Just helping out a friend (she's 75) with some debts. Managed to deal with all of the non priority ones, but the one I'm unsure about is 4 settees on finance from CLS. Monthly payments on them is about £180.

Would she be able to cancel the direct debit and just pay a lower amount to suit her each month? Never heard of settee's getting repo'd TBH.

Other thing to mention is the finance is with Creation - who look like they do loans, rather than HP? Just wondering if CSL put it through as a loan?

    They can take them back....eventually.

    If bailiffs are involved then they should be leaving one seat per occupant and not taking absolutely everything in settlement of the debt.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
  • But if it was put through as a loan, then there is nothing to repo really?
