    If the debt is yours , but only want to pay part of it , what,s the moral justice in that ?

    The same moral justice that allows these companies to charge stupid interest rates and push credit onto people who cant afford it.

    So surely if someone can grab some of the interest back through getting a full and final its a good thing?

    Stapeley - I think your comment to me was a bit harsh.

    Basically I am trying to pay off the debt early. I do fear that some people may choose trying to get their CCA as a way of getting out of paying a debt that they know they owe, which isnt really fair is it?

    I am not saying that everyone who asks for their CCA is doing this, nor am i saying that you yourself have done/are doing/ are inciting people to do this.

    You do provide some good advice on your posts.

    Hi Amy,

    Can I ask what percentage full and final you have offered. I am thinking of doing the same, but not sure where to start. I guess start low :D

    Keep us posted.

    Thanks,

    Hi Sammy

    I have started at 30%. Im not expecting for them to agree to that, however it gives room for manouver really.

    I will keep you posted no problem.

    With regards to this:

    I have written a letter, and want to send it. Should i send registered/special delivery. If yes, they have a PO BOX address and a Registered Office address. I know you cant send recorded/special to a PO box so should i send to the registered office, or just sent normal post?

    Hi Amy,

    I sent a recorded letter to Capquest last week. That was to a PO Box address. I didn't know you couldn't send registered to PO boxes :o

    I will check on the website tracker now to see if it was signed for, and let you know. It might be worth sending to both addresses.
