Anyone had experience of lendable stopped paying and my account was defaulted in May 23 according to my credit reports, but have not had any confirmation from them, aware they use email as communication.

What happens next:

1.      Do they tend to sell the debt?

2.      Keep it and ask someone to manage it for them?

3.      Or Manage themselves?

I have Dyslexia which is a learning difficulty that primarily affects the skills involved in accurate and fluent word reading and spelling so some post may not make sense.

    I've no experience of this company but generally you would get some correspondence from a creditor to point out that they are no longer getting payments.  Might have some of the usual stuff like "are you in financial difficulty, can we help, have you talked to a debt adviser?"  If they don't hear back they are likely to escalate things and perhaps sell it on to a collection agency.  

    If you are able to pay even a small amount (£5 a month or?) then you might want to contact them and tell them you are going to set up a standing order to do so.  But if things are really bad for you I'd suggest you do need to talk to a debt adviser to help you sort things out.

    There are some knowledgeable people here who will suggest you fill out a statement of accounts (see the top sticky post).  This will at least help you organise your thoughts and if you post that here people will make some suggestions on how to sort your budget.  If you don't want to do that then you should talk to National Debtline, StepChange, Citizen's Advice or a Community Money Adviser.
