Good afternoon everyone,

 

I have come here seeking advice to guide me for the future.

 

I've just, very recently, come to the decision that I want to save for a house.

 

I'm now saving, and hope to have enough money for a deposit in 6-8 years time.

 

However, my past haunts me, and I'm lost as to what the best options would be to go about accomplishing my dream.

 

I have obtained my credit rating from Experian, which at the present time is 712 (poor).

 

I have many defaults against my name. This was due to not being able to meet my financial obligations because of losing my job and illness (resulting in me not being able to secure a new job for a while).

 

I have an overview of my history, but I'm not allowed to insert an image, or post a link yet, which is unfortunate because I believe it would help no end.

I want to know if it's best for me to leave these be, or start paying them back????

 

I, foolishly, contacted 4 of them yesterday, via email, without seeking guidance first .... still yet to hear back from them.

 

I will be extremely greatful for any, and all, help that's offered.

 

Kind regards,

Matt.

Hi Matt, welcome to CAG,

 

To be able to advise fully on the CRA file, it would be helpful if you could just list the debts with the following details.

1. Name of the creditor ( OC) name of the DCA is involved.

2. The amount outstanding.

3. The Default date.

4.The date of the last payment and/or written acknowledgment of the debt.

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

(no DCA involved)

Lender/Type = Vodafone or Orange mobile contract

DCA involved = Capquest

I have 3 more reports, which are all "Satisfactory" with "£0 balance". These are my current accounts (with Nationwide & Lloyds) and a Virgin media contract (Land line, TV & internet) .... however I don't pay for the later.

 

I hope this helps,

Cheers,

Matt.

Hello Matt, have you been in touch with Lee?

For the others if you are not being pressed for payment leave alone for now.

Hey brig,

 

one quick question .... if I send off the CCA's will it not restart the whole "6 year" process again?

 

Thank you for your help again,

Cheers,

Matt.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

Dear Sir/Madam

 

 

 

Re:- Account/Reference Number 12345678

 

I do not acknowledge any debt with your Company or Associates

 

This letter is a formal request pursuant to s.77/78 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. I require you to provide me with a true copy of the credit agreement relating to the above account, together with any other documentation the Act requires you to provide, including a detailed statement of the account.

 

 

 

I expect you to comply fully and properly with this request, within the statutory time limit. You are reminded that should you fail to comply with my request, the provisions of s.77 will apply.

 

 

 

If it is your view that you are not the creditor, s.175 of the CCA 1974 applies in the case of a simple assignment, and places a duty upon you to pass this request to the creditor. In the case of an absolute assignment, you are a creditor as defined by s.189. If you contend that you purchased the rights but not the duties of any agreement, you are reminded that s.189 of the Act is clear that an assignment is of both rights and duties.

 

 

 

Your attention is drawn to ss.5(2), 3(b),6 and 7 of the Consumer Protection From Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 (CPUTR).

 

 

 

I enclose a postal order in the sum of £1.00, which is the statutory fee. Note that these funds are not to be used for any other purpose.

 

 

 

If you are unable to comply fully and properly with this request, you should confirm this in writing at the earliest opportunity, and certainly within the statutory time limit for compliance, and return the fee.

 

 

 

We look forward to hearing from you.

 

 

 

Yours faithfully
