Welcome Finance

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
S
Scoops :)

    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.

    Make your offer and see how they respond.

    There is a full and final thread somewhere, might be a useful read for ideas on what to expect.
