    who said the agreement is enforceable?

     

    timeframe to have to pay them??...what timeframe and what rule states you HAVE to pay them because of anytime frame?

     

    once a debt is defaulted by the original creditor it makes no diff at all to your credit score upon how quick , if or if not , you pay a debt off.

    the debt is defaulted..end of. same damage

     

    By time frame I mean so I don't get defaulted.

     

    So what are you saying ultimately is once a debt is defaulted even paying a bare minimum is acceptable as nothing will change the current status

     

  2. With regards to offering companies these.

     

    Can I ask though is full and final a good way to deal with your debt outstanding.

     

    An example.

     

    I owe DCA united  £100

    I offer a settlement figure of £46

    They accept the offer.

     

    Does it help your credit report/score or not?

    Or can you ask that the creditor mark the payment as settled or satisfied whatever the terminology is..

     

    I ask as I've read a few threads with people and there success, beyond a positive mindset what are the benefits of making a larger payment rather than just clearing it off gradually?

     

     

     

     

     

  3. Thanks for all the replies.

     

    After talking to Northampton it seems it was payment assist.

     

    The original payment left was £88 the rest is literally fees 

     

    The situation is now I will clear the balance and payment assist will send me confirmation of payment and will inform the court it's paid

     

    Lesson here is always update your address as it's highly likely I would of fought this claim.

     

    Due to me being non responsive it went into default judgement which was the ccj.

     

    I'll not make this mistake again anytime soon

     

    Thanks for your help!

  4. Well the claim has been issued. Won't the court at least be able to tell me who to pay etc and specifics...that and well rather no bailiffs knocking

     

    A month from now isn't long, if payment assist got that crap through the court then contesting it is meaningless. Just rather not have my file damaged by £294 for the amount and the time it's taken trying to keep it sound it's not worth it. 

     

     

  5. Morning.

    I've just checked my credit score to find a ccj has been entered through Northampton county court business centre.

    Logged apparently at my old address for which I've not lived since last December

     

    Seems it's gone through to conclusion so can't respond etc.

    More than likely payment assist who I posted a while back and their outrageous fees.

     

    So I have mailed Northampton county court for information.

     

    Unique situation

    how do I proceed exactly.

    Obviously if it's paid within one month it'll be cleared

    but ideally I need documentation etc

     

    Currently the balance stands at £294 apparently.

     

    Can anyone confirm if this is paid one month from now which is the 6th of December and proof sent to the court it'll be removed?

     

    Does the court send this info promptly or does it take an age to get information from them?

     

     

    Ash

     

     

     

  6. Wasn't quite sure where to plant this!

     

     few months ago I missed a payment to payment assist.

    I emailed the other day to confirm I will make the payment at the end of September.

    I am however refusing to pay the extra charges they have added.

     

    Now do not get me wrong maybe a £20 penalty I understand but these..

     

    The original missed payment is 88.31

     

    These other charges I have said you are more than welcome to take me to court.

     

    Below are the "extras" they would like to add.

     

    Can I just ask if anyone thinks a letter is worth £40!

     

    Just to add, the initial email I had was saying the potential of ccjs etc and my name being sent to publications regarding the court action which over 88.31 I thought a bit over the top to threaten in an email

     

     

     

    Missed payment fee - £40.00

    Letter Fee - £60.00

    Chargeback fee - £56.00

    Admin Fee - £25.00

    Interest £22.32

     

     

     

     

     

  7. Morning

     

    I've recieved a letter from Lowell regarding an apparent £151 debt from sky

     

    Which is weird as I have sky currently all paid etc

    Had sky back along, all paid etc.

     

    Anyway Im not asking Lowell straight away so asked sky for details of the debt to which I was told it's a debt sale which they can not respond to.

     

    So am I able to subject access request sky?? Or is that not possible

     

  8. Hi

     

    Currently with advantage finance. I pay £133 monthly.

    If I wanted to start paying more off monthly but by choice not part of concrete agreement.

    Will it incur any charges or problems etc

    is there any loopholes they can use to charge me more for doing so?

     

    So I've an outstanding balance of xxxx amount.

    The £133 is reducing.

    I want to start clearing it off when I can afford to.

    That's ok?

     

     

    Thanks in advance
