sourcrates said:Just to add to the above, Capquest are just a debt purchasing company, you are under no obligation to share your private financial matters with anyone, least of all a debt collector, your budget is your budget, no one else can dictate to you how you spend your money, or what it can be used for.It only becomes an issue if you are in a regulated debt solution such as an IVA/DRO/ or you go bankrupt, for the purposes of debt management, you tell them what payment they will be getting, not the other way around.National Debtline/stepchange etc, are very good at what they do, but they tend to offer a more concilitory approach when dealing with creditors, i prefer a more robust stand to be taken, this then avoids questions like this from popping up, benefits such as pip are there for a reason, and that reason is not debt repayment.
So you think it best that I just say at this time I have reviewed my finances and I can pay you £20, but when my phone contract comes to an end I can pay you £40 and leave it at that? and don't bother with an IE form0
