I have a couple of "accounts" with Lowell (one for £507.43 and one for £512.56) which I was paying off at £10 per month per account (all I can afford) .

 

When I checked my credit file I noticed that the Defaults that I have for these debts will drop off my file in 2015,

whereas I'd still be paying them off 2 years after that.

 

last month, rightly or wrongly (probably wrongly :| ) I thought whats the point of paying them, as I have Defaults for them anyway so it can't really get worse.

 

I now have been getting threatening letters from Hamptons Legal which I assume is the same Company, and probably same Desk as Lowell lol

But they are threatening CCJ's etc

 

I was just wondering what I should do regarding this really?

 

Start paying again?

 

Ignore them?

 

The original accounts/debts were with Barclaycard and Orange and I know that probably half of the debt amount is made up of charges/interest

as I remember the credit limit on the Barclaycard was only £260 at the time, and now I owe £507.43 on that one.

 

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.. and feel free to tell me how stupid I am for stopping payments if you feel I am stupid lol

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

As you have been paying Lowell you have admitted liability for the debts.

As DX said try a CCA to |Lowell for both debts.

Any Letters I Draft are N0T approved by CAG and no personal liability is accepted.

What does a CCA do? Sorry, I'm not very clued up about this

 

A lawful request made under sections 77.&78 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974, reqiures the DCA/Creditor to supply within 12+2 Working days a copy of the regulated consumer credit agreement and any documents metioned in the agreement and a current statement of the account, there is a £1 statutory fee for this. The request should be addressed to the Compliance Manager at the head office of the DCA.

There is a template in the CAG library.

Hi SiBaY,

 

Make the CCA request as suggested - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?414-CCA-request-letter

 

If you have all your old a/c statements, use a site spreadsheet to list all the penalty charges. Use this one but change the APR to 24.9% - http://www.shweb.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/interestcalcs.xls

 

If you don't have all your old statements (or at least all of those where you think you may have paid penalty charges), you can apply for them using an SAR - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?552-Data-Protection

Hi, It has taken all this time to get a response from Barclaycard.. They have sent a "reconstituted copy" of my credit agreement (no signature on it) and it has my current address on the agreement, and not the one I was living at when I took out the card. Surely this isnt right?

I think I'm confusing myself now lol

Do I now need to write to them again saying that the copy of the credit agreement they have sent me is not valid? (or is it valid) I have defaults popping up from Lowell left right and centre and have never received one through the post in my life. Last month my credit file said 3 Defaulted accounts, now it says 6.. which I find very odd.

Hi, That is not a compliant Recon! It MUST contain the following data.

1. The name and address of the account holder at the inception of the agreement.

2. The name and address of the creditor at the inception of the agreement.

3 The Ts & Cs at the inception of the agreement.

4. Any Changes/amendments to the Ts & Cs during the life of the agreement.

5. The Ts & Cs as at the termination of the agreemen.

 

A signature is not required.

or if you have PDF as an installed printer drive use that

or use word and save as pdf
