Secured loan company...HELP!!!!

Hi all,

I have not yet gone br, my house is due to be repo the beg of Nov and we have a secured loan attached to it, I know this can't be included in the br until the house is sold but the secured loan comp have been sending out someone from a counselling service to try and sort out the arrears!! They have now appeared at my new address twice this week, I have not spoken to them yet, the question is should I?

I want them to stop coming to my property, is there something that I can do about it? Im scared to answer the door when it goes now incase it is them, he even knocked on my neighbours door yesterday asking for me by my first name as if he was a friend!!

I would really appreciate some advice xxx

    They have no rights to come to your house. They are not court appointed bailiffs and have as much rights as the paper boy. If you answer the door just say you are in consultation with CCCS/CAB/NDL and will be in touch with the company soon.

    Also write to the Secured Loan co. and state that you do not wish them to ring you or have their representitives call on you. That all corespondance should be in writing. Also that you are talking to CCCS/CAB/NDL about your situation and someone will be in touch shortly.

    Send it recorded so you can prove they recieved it.

  • Thanks tigerfeet, what bothered me the most was the fact he knocked on my neighbours door!! These people really don't give a monkeys but next time he comes I will be prepared and will write to the company asap, its hard enough going through all this on my own without the stress of worrying when they are going to turn up next.
