Yeh, and agressive with it to :rolleyes:
Nevertheless, they should still act within the OFT Debt Collection Guidelines.
I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

we had a letter years ago from Eversheds..they wanted £3000 from the sale of husbands old house when he handed it back to bank. They contacted us 11yrs and 6mth after he handed it back,and they ahd 12 yrs to collect before being statute barred.:mad: .like idiots we responded,we should have waited it out for 6mths. They are solicitors,and they agreed to £1000 as we didnt have any money then..still dont now actually!
if they are after 7900,try offering 3000 ..thats if you can get that much though.TO FINISH LAST, FIRST YOU HAVE TO FINISH....0 -

This often happens whe 'Debt Collection' is a service offered by solicitors - they appear to think that, somehow, the term 'solicitor' sets them apart from, and free from the obligations of, the run of the mill dca. :mad: :mad:
Perhaps it could be worth seeing what the Law Society has to say on this one?

HI
Just bumping as I don't know what to advise.
If you are thinking of going on DMP have you contacted one of the debt charities - CCCS is highly thought of on this site. They may also be able to help you with this.
Good luck
