Advice with Tesco debt

Hi all some quick advice needed please. I used to have debts of over 35000 but after selling my share in a house paid off all but 12000. I paid off 1 creditor in full as they were being the most unhelpful.

After this I had 8000 left with Tesco and was able to restart paying the loan back at the normal monthly payments of £142 per month. I had missed 3 months payuments when I was having the most trouble so not a massive amount of missed payments. I yesterday received a letter from them asking me to resubmit my SOA to show that this was still an appropriate repayment plan for the loan. I have sent this yesterday.

I phoned them and they said because of the 3 months missed payments the loan was passed to a different department to sort out but he seemed happy that as I had made loads of monthly payments without a problem since the 3 months I should be able to carry on paying the £142 a month.

Do people think ill have a problem with them as I like to have peace of mind. I only missed 3 months payments and the amount im paying is the agreed amount as of the start of the loan.

Many thanks in advance.

  • The missed payments will be on your credit file for a while and may effect your ability to gain credit in the future. However for peace of mind I would be asking for a letter of somesort to declare you are all up to date, if your not then perhaps you could overpay a bit to get back to where you should be, perhaps its still in collections ?
