Loan

Options
Hi,

This is my first post, so hopeing some one can help me.

Basically long story short i have had a loan since 2006 and the bank have only just informed me that i have £100 worth of charges dating from 2006/7 which as soon as i found out i phoned the bank to advise that i can pay £10 extra per month which i have done last month and intend on doing at the end of this month but today i received a letter from the bank to advise they are sending a rep to my house. So my question is, can i just tell them that i am paying what i agreed so what do they hope to acheive from sending some one out?

Thank you in advance sorry for the life story

Cheryl

    Hi Cheryl and welcome to the forums.

    I would write back to tell them you do not want anyone to visit your house (I assume that you don't!). Here is a letter you can uses as a template http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=23624477&postcount=4
    You might want to put in the letter that you have agreed a repayment plan and will continue to pay the additional amount of £10 each month - and then put in the legal blurb from the link above.
    After they have received that letter they are legally not entitled to visit you.
    A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give
    or "It costs nowt to be nice"
