  1. Do I need to worry about the CCJ's? They can insist I pay them can't they? Also the DWP can't be ignored can it? When you say we will deal with each debt on a individual basis what do you mean exactly? And just to be clear, I shouldn't start a new DMP yet??? This is very nice of you to help me like this. I do feel a bit nervous about it all, you can see why I would want to hand it over to a solicitor!
  2. This is the problem. I can't remember what half of them were for. I do have a mountain of papers which I will need to search through but I don't think I have records for all of them. I guess I could call the companies to find out? Why do you need this information?
  3. Trying to upload a Word document with my list. Not working. Any tips? Oh well. Cant get the file to attach so here we go. Warts and all. Mostly I can't even remember what company they were with in the first place. I was robbing Peter to pay Paul. Can't believe what I did. Total Payments paid to DMP £5,914.20 Charges paid £2,038.40 Outstanding amount £16,137.22 1st Credit 861.15 27/7 Moneybox 577.55 Arvato Financial Solutions Ltd 653.67 Cabot Financial Europe 1047.52 Capital Finance One Lending Ltd 1082.61 Capital Resolve Ltd 739.19 Capital Resolve Ltd 484.87 Debt Managers (Services Ltd) 253.40 Department for Work and Pensions 345.77 Instant Cash Loans 122.70 La Redoute 656.33 Lending Stream LLC 507.74 London Mutal 560.79 Lowell Financial Ltd 469.80 Lowell Financial Ltd 1153.29 Moorcroft Debt Recovery 263.60 Motormile Finance UK Ltd 176.38 Motormile Finance UK Ltd 267.02 MYJAR Ltd 160.89 OAKHAM Ltd 305.58 Past Due Credit Solutions 209.85 PRA Group (UK) Limited 170.89 PRA Group (UK) Limited 280.43 Welcome Financial Services Ltd 4314.45 Arvato Financial Solutions Ltd 534.17 3 of these are CCJ’s although only 2 show on my Noddle account. Dates are 28/12/12 and 11/7/11. Both still on my file.
  4. Thank you Site team! The DMP is cancelled already as they have stopped doing DMPs now. I did NOT sign up for the Solicitor deal. So looks like what I need to know then is how exactly I go about checking if my debts are enforceable and then deal with what I still owe after that with a free DMP? I will list my debts tomorrow. Its gonna be embarrassing... One last question.... .I am moving in with someone who has a good credit rating. I am obviously going to have to change my address with all my creditors. Is this going drag down their credit rating too? Mine has been improving slowly but still in the "poor" section on Noddle!
  5. Their pitch is that they are "World class" solicitors (I wouldn't be in a DMP for the year) who would work on my behalf to write off a load of debt after which I could go back to a regular DMP for whatever is remaining and pay it all off a lot quicker. I don't think any of the free DMP companies would do that? I had no idea this all this was even possible until today but it seems that they saying that everyone is doing it? Has anyone else had any experience of it? I know rengadeimp, it all sounds wrong to me. It's like playing the lottery too I guess? They might not write any off and then I'm just paying them for nothing? Trouble is I don't understand all the jargon on here about how to negotiate with creditors and it all seems so scary to have a ton of letters starting to arrive through the post again. I need to start reading up more about it all. Silverfox said " You could CCA each lender (more info in the library) but I'm not sure they will be much use in your case as it seems most (if not all) were taken out after 2007 when the rules changed". What rules changed then?? I am sure I do have a fair few debts from before 2007. Thanks everyone for your input, much appreciated! PS. Does everyone in this thread get an email when someone else posts?? Yes, I have been in the dark ages..................
  6. Hi and thank you Silverfox1961 Actually just been on the phone to Lawrence Charlton who have offered me a year long deal with Kingfisher solicitors at £150 a month. The hard selling guy on the phone said they have a success rate of around 80-90% of "significantly reducing or writing off debts". Sounds too good to be true but so tempting as I am working full time (and more) and studying on top for a Msc dissertation. I have so little time!! I have 19 creditors in all totaling £18.000. So even if they managed to reduce my debts by 10% over the year I haven't lost anything. As some (a lot) of them are old pay day companies that no longer exist and most have been bought by second parties it sound like I stand a good chance? I know they are preying on people just like me.........am I mad to be thinking about it?? Does anyone have experience of this?
  7. Thanks so much for your quick reply. Yes I learned my lesson! Unfortunately no assets. Living in rented accommodation (I would dearly love to buy a home but that has always been out of reach). I did think about bankruptcy before but got scared off. I think it was about the amount of time it would affect my credit rating. Mind you that is pretty bad already as I did get 2 CCJ's back in 2012 (but that means only 1-2 years more to go on my file?) What is a CCA request? (As I said totally new to this!) There were a lot of late payment charges back in the day but that all stopped when I went with the DMP. Not sure how I would find out what the charges were now as most have been sold on to other companies now, would they even know? I had 2 credit cards and 1 loan which yes, I probably did pay PPI on for a while. Any advice on how to do that myself would be gratefully received. If I started listing all my creditors it would take all day....I can start with the biggest ones though! Will do that tomorrow when I can get the details together. THANK YOU! Hi and thank you! I have the statements from the old DMP. No idea about the "pot" of cash but will call them. Boy was I mis-sold pay day loans!! I could certainly write a letter of complaint to the pay day companies but should I wait to see if the debts are "enforceable" first as BankFodder suggested? A couple of the companies already stopped accepting the monthly payments anyway, one seems to no longer exist. I did take one company CFO lending to the Ombudsman when I started the DMP because they wouldn't play and kept adding ludicrous charges. I won that one but as you say it took forever. Looks like I should start a DMP with Payplan in the mean time though just to keep things ticking over though and the wolves at bay...? In your experience do Payplan mind if I start challenging my creditors? Such an amazing site - thank you!
  8. Hi there. Total newbie here. Any advice greatly appreciated!! I got into debt a few years ago. Payday loans the lot (multiple - it's embarrassing. I was a young stupid single Mum). Now in a decent job with teenage kids. Went into a DMP with Debt-line who then were sold to Lawrence Charlton. Have been paying £130 a month dutifully since 2013. Although the charges went up significantly when Lawrence Charlton took over I felt safe so kept on with it and owe about £18k to my creditors now. Lawrence Charlton are stopping all DMPs and said I should transfer to Payplan. OK, except they are offering an alternative too; solicitor advice regarding writing off debts that have been bought by a second party (which is most of them) as they "may not be enforceable". hang on a minute, have I been paying companies which I didn't need to for years? Can't I sort this myself? Or Should I just be responsible and set up a DMP with Payplan instead?? SO confused!!
