Hi Forum! Am hoping someone may be able to offer some advice. Following period of very difficult times late 90's/early 00's - I negotiated (and, over many years, completed) payment arrangements with most of my creditors to clear substantial accumulated debts over £40k - fortunately avoiding bankruptcy/IVA's etc. However, whilst moving house in 2007, I got issued with a CCJ - and slightly unsure who the creditor was!! Sounds stupid, I know - sorry! I have a sneaky feeling it was Yorkshire Bank - who had given up chasing me to clear £10k card debt. The CCj suggested that the 'particulars of the agreement and debt had previously been provided to me' - which they hadn't. In the turmoil of house move - I foolishly just accepted the debt and returned the court forms offering to pay £20 per month etc which was accepted and CCJ issued. Claimant : CL Finance Ltd. (not aware of them and had no previous dealings - but assumed they assigned the debt from someone!) Pay to: Howard Cohen & Co. No 'account numbers or references' I could recognise. The years have passed and I have religiously paid the £20 per month for the last 10 years. (Mug I hear you say!) I have never received any statement or progress report - amount outstanding etc etc. I have moved a couple of times in last 12 years - but always on Electoral Roll/Experian etc - so definitely traceable? However, I have recently become curious as to what the debt was - and why my DD changed few years ago to 'Lewis Group' but now shows me paying 'Robinson Way'? I am reluctant to write to Robinson Way and ask what this debt is - and to whom (!) - or was the CCJ obtained correctly - was there PPI on the account (blimey - that would be a result!) as they could re-assess my circumstances and try to increase payments substantially - or my greatest fear - get a charge order against my home - or screw my credit rating (which is now clear and very good) But equally - should I carry on paying £20 for the rest of my life (and beyond) and not know who the heck to - or what for! Thoughts/advice appreciated? Best, Phil
