I have four loans with lending stream, three were due yesterday. I contacted them about DMP and they passed the debt to CRS and said they would stop CPA and cease collecting for 30 days. Today however i got three default notices for £15 each. I emailed them again saying i was arranging dmp with stepchange and gave ref no, offered token payment again and asked them to remove default fines and ask them to hold account for 30 days and freeze interest. Anything else i can do?0
