Thanks for this.i will just await the defaults still the and then I contact the debt collection company to make some payment plans direct? Is this correct? What if they go straight to legal action what is my best course of action then? Thankssourcrates said:Keep your eye on what they send you, as, although quite rare, some lenders will go straight to legal action, and bypass the debt collection process altogether, sometimes its difficult to predict what they will do.
Also keep checking your credit files, once defaults are registered, you are good to go.0 -

They will write to you, and payments can be made on their respective websites, no need to contact them, or have anything to do with them, they are nothing more than a payments processor.Callum1510 said:
