French Loan

2»

Comments

  • I have not paid it because I have no recollection of it.
    French law is quite strict about debt ie if you bounce a cheque it is a serious matter so i can not for the life of me think how I have taken this loan out as they say and not paid it back.
    I have been fortunate enough to never have been in debt before (apart from my mortgage) and this is really worrying me, especially since they are now phoning and demanding I pay it back immediately.
  • Does sound a tad suspicious to me ...

    Personally i'd contact them and officially request a copy of the original credit agreement.

    Have a look here for template letters http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=963087&highlight=credit+agreement+request

    Obviously alter the relevant details accordingly, and send via signed for delivery. This should help you get to the bottom of it.

    Hope this helps ;)

  • There must be an embassy or a consulate that you can phone. They will be able to tell you the law regading this.

    It is not illegal to open another persons mail unless you intend to commit fraud - this is frequently incorrectly posted:)
    I live in my head - I find it's safer there:p
