CCJ getting it written off because of mental health ?

[Spent2much]

Didn't know where to post this , but my husband asked me to post this .

I'm suffering severe anxiety panic phobias and agoraphobia , i am receiving treatment and therapy from professionals.

This CCJ in my name is being paid back at £3.89 a month , yeah i know it isn't a lot but my husband thought maybe we could try and get it written off because of my health problems and that it would be one less thing for me to worry about .

thanks

Hi S2M,
Sorry to read of your husbands predicament. I seem to recall a Niddy special (outside of the template area embedded in a thread somewhere) regarding something along these lines. Not sure if anyone else remembers it/is the member benefiting from it.

Hi S2M,
I've moved your thread to the Debt with a Disability Section
Sorry to read of your problems.
A few queries to see if it's worth you trying for a write off on health grounds. (Sorry if it sounds like a PIP questionnaire )
Do you have any letters from your doctor/consultant confirming your mental health problems?
What treatment are you having...and do you have written proof of that?
Are you in financial hardship too, eg is your income reduced as a result of your illness or purely from benefits, and would you be prepared to submit an income and expenses form if they requested one?

Went to the doctors Wednesday and he is writing a letter out for me to send to the creditor who has a ccj and i am picking it up Monday , my next appointment at 'open minds' is 7 March so i can ask for a letter too as my doctor agrees that if i can get this debt written off it will help my illness.

I'm feeling quite down today i have on and off days x

Dark cold days don't help either do they?

When you have both your letters send me a pm to remind me and I'll help you with the write off request if you wish S2M xxx

Awww, don't feel down. We all have "off days"

In fact my default position is "off day" and then I work backwards from that with varying degrees of success. No hope in the winter despite the 'light box' my friend persuaded me to buy.

I'm a big fan of 'talking therapy' (I wonder why ) as opposed to medication because it works.

Getting shot of this CCJ will undoubtedly remove an anxiety for you. But then again ask yourself what can this CCJ actually do to harm you if you don't get rid of it?

Maybe tell us how much is outstanding on the CCJ in case your fears are unfounded. If the balance is less than £1k then there's no way the Claimant/creditor can get a charging order on your home. If the debt is in your sole name even if they did get a 'CO' on your home it would only be a relatively meaningless Restriction until you sell your home.

Take Care.

ha ha you cheer me up xx
Its under 600 now but going on forever and just getting rid will be a good thing and one more debt gone in my eyes.
I just got a letter from my GP that confirms my anxiety and depression since 1973 and confirms my most recent visit this February , cost £14.50 , but it is proof that i have been ill for so long .

I am happier today had a nice weekend with my hubby went to my nieces engagement party Saturday evening and the sunshine of my life was there (my grandson) got me dancing -well i say dancing it was more about him running around on the dance floor and him telling me to follow lol ,, bless him he is my tonic any time .

I hope the therapist at 'open minds' isn't going to charge me for a letter

thanks everyone for the support xxx

I’ve just had some debt written off due to health. Had been paying token payments since 2010 of a £1 for quite a substantial amount. I was asked to provide a letter from GP and evidence of benefits. Took a while to get a response after sending in everything but all done now

That's good to hear

The FCA Handbook (CONC 7) gives businesses clear guidance on dealing with vulnerable consumers.

Thank you for all the help on here.
Cabot have been a nightmare to deal with but I’m so happy it’s taken a lot of stress off me from debt collecting agencies.
They weren’t easy to deal with and just caused more stress every time I spoke to them. Most of this was before I came across this forum. With all the advice on here from members I can’t thank you enough. I still am dealing with another two and hope to get these resolved too once things are back to normal
