  • Hi

    Just wanted to bump this up, so it doesn't get missed. The only thing I can think of is to call someone like CCCS to get some free advice, but i'm sure someone will be along shortly to give some further advice.

    Good Luck

  • I'm no expert on this, all I can do is give big (((HUGS))). I would suggest that you go to the CAB as soon as possible and see if they can help you.
    I'm sure someone else will be along soon with more (and better) advise. Anyway, this will bump you back to the first page.
    Take care

    Sorry to hear of your predicament, I would take all correspondence to the CAB, and ask them for help, at least with contacting the company & also setting up a payment plan with them, you really need to speak to someone urgently, the CAB can mediate & help to stop the bully boy tactics of debt collection agencies.
    Hope I've been of help to you
