  • Have you asked them to provide you with the details of the contract that enables them to charge these fees? If you ask them to provide details of them, you may be able to argue that some are not valid and should be removed. Others, you may be stuck with.

    If you have a sum available to settle the debt, you could ask if they would be willing to write off some of the fees in exchange for immediate settlement.

    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
