Out of the blue BOS pt 2

I have had a £8000 debt on repayment plan for four years. Paid off 25% of it, never missed a payment. Then today "Rockwell debt collection agency" try to get payment in full. Not interested in negotiating increased monthly payments at all, but very quick of the mark to offer a significant discount for the settlement. What is going on???

  • hhhhhhhmmmmmm...........sounds a bit suspect to me......could the DCA have sold it on? Or are Rockwell some nasty fly by nights hoping to get money from whoever they can and disappear?

    Did they ask you for settlement in full, too? And how much are you repaying per month?

    Thanks
