    Hi

    I was in a similar situation at the start of the year, and I cleared all of my debts 90% of them as full and final settlements. I was advised that as long as you have the proof of full and final settlement, ie your letter. Your debt can no longer be persued.

    With regard to the credit file, it will state that the account is now closed and that it was partially satisifed.

    Hope that helps.

    I hear where you are coming from. Without this forum, not sure where I'd be. Don't really want to think about it tbh. It's great just coming on here to have a rant sometimes.
