Cheers you’ve put my mind at ease for her now. She’s not been very organised and I’ve stressed she’s got to keep all mail and pass it to me. Lowell are sending emails at present

Do I need to write to debt collectors to try and bat them off at all

No last years water gone to debt collectors. I’ve been paying this years direct to water company. But I’ve been told as soon. As she pays 6 months paying there’s a fund that will clear half of the arrears and after another 6 months of payments clear the rest.

No she’s lived at same address for about 10 years. There are debts to a water company too but I’m sorting them out. Facts are her and her partner have spilt he’s left her right in it. Shes working part time and now claiming uc. So things are getting there. She’s buried her head for the last year. I’ve aimed to clear the things that haven’t defaulted first. And are making more than the minimum repayment to those. So at least I can repair some of her credit rating it’s only 284 at the moment. But once her 2 credit cards are clear then I will be having her to spend a limited amount on 1 monthly and pay that straight off. I honestly thought I could make a small payment towards the shop direct so it wouldn’t end up in hands of debt collectors but that’s not to be. Plus that will now be on her file for 6 more years

Hi all trying to help my cousin after her break up and trying to sort out her finances.. She has a barclaycard debt Default Balance £3,619.00 Account started 24/07/2015 Default Date 05/07/2019 Last payment made 38 months ago. In the hands of link for around 18 months She has a vanquis debt Default Balance £3,372.00 Account started 24/07/2015 Default Date 31/01/2020 Last payment made 30 months ago. In the hands of lowell SHOP DIRECT FINANCE COMPANY LTD Default Balance £1,054.00 Account started 11/11/2016 Default Balance £1,054.00 Default Date 30/03/2023 Last payment made 14 months ago. Now in hands of lowell. Annoying 2 days after I tried to make a small payment in hope to stop it going to debt collectors. My plan originally was to make a small payment to shop direct going forward monthly however now it’s gone to lowell. They have sent an email with both the vanquis and shop direct balance on. And I’m concerned if I try to pay the 1 they will take money off both and start the default date at a newer date on the older debt. The first 2 will be off credit report 2025/2026 but the newest one will be 2029. How would you advise I should I proceed? in the process of clearing 3 credit cards with a low balance which have not been defaulted as well and this should be finished and clear within 3 months

Thought it was the case just wanted to check back in. Took them a few years to send someone to the house. Just gutted I was in work today when they did come
