Wescot/Bryan Carter (Egg) - Help please

Nicandan

Hi i am hoping someone can help or at least point me in the right direction. Back in 2008-09 i went through a really difficult period, i was laid off work due to sickness and my relationship ended so with various bills an no income i found myself in a mess.

I contacted all my debtors to arrange a payment plan but Egg credit card weren't interested in letting me pay what i could afford, i managed to pay token amounts but then i couldn't keep up with this, they defaulted the account, then i didn't hear anything until i received a letter from Bryan Carter, they asked me to pay a chunk of the debt to stop it going to court, i wasn't in a position to do this so they sent the forms and i made an offer to pay of £20 month, being naive at this time i didn't actually realise the conseqence of what was about to happen, ie a CCJ being registered.....so annoying as i would have asked my parents for help had i known.

Anyway i have been paying £20 month since the CCJ was registered 22/7/09 until June this year, i rang BC to change the payment date an they informed me the debt was no longer with them and that i would hear from Westcot in due course.

No contact until 12.9.13 with the headline 'failure to make payment' saying despite their letter of 28th August i have failed to make a payment or enter into an agreed plan, unless i contact them urgently to make a payment or to establish a regular repayment plan they will have no option but to recover the debt, this will be either: Legal action through the court and judgement obtained against me (haven't they already done this)? Refer the debt to a door stop collections agency.

So what i want to know is it worth me asking for a full statement of the account before it was taken to court, after reading these forums i am sure there will be charges that were applied that i could possibly claim back!? What will happen in 2 years (when the CCJ falls off credit report) i am sure unless i find myself with a windfall i will still be paying this debt, i don't have a problem paying what i owe when they are genuine charges.

I also have 2 other debts that are still not resolved that are with HSBC so hoping some kind person may advise me on these also.

Thank you for taking the time to read, any constructive advice is very welcome
