Help Wanted - Natwest Collections

[mighty sword]

I need some urgent advice

 

I stupidly got involved with some payday loans / cheque writing i.e. Moneyshop, Poundstill Payday etc as I was helping a family member out, ironically, with debts from different kind of sharks.(human ones - gangs)

 

The upshot is that I went over and above my overdraft limit and more and more. I got a call from collections and I arranged a 6 month payment plan - which was all good. However my mind was in such a state during November / early December that I had forgotten a further two cheques. To my horror I saw them coming through today on my online account. I immediately called them to let them know and pleaded with them to allow me another payment plan. Unfortunately, this was not allowed. I now have 28 days in which to pay up the lot- £2,500 - otherwise my account is to be closed and a CCJ / Default notice against me

 

 

 

I called CCCS for some practical advice, and they advised me to walk away from Natwest. This is not an option.

 

I can't afford to go to another bank for a variety of reasons (mainly personal ). Let's just say that my marriage could be at stake if my account were to close.

 

CCCS said that there is the possibillty that I can try and negotiate again with collections - to pay the whole thing over 3 months (which I would just about do, using the majority of my wages)

 

I also have the offer of up to £1000 10 month loan from the Credit Union but unfortunately cannot find a suitable guarantor at present which is very frustrating for me, as this, coupled with my next month;s wages would just cover it.

 

Does anybody working at Natwest know whether this would be viable?? any constructive help / practical suggestions at all would be gratefully received

 

 

Here's hoping.

NatWest may already be sending the account to recovery so the account is likely to be closed. Unfortunately, I would say you should speak with your other half no matter how difficult the situation is and then deal with the consequences.

think you should just inform the missus and let it goto a CCJ. The CCJ will take about a month or so to be issused and then you'll have a month to pay it off(as payed within the month the CCJ will not be on your credit file) you'll probably have 2 months min i think...... important thing is the mortgage..make sure thats paid of monthly....sod the bleeding banks!
