UC is currently undergoing a rollout phase but may be delayed in some areas as they still havent rolled out the chinks in the process etc My understanding is that whether you will be penalised is based upon your circumstances. I would hazard a guess you would be okay - Do you work at the moment and have ESA topup etc? (Not too familiar with ESA but do know that some people do both)

Well done As Andyorch said - Please consider making a donation to the site!

I work in Telecoms and we have had numerous customers report this. Some say that they will have their "IP" suspended - While others say press 1 to speak to BT as there line is going to be cut off... Its good to ignore

This is a Pre Action Protocol letter for debt claim...

Woah Woah Woah Woah! Dont jump the gun... Post up the letter minus personal details and barcodes etc Tell us more about this debt Who? What? How Much? What Happened?

Yes it is legit I have had one too and put my claim though. Id go ahead. - Did it come from theteam@hq.wonga.com? If so - Its legit.

If its gone to Wescot - Its already defaulted... So unfortunately you wont beable to do that much...

Right - Thing is these DCAs chance themselves on the purchase of these debts. Some they win, some they dont. Intrum have been slapped around like a fish before for certain things that they did in the past. I speak from experience - These companies prey on your stress and vulnerabilities you found that out before you came here. Dont get me wrong, you may succeed - You may not - But you are in good hands here and CAG will try to assist where we can. Solicitors vary - I understand why you went to them. All you have to understand is that Intrum are not the same as other companies. They specialise in Debt and its all they know in reality...

Oh right... Even so - Wonder if they will have anything. So how did the Stat Demand come about? Was it served by a Process Server?

Do you have the Stat Demand Letter? 20 Years ago? Fat chance they will have an agreement for it! Yikes... Before 2k7 - Recon from my understanding is not valid. A Card that old would have numerous T&C changes made to it which they would have to supply as part of their case.

And still not sure what to do? What did they send you? Can you scan it up minus personal info? That means names and barcodes / Account refs etc

Go here - This should help It will point you in the right direction. So this is the first time its been "Sold" and no administered by an agency.

Who were the previous 3 if you can remember?

You can get a DMP Its informal and also doesnt show up on your Credit Files per se. This will be a defaulted account so will be shown on your CRA anyway. Lets deal with this Stat Demand for you...

That was quick for it to get to a SD - Also as well has there been any other activity from IJ such as a Court Claim...
