Sorry to butt in here Zararh but you may wish to remove this post and delete your name and address first. Up to you of course but I have posted before and always been advised to blank out personal details.

You should always be very wary of posting your details on a public forum as the creditors scour the pages.

so, ive been arguing with the DMP company for the last few days. Basically i have been asking them for weeks to find out why the debt has gone up and down and to get me new otals. They point blank havnt done this. He keeps fobbing me off saying he has to write to the creditors for totals. Surely they should have this information? so i basically said i aint paying a penny till i find out why its going up and not down. so then he threatened to close the account. I just said do it frankly i think there pants!! he said :

 

Dear Zara,

 

Many thanks for the email detailed below. I will get all of the paperwork we hold for you sent back today.

 

With regards to thinking you are on an IVA we have never offered IVA`s as a company and if you have paperwork from us showing this I would be highly surprised. With regards to your current balances, they may well have gone up since taking out the plan but I would like to make you aware that this would be largely due to the fact of your sporadic payment history. The most important part of a debt management plan is to keep up with the monthly payments or any arrangements that we make may break resulting in interest and charges. Below is a table of your payment amounts and dates:

 

06MAR200780.00 Direct DebitNo

This illustrates the difficulties your plan faced and is the reason that it ultimately failed.

 

In regards to offering your creditors token payments, indeed they have to accept any level of payment towards an account, whether it is £1.00 or £100.00. However, it does in no way mean that they are obliged to freeze interest or charges or stop commencing any potentially legal action. If you have been informed of this then I am afraid you have been ill-advised.

 

Once again, I am truly sorry that your plan did not work out, but given your circumstances and the fact that things are extremely tight for you at the moment, I would recommend seeking advice from a charity such as the citizen’s advice bureau. They will more than likely set your plan up to pay just £1 per month to your creditors. Which at this point will suit you but obviously will not really help to get you out of debt.

 

Finally, I sincerely hope that your situation improves and that you can enjoy a debt free future as soon as possible.

 

Yours truly,

 

Steve

The original creditors would appear to have been adding charges and interest. Your best bet is to SAR each one.

Dear Zara,

 

With regards to the IVA`s we can give a limited amount of advise regarding these, but as I have stated previously, we do not offer them as a solution within In Control Debt Solutions.

 

With regard to the payments on your account. The fact that many payments were missed is entirely responsible for the failing of your plan. We set payment arrangements p with your creditors to expect payments every month. They in turn set arrangements to this effect and commonly, when a payment is missed, the arrangement breaks.

 

However, I have been doing some research for you and I can discovered an even better way for you to combat your debt issue. The government has created a different solution call a `debt relief order` I believe that you may be able to get one of these and as far as I am aware all of the debt is cleared. It is for people that have below £15,000 of debt and can’t afford more than £50.00 a month. I would recommend that you contact the CAB to enquire about this as I do believe that you qualify.

 

With regards to a potential refund of you set up fee. I am afraid that as I have previously stated In Control has acted how it can given the circumstances of your account and I am afraid that a refund would not be possible. Furthermore your initial payment was made to a company called Yourclear. This company has now gone in to liquidation. I am concerned that this company may have given you some sort of indication that you could have been on an IVA but it certainly would not have been In Control.

 

Once again I am sorry for any issues that have a risen and seriously hope that a solution will work for you. I seriously hope you can enquire with the CAB re a debt relief order.

 

Steve

 

 

I as never made aware of the company going under!!!!! Are thy allowed to do this? take over the account without bothering to let me know 0_o
