Calling Richard!!

Hi Richard I noticed on one of your replys that you managed to negotiate a deal with your creditors for 25p in the £ before going BR. I owe Nat West and Barclays approx £100K (I know I know my own fault!) and wondered if you or anybody else had any experience of dealing with these particular banks and if this sort of deal is possible on a full and final settlement?

Any help greatly appreciated

Regards

    Hi, As already stated it depends on many factors included what type of debt you have (secured/Unsecured) and if you have already defualted on the account/s

    If you have managed to make minimum payments to the creditors they are unlikey to accept offers of full and final settlement. One thing ive seen a lot of from people speaking aboutthis situation is the creditors will make sure your credit file is is damaged before even considering the settlement.

    Take a look at http://www.nationaldebtline.co.uk/england_wales/factsheet.php?page=24_full_and_final_settlement_offers for more information.

    Feel free to post more details of your situation and a full SOA as outlined in the first time posters thread and we may be able to help you.

    Good luck
