F&F Nationwide Credit Card and Capquest

Hey Guys,


Iv been considering offering 2 of my creditors a full and final settlement offer. I owe £847 on my Nationwide credit card and £1246 to Capquest (was a littlewoods account).


I was hoping to offer Nationwide £500 and Capquest £850


Does anyone have any experience dealing with these 2 companies in this field?
Anyone give me a ballpark answer on chances of them accepting these?


Also I have my mortgage with nationwide (joint mortgage) would this hinder my chances of nationwide accepting my F&F offer?


Thanks for you help in advance


Matt

  • have you defaulted on both debts?they won't accept a F and F on debts not defaulted on
    having said that the total of the debts is £2100 can you not make payments to pay off in full?

    Yes, on my credit report its full of D's for both these accounts. Im in a repayment plan with Nationwide (KPR) and the same with Capquest (which was a Littlewoods account)


    I am selling my car which I hope to get £1500 for so this is how I have split the money between the 2 creditors.


    Thanks

    Just been on the phone to Nationwide and after them going through my income and my outgoings they gave me an offer of £821 to partially settle the debt. How the hell do people get 50% off their debt and im being given £26 off! And they said with your income and expenditure the way it is, its non negotiable.


    How can I only get this? I don't understand where I'm going wrong

    They way they see it you can afford pretty much the full amount,


    I assume you have also told them you are selling your car to raise the money? So the way they see it you can afford to pay it off with that
