Apologies for resurrecting this thread !!!! Was wondering if you use Payplan and they in turn contact your creditors and you decided not to go through with their dmp. Would this affect your debt as regard to statute barred?? Was asking as they have contacted creditors on your behalf. Is this an admission of debt??

Cheers

Hi I am filling out a P85 for the tax office, as they owe me an amount of tax to be refunded. On the form, it asks for my current address here in Oz. My question is, can I put my PO Box number or do I have to put my current residential address?? I ask this as I see that some of the DCA's have been signed up with the HRMC and I would not want my current residentail address to be given out/found out at any stage Thanks

Many thanks

The problem I have now is the DCA"s constantly calling my parents home in the UK. I have a PO Box number that my ;parents havegiven them but they have not sent anything to this PO box address in months. Any advice on how I can stop the calls to my parents? thanks

Cheers shadow/twofoot thanks for the advice

Hi I am interested in making a couple of full & final settlements on debts that have had no payment against them for roughly 2 years The question is, if I offer a full and final settlement, will this reset the statute barred timeframe of 6 years? Any advice welcome. P.S I am living overseas permanently and have done for roughly 3 years Cheers

Hi Cerberusalert I am getting the SAR prepared. As I have a cc and loan etc... with OC, can I put this on the SAR request, or do I have to do a separate SAR with each? Also DCA's have stopped responding to my PO Box, account is in dispute also as no CCA sent to me. They have started sending threatening mail to my old address back in the UK and are hassling parents with phone calls etc.. theatening CCJ's and all sorts. They know im not in the UK. Anyway to get them to stop hassling my parents?!?? Cheers

Good news for the CAG Headline :-Time to crack down on the debt collecting heavy mob http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/article-1312064/Time-crack-the.html

Thanks for the advice, Ill send the SAR to the OC and then see what they come back with cheers

The thing is, its gone past Wescot and has been passed down a couple of notches down the DCA Chain now. I've had letters for a few others. I'm still unsure that the debt is owned by a DCA as they all say they are acting on behalf of the OC. Also the last couple of letters said that they they are acting on behalf of the DCA trying to collect before !?!?!??! I know its unenforcable, but it would be no harm done if they choose not to accept. I might try 10% and see how I go. Any pointers to an F&F template that I could use? Any other advice for this would be much appreciated. I was thinking as they know Im in Oz, this might be their chance to recoup the money they have paid for this debt so they could be up for a low offer Once I have got the F&F drafted, will it be ok to post up and check all is correct before sending ?? Thanks for all your help cerberusalert, great site Will definetly be making a donation

Hi, me again Just a recap about the sitaution as I have still not received the CCA. Its gone very quiet also since I last sent the a/c in dispute letter. Im thinking of offering an F&F on this, what figure (%) should I aim at? Im in Oz as well, and DCA's are aware of this. I just want this cleared now. I also know most of the a/c debt in question is made up of charges etc... What's the sitation with the SAR request. Am I correct in saying you should do the SAR if they send you back an enforcable CCA?? Can you send the SAR independant of the CCA ?? confused thanks for your help

Hi Cerberusalert Ive just had a letter threatening legal action blah blah etc... If I dont respond by a certain day from Incasso. Still no sign of the CCA from the other DCA's before. What's the next step, ignore or send the a/c in dispute letter ?!?!? Cheers

Thanks cerberualert for your prompt reply, Ill get that sent off as soon as I was thinking the same about being passed from DCA to DCA. Why has the OC not sold the a/c to a DCA, rather than the DCA collecting on behalf of, any idea? This is the 2nd DCA collecting on behalf of the OC now. I have had no default notice or notice of assignment I think its called ta
