Hi all,
Don't know where to start.
DH and I have £7,000 in credit card debt.
DH is self employed.
We have weathered the recession but this debt is the price we have paid.
We just couldn't make the payments anymore and went to see a free debt advisory service in our town.
Debt advisor has been working with CC company for six months now all to no avail.
We wanted to offer a reduced amount in full settlement but Company won't accept this. Debt adviser has been next to useless and has now handed all to Step Change.
However I have been getting letters from CCard company advising the next step is to hand all over to a debt collection agency with County Court to be involved.
Can they do this if we have been trying to work with them?
One of cards was owed £5,000 when we first went to see adviser. We offered £3,500 in full and final settlement which they rejected.
Where do we go from here?
Will bailiffs appear at my home?
Is my name now going to appear in Stubbs Gazette?
