Experiences of Barclays overdraft on a DMP please

houseiseverything

Does anyone have any experience with the Barclays collection department?
They are insisting that my partner puts a voluntary charging order on our house before they accept the DMP. We don't want to do that, but they have said that they will take him to court for a charging order if he doesn't agree. They have said that they will put it in writing that they will not force a sale. When he said that the other creditors had frozen interest they seemed incredulous, and said that they had never heard of this!
This was a business overdraft that my partner guarenteed personally, has anyone else put a debt like this on a DMP?
He is speaking to Payplan next week, but we would really like to know what other people have experienced when dealing with Barclays. Thanks, I am tearing my hair out.

I would suggest he does not agree to voluntary charging order - I cannot see any benefit of him doing so.

Remember whilst they may take him to court to ATTEMPT to obtain a charging order on his property - that does not mean that the court will necessarily agree to one.

It sounds like this is a vebal conversation with Barclays - if it is I would strongly suggest that he ceases all phone calls etc and only communicates in writing.
