    Have read of the accepting as low as 20% on a 6000 debt, I wonder does it matter on the total amount they are writing off rather than looking at the percentage

    It depends on numerous factors :


    The DCA involved, some more amenable than others,


    If there are paperwork/enforceability issues,


    Age and amount of debt,


    Your personal circumstances,


    If the DCA involved has had a profitable month or not,


    If the bloke/lady making decisions that morning, had a row with there partner before coming to work,


    There are endless factors involved, general advise is to start low, and work up.

    My A and L credit card that went to MBNA has no credit agreement to be seen. Not even a badly reconstituted one.

    Couple of years earlier than yours. Worth asking for though.

    Yes, re-constituted will be acceptable, no signature required either, but they still need to send you something that resembles a credit agreement.
