  • Well done, Scarlett, & congrats on the Co-op account. :)

    Though it's tempting, I wouldn't throw any creditor letters away just yet. You could ring them & give them your BR details (case number, the date of the hearing, the court you appeared in, & the name & address of your OR) over the phone - if any of them ask for a copy of your BR order, you can tell them you have no legal obligation to provide that, as they can verify what you've said with the OR & also check the Insolvency Register online. Then either forward the letters to your OR, or keep them until your BR has been fully sorted out. I kept most of mine until I was discharged, & I won't be getting rid of the rest until all my credit files have been fully updated. I realise that's probably me being rather over-cautious, but I don't want to get rid of anything I might later need. :)
  • No problem Tigerfeet, you just say where and when and I'll be there :D My fees are very reasonable..... cash in hand though please ;)

    Thanks WDIAG, I'll keep filing them then :) Inluding the one I've just received this morning who are threatening a 'doorstep agent to call and collect the amount owed'.... I'll just give them a quick ring now and give them the good news......;)

  • Oh, I wish I'd recorded the conversation :rotfl:

    Nasty DCA person: Good morning, Nasty Debt Collectors, can I have your reference please?
    Me: reference number is xxxxxxx
    NDCAP: Can you confirm your name and address.
    Me: no problem xxxxxxxx
    NDCAP: Can I take a telephone number?
    Me: oh no, I won't be giving you that.
    NDCAP: What about an email address?
    Me: oh no, I won't be giving you that either :D
    NDCAP: okay, will you be paying by debit or credit card this morning?
    Me: oh no, I won't be doing that either :D
    NDCAP: Errrr.............. <sounding very puzzled>
    Me: I'm actually calling today to inform you I was made BR last Monday.
    NDCAP: oh, okay then. Can I take your OR's name and your BR number?
    Me: Indeed you can, it is xxxxx and xxxxx
    NDCAP: Er.... thanks then.
    Me: you're very welcome, bye now :D
