How do I get a creditor to A) stop reporting defaults and B) stop them selling on the "debt"?
I was discharged from bankruptcy in March this year and things have been good 😊 HOWEVER one creditor in particular is starting to get on my nerves! I have spoken to this company on several occasions, as I keep getting demand letters from them and they keep reporting missed payments, despite being the main creditor on my…

I've been prioritising paying my minimum monthly credit card payments as they have been my fall back safety net as I am self employed, and as such I haven't defaulted on these payments. But I have been getting deeper and deeper in debt on my cards as I use…

£2 million in equity but no money
My house is on the market for the past 9 months and I had a few very low offers. I consulted five agents in the area and all agree that the price is attractive.

Hi, I applied for bankruptcy in March. I have 4 children and an income of £18,005 working as a HCA in the NHS.

I know everyone says it, but it wasn't a fraction as scary as I thought it would be. The first few weeks were confusing and nerve-wracking,…

Bankruptcy- Newbie
Hi, I've read through pages of posts and apologise if I end up repeating what has already been asked.
