Hi there, I am new to this so go easy on me please I hope I have posted this in the right forum.

 

I have got myself into a right pickle with debt.

I am on benefits and am seriously getting close to the line of going completely and utterly doolally with the stress of the constant letters and phone calls.

 

I am really not well mentally and this is just the thing that is going to push me over the edge, as the letters coming are increasingly threatening, and I am really scared.

 

I am willing to give details but I just dont know where to start or what to do, I am living hand to mouth as it is.

 

Hope someone can advise. Hoping this might be the first step to ending the harrassment so I can concentrate on getting better.

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

The harassment is easily to handle...simply file the letters in folders corresponding to each account and dont answer your phone...set it to answerphone they always hang up ..if the call is important the caller will leave a message......DCAs wont in case you store and collate the calls and use it against them as harassment.

We could do with some help from you.

Jesus!!! IRL screaming out here!!!

 

Vodafone debts, have you demanded to know how they arrived at those figures? Bet they've added the entire months you haven't used to the total owing=unenforceable.

 

Halifax, have you reclaimed THEIR charges?

 

EON, set up a payment plan with EON, NOT their childish DCA...

 

If any of the DCA's ring you, laugh and hang up, never EVER discuss ANYTHING with powerless DCA's over the phone.

 

Who? Is chasing you for which debt please?

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

No i have stopped paying EVERYTHING it was crippling me.

 

I receive Job seekers allowance £142 a fortnight which has deductions of £15 a fortnight leaving me with £127 and I have to pay my rent service charge of £27 a fortnight. So i live on £100 a fortnight. There really is little if anything spare for debts :(

Yeah well, mark it as junk, and bounce them back.

 

Any silly messages the little children send 'forward' them to 7726 (SPAM on your phone keypad)

 

Any clueless beggar knocking your door asking for handouts, tell them to leave, pronto, or plod will be called.

Debts (Recent From August 2017)

 

Debts Pre August 2017

 

EON Electric : £100 With DCA

 

Hello eastlad1987 and sorry for the late reply. Only just spotted your post.

 

Have we actually assigned this debt to a DCA? If we have, a payment arrangement can now only be set up with the DCA concerned. We can take payment in full but, given your posts, this doesn't seem possible. Sorry I can't offer anything more positive on this particular point but there might be other ways we can help.

 

Talk to us about the E.ON Energy Fund. This has been set up to help vulnerable customers with current or final E.ON energy bill arrears. There's more information about this on our website at the following link including how to apply and what you need to be eligible.

 

https://www.eonenergy.com/for-your-home/saving-energy/need-little-extra-help/energy-fund

 

Going forward, are you still our customer? If you are, you might be eligible to receive Warm Home Discount. This is a payment of £140 towards winter bills. The 2017/18 scheme is now closed but this could be useful for 2018/19. Again, there are more details on our website including a page to register an interest. Please see below.

 

https://www.eonenergy.com/for-your-home/saving-energy/need-little-extra-help/warm-home-discount

 

On the same page there are details of help with energy saving stuff like loft and cavity wall insulation. This is through the Energy Company Obligation (ECO). Not of immediate help, I know, but might be useful for the future.

 

Have you thought about prepayment meters? These let you buy energy in advance from various retail outlets. They also let us put any outstanding debt on the meter to collect at an agreed weekly rate. Prices for prepayment tariffs will, though, be higher than most of our fixed deals and there won't be lower daily standing charges for paying with a Monthly Direct Debit

 

Hope this gives you a few pointers to help deal with your E.ON debt eastlad1987.

This is why 'customer service' isn't a dirty word.

 

If corporations don't want to collect money they're owed and farm it out to powerless debt collection agencies, then don't be surprised when you get an even worse rep than you command already and your profit stream dries up.

 

DO NOT pay a DCA.!

 

As for installing a pre payment meter!!!

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!
