Hi all,
I lost my job in 2010,
run up debts with Barclays and Barclaycard and
now they've sold my debt to Lowell and others.
It is a lot of money, but I would like to repay them and get rid of all debts as I have a job now.
I owe Lowell £2,415; this was a debt from my Visa Debit,
the overdraft was £1,800, so I guess they added some charges.
The other debt is for a Barclaycard, £4,581, sold to MKDP LLP,
original debt was just below £4,000.
Originally I had less credit, £1,500 I think,
then as I was in the middle of my job problems Barclaycard sent me letter,
I did not ask for it, saying they had increased my credit to £4,000.
I had no money and I spent it all.
I'm paying my student loan as well and lots of other stuff,
I thought I could set up a direct debit with Lowell and MKDP for £25 a month for each,
but will they be ok with that?
Will they charge interest on the debt if I start paying?
Also should I pay all the charges as well or just what I owe?
I checked my credit rating on Experian, and it says "Fair", how's that possible? I'm not even registered on Electoral Roll!
If anyone can help me out a little with info or directions/links I'd be very grateful.
