Hi Consumer Action Group. 

I've been following this forum for years, but have only signed up today.


I took out a £5K loan with the Enterprise Fund to start a business in 2013. 

The business failed. 

 

I initially put the debt into a debt management plan, then stopped paying into it in 2017.  

Recently, a debt collection agency called Vilcollections wrote to me, saying I have 14 days to pay the debt. 

Worried that this could lead to a CCJ (I think their 14 day warning letter is a legal prerequisite to a CCJ)

I wrote back and requested the credit agreement within two weeks. 

Around five weeks later, they replied with the legit credit agreement.

I was thinking to offer a full and final settlement at 20% of the price. 

What does everyone else here think? 

Is the debt enforceable? 

Thanks for all the great information on this forum so far. 

 

All the contributors here have helped me a great deal. 

I am grateful to you all.

Also, even if it is 'enforceable' that doesn't mean they will attempt to enforce it.

ask yourself who actually owns the debt? did you ever get a letter of assignment for it and have you being getting regular annual statements from anyone.

You can bet that their is somehting wrong with this and if they have purchased the debt they wont have paid more than 10% of the book value so will double their money even if you pay the reduced amount.

 

they have a snazzy web site telling peopel how legit they are but currently they are trading unlawfully as they are a dormant co and have been for 2 years at least.

you cnat owe them £5k because they only have assets of £100.

If they write again tell them that they arent legally trading and according to their own accounts arent owed any money

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

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...
