  • that's a long time! Have they froze interest on account?

    This is the first month I have missed a payment to cahoot, monthly payment is £220... total debt to cahoot £11000, so can't pay that off!!

    How long did it take Barclay to agree to £1, I've an account with them too

    have you thought of doing an IVA??

    most people agree fairly quickly as long as you are honest with them and send them a budget asap.

    if you have any savings or can get a few thousand - you may be able to offer them a lump sum - i found this very interesting (http://www.nationaldebtline.co.uk/england_wales/factsheet.php?page=24_full_and_final_settlement_offers)

    the trouble is - i went through a debt management company - who ripped me of - before i went to the actual banks. so i already had recieved a load of letters and default notices before i took control of it (well as much as i can do)
  • I'm not sure what an IVA is? and do you lose everything, house, car, etc?

    Its good now that you are taking control....... :)

    Yeah, I'm being totally honest with companies have all my letters ready for the post tomorrow.
    All going to plan I'll be debt free March 2010....3 years and counting... :T

    Ok, I now know what an IVA is, and don't think its for me, cos I've no money to pay debts :(
