for 1 month normally? Does anyone think recordings are kept 3 months plus?
  12. Hello the Snake firstly well done for actually wanting to change your ways, My situation is very similar i have a gambling problem and i am at the first stage of getting though my addiction, i am going to a GA meeting on Thursday my first one very nervous, With regards to your situation with your debts i would suggest the first thing to do is tell your family what is going on, i realise how much they have helped you out already but i think by telling them wont be half as bad as always worrying about your father opening a letter its not worth the stess and anxiety. Are you online now?
