credit clean up

I am in the process of cleaning up my credit record post discharge, and am planning on using the template letter to the data controllers of my creditors. I have several accounts with the one creditor and was wondering if I can send these together in one recorded delivery envelope or should I send them individually. Thanks in advance.

    You can do one letter listing all the accounts with that creditor. :)

    That is what I did. 3 or 4 on one letter for that creditor. Then separate ones for the rest as only had one account each with those.

    I'm trying to clean up post bankruptcy.

    I have sent the letters out recorded delivery and have noticed that some have been marked as closed and the balance changed to zero however some are marked as closed but still showing the balance.

    I am struggling with Halifax and Barclaycard though I have still haven't had any feedback from them or my credit file changed.

    I sent the letters in October.
