until they were telling me who and giving a very good reason id certainly be saying no to this - 3rd party could mean the newspapers for all you know!

I for one cannot think of ANY third party that would need to be added to your affairs

i am of the same mind it seems to strange, they have put my account on hold for 28 days until i contact them think i may write back and say no way unless anyone has had similar issues that can advise , cheers

is it a form with space for you to fill out someone you want to give authorization to or is it just a general letter saying do you give us permission to speak with a third party?

if the first then is it possible that it has been requested by someone

if you are dealing with a DMC then you shouldnt have to do one of these as they will provide a LOA - has someone answered the phone and said you were in hospital or something like that, they may have sent it out in case someone else was dealing with your finances - sorry just thinking out type

if it is the second and there is not a specific third party then return then write a response advising that you do not give authority for them to discuss the account with anyone other than yourself

Ignore it completely, they may try and sell on your details to a claims management company or something of that nature, file it in the recycle bin

its more of a form just to talk to 3rd party, had no contact with these guys other than paying them so not like they are worried im not around lol but never spoke to them on the phone, im very curious as to who they want to discuss me with so may just post there form back with a big no on it and ask for more info i was with debt management but now self manage and i did inform them of this so it shouldnt be the dmp company...i really want to know now

Of course it's not going to be to discuss it with a newspaper!
I don't understand some people.

It's Normally to speak to a family member on your behalf or debt management company. Why not call them and find out?

Then you will have an instant answer and everyone can stop speculating.

If you don't like what they are saying, hang up!
