My terms were...
Thier reply was, Upon reciept of the settlement figure your account will be closed, all collections activity ceased and your credit file updated accordingly...
Just checking, all seems ok to me- am I missing anything - I just know how dodgey these people can be and I dont want to sell myself down the river?

My advice is to make sure you keep a copy of the letter you sent them and their reply just in case!Debt-Free Wannabe / Long Haul Supporter 238 - Proud to be Dealing with my DebtsLBM Moment June 2010 DMP with CCCS Started August 2010Total Debt at LBM = £17,602.74 / Current Debt = £16,285.76 / Cleared = £1.316.98 (7.5%)0 -
Thank you, where it says updated according, this does mean they'll mark it as settled doesnt it? I just dont want to get caught out on technicality? lol0
-
Might mean they'll mark it as partially satisfied.A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0

What does partially satisfied mean? Is it rubbish on my credit report or??? I know what the actual words mean lol, I just am not sure what it means in terms of- trying to get my finances sorted you know?
Ps, thank you0 -
accoringly doesnt sound clear enough
also doesnt say that they wont sell the debt on0 -
It means other creditors/ potential lenders will see you didn't pay the full amount but came to an arrangement. But assuming this debt has a default marker then the partially satisfied marker will only remain on your file for the remainder of the 6years that the account will appear (6years from the original default). Its probably not likely to make your file look any worse than the default marker is currently doing (if that makes sense).A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0
