    Dear Sirs
    Account/Agreement Number

    I am currently experiencing financial difficulties due to (INSERT REASON) and am finding it increasingly difficult to meet my contractual payments.
    I am trying to resolve my situation and will contact you very shortly to give you my revised financial statement, with the best payment offer I can give you. I would be extremely grateful if you could let me have the following details, in order for me to begin making my offers to my creditors.

    · Balance owing
    · Teams of repayment and interest/penalties accruing
    · Type of agreement
    · Arrears
    · Any insurance policies attached to the agreement

    I will write to you again as soon as I have received replies from all of my creditors.


    Yours faithfully

    This is what I wrote to my creditors. Most have been extremely helpful with getting the right information back to me. One in particular, now had my correct home address and sent not only a baillift but also a CCJ! Nice one Havering Council - all for a little library fine!

    Dear Sirs,
    Account/Agreement Number

    You will be aware from my previous letter that I have been experiencing financial difficulties.

    I enclose a copy of my current financial statement. I have also enclosed a schedule of all my non-priority debts and the proportionately calculated pro rata offer.

    I hope you can accept this offer of £…. Per month, and stop any further interest or charges accruing.


    Yours faithfully

    I then followed previous letter up with this one above and enclosed my SOA!
