M&S loan give to debt agency
I have a loan with M&S for 13k. In 2019 I had a 6 month break due to job loss, in which M&S default my account since I had a six month repayment break. After the 6 month break I found a job and started repaying on time. I have recieved a letter saying weston credit agency have the loan. Can they do this, why give it to a debt agency when I've been paying on time. Any advice is welcome

Yes, it's fine for them to pass it to a DCA.
Just keep on repaying it.0 -
Yes they can do it. You haven't been paying on time, by your own admission you are 6 months in arrears.
Was the 6 month "break" authorised and pre-agreed or did you just stop paying? Have you repaid the 6 months arrears?
From stopping paying in 2019 to action in Jan-22, seems a long time for any action, what has happened in between?Life isn't about the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away. Like choking....1 -
The break had been agreed with M&S. With losing my job. When I was back in work I started paying back after the 6 months. It was actually 2020 not 2019. I've been paying back every month for over a year. I went back to the original payment I was not asked to pay more by M&S to make up for the 6 months I missed.0

Do I keep to the payment amount I had been originally paying to M&S. To credit agency as its an affordable amount for me. Its made me full of anxiety this has never happened to me before0

Yes, just stick to the payments. But at some point, you'll need a plan to make up the arrears.1
