Hi
Has anyone else got an old debt with Welcome Finance and had it moved to a new company?
I was thinking of asking for a final settlement figure but I was wondering if others had already done this and the how much it is likely to be.
The debt is about £4k.
Thanks

Hi,
Debts get sold on all the time, it's fairly normal practice.
A Settlement figure would depend on a number of factors, how long they have held the debt, if they have correct paperwork, etc etc.
