I've just done a quick sum.

£9,000, repayed at £1 a month, would take 750 years to clear. :rotfl:

Its a normal DCA scare letter. Its worded in such a way that you react pretty much as you have, where you have come on here, many others run off and borrow or up there repayment.

And a few people panic so much that they kill themselves.

In my opinion, any case of suicide where a DCA has been involved should be treated as a case of corporate homicide.
