Hi everyone , I have a problem , I had an issue with a loan from Barclays , 5 figure sum , I missed a few of the agreed repayments and the debt has now been passed to BCW , of whom I know nothing about . I have received numerous calls which I have not answered and also numerous txt messages . I have emailed them with the same repayment offer I had with Barclays but have had no reply . I have had a bad year , divorce , ill health etc , although I know this is no excuse , but things got on top and I just didn't pay Barclays . Im not sure what to do ? can anyone advise please ? many thanks .

You don't have to deal with BCW, they're acting under an agent assignment and do not hold any rights or duties to the debt. Request to deal with Barclays only (send Barclays an income and expenditure sheet, with your proposals for payment which you can afford and can maintain).

 

BCW can do nothing except send you stupid template letters threatening to walk away with your door step. Ignore them and deal directly with Barclays.

What does the letter from Barclays actually say.

 

BCW do buy debt portfolios so they could now be the owner of the debt.

 

Your credit file may also help identify who owns the debt.

 

Is there any PPI on the account that you could reclaim?

 

Are there any unlawful penalty charges on the account which you could reclaim?

Was a letter also included from BCW stating that they now own the debt?

 

If not you should receive one soon but mainly they come in the same envelope.

 

As advised above, you need to check your credit file to now see who fully owns this debt.

 

Also, do not speak to BCW on the telephone, keep everything in writing.

NEVER be worried over a DCA, they ARE NOT Bailiffs !!!!

 

You are offering payment, do not be pressured into making anything other than you can comfortably afford, pay only via standing order so you are in control, never give out your card number or set up a direct debit as your account can be emptied pretty quickly.

 

Keep a full record of everything.

Hi , should I just wait for there email reply ? I feel I wont get one ! seems as though they just want verbal recorded ?

 

Has your email got a delivered facility so you know for sure it has been received and read?

 

If not, write to them once again telling them that you are going to pay xx.xx amount every calender month, can they please send you their standing order details so you can set this up, make sure that you never set up a direct debit facility or via card as this gives them control to empty your account at their own free will mainly through a computer error but they will not refund and do not care if you starve or go with no electric or gas over Christmas or New Year.

 

Before doing this, you do need to check your credit files to make sure that BCW are the full owners of the account.

To check your credit files, the two main ones are Experian and Equifax, they both offer 30 calender days free trial but remember to cancel beforehand or else your card will be debited up to £14.99.

You can also do this via post, download the application forms off of their websites, print off fill out and include either a £2 cheque or postal order and you will receive your credit file in paper format via post.

should I just start making payments ?

 

I should hold off until you know full well that BCW are the new owners and have the full legal rights to the debt has well has any money that you are willing to pay.

Your credit file will be updated with the new owners name if it has been sold on by Barclays and bought by BCW.

Thanks very much , I will look into it , do you think its worth even trying to contact Barclays ?

 

No reason why not, at least they can confirm that the debt has been sold.

 

Barclay's may not be able to tell you who they sold it to but at least you know the status.

do I have to give them this information ?

 

Hi,

No you do not have to supply your personal financial details, the only person who can do this is a Judge.

All BCW will do with the information is manipulate the figures to exert pressure on you to pay more than you can afford.

Ill reply by email and stand my ground then I think ?

 

Deffo stand your ground on it, email back saying you can afford the offer of xx.xx and this still stands.

The income and expenditure as well as all of your financial details are private and will remain so.

Are there any unlawful penalty charges on the account which you could reclaim?

 

Notsure, IMS21 posted this in post #4 that you either missed or forgot to reply to.

This could reduce the debt significantly and also because the debt is now sold, any reclaim now comes to you directly.
