Hi there,
I've received an email from a debt collection company informing me that they have closed the account :j
Is this email legal and binding or should i get it on paper?
cheers,

It should be legally binding, but paper is always better.0

By "legally binding" I'm assuming that you're asking whether it's an enforceable contract. If it contains a contract yes it is. But beware "E&OE" because the sender of the email could claim unwitting errors and exceptions.0

okay thanks. I suppose the proof is in the pudding.
How can I check that the account is actually closed though?0 -
All you can do at this stage is ask them. After a while, it should show up on credit reference reports as closed.0
