Hi Guys
I'm really after some advice...
I purchase a secured loan from Citi in July 2006 to consolidate. (Stupid as I borrow 16K over 180 months/15yrs which payback means I pay back £49K in total)
However the issue is as follows....
I haven't paid anything since sometime 2013... and no chasing was done by Citi
Then..
10 June 2014 - Informed they were transferring this loan to Arrow on 29th June 2014 - no mention of my arrears of payment just informing me this debt was being transferred
11 June 2014 received letter from Arrow saying taken over debt again no amounts mentioned and new direct debit details and that continue as normal spiel
25 June 2014 received letter from Arrow asking to fill in Data Capture form - not filled in or returned
28th July 2014 received letter from Arrow about changed to tariff
Then nothing received until
27th Feb 2015 letter from Arrow saying account in arrears by £516.82.... (Top of letter say outstanding balance £516.82 & Arrears balance £516.82) So it doesn't add up... Why when haven't paid anything since 2013 am I only £516.82 in arrears??? (My normal payment were £276.27 a month) any why at top of letter is outstanding balance £516.82 and also arrears??
14th April 2015 letter received from Arrow saying instruction to send a field agent out as the account remains in arrears... Now the top of the letter says outstanding balance £530.48 and arrear £530.48)
30th April 2015 - Field Agent called from Excel Counselling Service (no we were not in and even I was I would not have answered the door) Left letter saying please call to discuss arrears held on this 2nd mortgage and a mobile number.
I basically do not know what to do... Do I make contact?? I do not want to go back to paying £276.27 a month as with my current situation would kill me financially. But If they are saying I only owe £530.48 only where is says outstanding balance and arrears amount same - would be willing to get this cleared but I don't know if I can go off that??
Why also would they not have tried to do a repossession order or something similar with no payments being made and no really efforts to claim this money back by lack of letter received???
I have a phone line but we don't have a telephone line connected to it, but I know that someone has tried to call a friend of ours who lives in the same area but ours is a road name and their is a close name and its was just luck that it was a friend who live on the close and said someone rang asking to speak with you or your husband and I said Never heard of them and got wrong number.
Please Please help as Im now struggling to sleep as dont like idea of people calling at my house
Thanks in advance
