Lying AGAIN

God I'm so angry.

I have had issues with DP in the past about him lying, especially about money.

Anyway, I thought we were past all that now and he told me he owed one loan about £20 and that was IT. nothing else AT ALL.

Now, he's always been very funny about me opening his mail and insists that I don't. He also never answers the phone etc, using the excuse that it's always call centres wasting people's time.

A few months ago, a bloke came to the door. DP rushed to answer it, went outside, closed the door behind him and took the bloke all the way down to the bottom of the garden!!! I asked his DD who he was and she told me it was the "provvy man" (as in provident credit company).

I confronted him when he came back in, he admitted it was "provvy man" but that all he wanted was to try and get him to agree to more credit his excuse for taking him right down the garden path was "I was trying to get rid of him".

Anyway, I gave him the benefit of the doubt.

This morning however, a letter arrived for DP. Brown envelope, quite official looking. I held it up to the light and could barely make out the word "Provident" inside.

I tried to resist temptation but it got the better of me and I opened it.

It said "It has been at least six weeks since you made your agreed payment to us. Your balance of £670 is still outstanding...." blah blah blah and it then went on to threaten debt collectors and everything else.

Lying bastard.

I've just text him at work to ask how much he owes provident these days and I bet he fucking lies.

If I phone them to find out what's going on, will they actually tell me anything?? I can't stand all these lies.

Anything that is in his sole name dont bother to call data protection act does not entitle you to get any info concerning the account , but when they decide to cut the gas supply data protection act would not protect you , been there , take action with him , now;

you need to know how much he earns , what are the outgoings , if he cant keep up repayments where is the money going and if he is really short he needs to call them and ask for reduced payments that he ccan stick to

maeggee · 11/12/2009 14:05

if he cant talk to you about his money issues he is just being a man and believe me do not let up , I am at a point where I can kill myself for the same issue

maeggee is right - it would be illegal for Provident to tell you anything about his account. He needs to work out how much he can afford, and ask for reduced payments if he needs to. To them, reduced payments are better than no payments, so they should be agreeable to this. Obviously, if he continues to miss payments it will affect his credit rating.

It must be very hard for you

maeggee · 11/12/2009 14:25

it will affect both your credit rating , you are married live at the same address your business is his business do not let you shut you out

hattee · 11/12/2009 14:34

It will only affect your credit rating too if you are financially associated (for example if you have or if you have applied for a joint account). Being married and living at the same address doesn't necessarily make you financially associated (in the eyes of the credit reference agencies anyway - even though you are in practical terms)
