So had an email back from the debt collectors after I complained and apparently I got the letter as my payment plan failed! wtf?

They told me I had 90 days to pay it up which actually gives me until the end of March but no according to them its the 15th Feb! Ive sent them a cheque yesterday so not concerned by it, just annoyed really that they say one thing and then change it! No wonder people get in a mess and a tizz with it all! Will be glad to see the back of this one!

Not been on for a while but a quick update...

Had confirmation now from the 2 DCA's I have been dealing with that my accounts are now settled and closed! Phew! So even though I had kind of already ticked them off I know for certain that they done!

Husband has kind of hit his business idea on the head as he just don't have time for it. He dabbled with a few cars and has made enough money to buy his own car, which he has done and it is nice to have something that we actually own outright.

Nothing much else has happened in the way of money except for the lack of it! lol

On a positive we have enough money to pay all our regular household bills and food to keep us going.

On a bad note had an ebay invoice for £80! That was a shock as I hadn't realised we had sold so much stuff! lol

just good to have the confirmation and clear in your own mind regarding the DCAs

Great you're staying afloat
