You should tell them to STUFF their £12 charges for late payment and there's no reason why you can't handle this debt yourself.

 

If you have many more debts and they are 'getting out of hand', then by all means seek advice from a recognised, free help organisation like CCCS or CAB (click here)

 

These late payment fees are well known to us here - they are a penalty charge and are unlawful (in our humble opinion!).

 

Part of our dedicated DEBT FORUM includes the following http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt/20758-creditors-dcas-letter-templates.html

 

There are sample letters to send to your creditors and spreadsheets to help you work out what you can afford to pay (and advice about which debts to prioritise).

 

Use those to generate a figure that you can consistently afford to pay and then try very hard to stick to the plan, otherwise the problems will only get worse.

 

Keep us updated about things and let us know what response you get etc.

 

Keep records of everything you send and every letter they send you and once you have paid back ONLY the money that you owe - minus any charges they impose - make it clear that all those charges will not be paid under any circumstances.

 

Enough to get your teeth into?

Send them a CCA request.

 

I was in the same situation. If you made an agreement to reduced payments, did they make you aware the also charge nearly £70 for this?????????? I bet not!

 

 

I cca'd them . they couldn't provide as I know I didn't sign one.

 

I deducted all the charges and interest .....sent them a cheque for the remaning advising full and final and no more Great Universal.
