robinson way

hi all just a quick ?. Got called by this company a few nights ago asking if i had received a letter from them which i hadnt, so they promptly apologised and hung up. today received a letter from them saying they are now collecting on behalf of halifax and to contact them on arranging a payment plan after saying pay the full amount blah de blah. I am on a dmp with cccs and i have emailed them today to send this company my offer etc. My question is i want them to know that this is what i have done but dont want to speak to them. is it safe to emailthem ,they have gave me an email address or should i ignore them and let cccs send out the info i just dont want hounded with calls.
thanks

  • If it were me, I'd let the CCCS deal with it and not make any contact with the collection company at all. However, that's just what I would do, not what you *should* do.

    Sorry, that was no help at all, was it?

  • Just a quick bit of extra info on this company - with whom I'm having a nightmare of time. If you wish, you can view the history of my dealings with them on this thread : https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3586363

    I am also on a DMP (via Payplan in my case), I explained the situation to Payplan and they advised me to contact the company directly (although of course this may be different in your case). There was a little bit of confusion when my debt was moved from the original creditor to RWL - although in the end the matter was transfered onto my DMP, and payments have been made and accepted since.

    The one piece of advice I would offer is that (even more so than usual), keep all paperwork and ensure _all_ communication is done in writing.

    I've noticed a fair number of quite specific complaints about Robinson Way (formerly London Scottish) - on this and various other debt forums, so I figure forewarned is forearmed.

    Regards,
    Ryan
