Hi

The next step is, unfortunately, due to the number of accounts a lengthy one. That is to create a separate post on this thread for each individual account, including correspondence from/to the creditors. Then it will be easier to get tailored advice on a case by case basis.

You can find the guidance on how to set out a diary here (post #2) https://www.all-about-debt.co.uk/for...-read-me-first


Incidentally it's best to round up figures a little bit, rather than exact £££'s.

[debrag]

Debt 1: Natwest Loan £4889 | Being sent to Westcot | Part of DMP | DMP statues of credit report | ----> Default/ended, end date 2024
Debt 2: Natwest OD £1248 | Being sent to Westcot | Part of DMP | DMP statues of credit report | ----> Default/ended & zero balance, end date 2024
Debt 3: Very £767 | NCO dealing | Account still open | Part of DMP | ----> Default, end date 2024
Debt 4: JD Williams £1740 | Account still open | Part of DMP | ----> Default, end date 2024
Debt 5: Lloyds cc £457 | Minimum payments | £25 a month
Debt 6: Marbles cc £656 | minimum payments | ----> Default, end date 2025
Debt 7: Capital One £103 | minimum payments | ----> £20 a month
Debt 8: Capital One £167 | minimum payments | ----> Paid off

Debt 13 Credit Resource Solutions (Trugym) £86 | Sent back to OC | Default on credit report | ---> Not on reports
Debt 14: Credit Resolution Services (Lending Stream) ? | Sent back to OC | Default on credit report | ---> Not on reports

Debts 1 to 4 are on a dmp/token payments due to not being able to afford minimum payments
Debts 5 to 10 I can afford minimum payments and have these paid off next year with a little extra
Debt 12 Fall of credit report May 2018, they first contacted my in Jan 2018
Debts 13 to 14 are due to fall of credit report November 2018 & March 2019.

So whats the next step? Lantern have already sent me all data via the SAR request.
