French Loan
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.0 -
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
