  • And 3 more missed phone calls from them , Obviously trying to use scare tactics , pretty sure quite a few would cave in and pay.

    Just keep strong. Block their number(s). And hunt out the prove-it letter here, as that doesn't acknowledge anything. You may not need to send it, but have it ready to go.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing

    Sorry am i being daft here ? The prove-it letter ?
  • Have received the below by text & email this morning ..

    In the absence of a repayment plan or contact from you, our client has instructed us to issue a County Court Claim against you.

     

    Once a County Court claim is issued, fees and costs are added to the outstanding balance. Furthermore, if a County Court claim is successful a County Court Judgment (CCJ) can be requested. CCJs are registered against an individual for 6 years and may also affect a person’s chances of moving into a new home or changing jobs, as many employers now screen for CCJs and undertake credit checks.


    Do i contact them or sit tight ?
  • If they are thinking of getting a CCJ they MUST contact you by snail mail, text and E Mails don't count so sit tight until you get a letter in the post.
    If you go down to the woods today you better not go alone.

    As I said before, It's 2 months since the pre-action letter. The only thing you need to respond to now is a court claim.

    So would that be a letter with the same content as the email/text that i reply to ? Obviously i know i would have to reply to a court claim.

    They an send whatever letters they want, and appear to be doing so.

    The court claim comes direct from the court. I think there's a national centre at Northampton called CNBC

    Update *** TM Legal still haven’t gone away , have had nothing through from any court etc regarding a CCJ however today they are saying they have obtained one and if I pay the full amount which has now gone up about another £150 they can clear the CCJ , Is this still a load of old tosh ?

    You could try asking them for details of the CCJ, when and where it was granted etc.
