Barclaycard Passed My Debt To Mercers Advice Sought

[retroglide]

Hi,

 

I currently have arrears on my barclaycard which I am aiming to clear within the next week or 2. I have had a letter from Mercer who I understand from other threads is a dormant company and is owned by Barclaycard.

 

I want to pay some of the money today - is my best bet to pay barclaycard direct and then write to Mercers to tell them what I have done/will be doing?

 

Any advice on how to proceed gratefully received.

Mercers are B'cards in house pseudo DCA.

Try and deal directly with B'card rather than any third party.

Ignore Mercers as they will do they same to you.

Also NEVER speak to them on the phone as they pay no attention to what you have to say.

Thank very much for that advice - funnily enough I have just received a letter saying that I need to pay the amount to barclaycard so I guess that's what I should do.

 

Thanks again

Hi All, not sure im postin this in the right place, (first timer here!)

 

Could do with some advice!!!

 

Had a call from a company called "Mercers" or something like that, saying they wanted to speak to my partner about money. Have read a few threads which i came accross via internet stating "mercers" a crappy bogus company setup by Barclays to put the frightners on folk! Not sure what to beleive???? everyone seems to be contradicting themselves, anyway... called them back on 0151 473 2528. and got in contact with some snotty nosed cow who demanded money straight away, gave them a bit of bull and said i was a lawyer, suddenly they were all nicey nicey, but still not sure what they do? Any info u can give me would be much appreciated.

 

Love Slim
