  • Can you advise?

    Hi there,

    totally new to this site and a total novice when it comes to anything financial. Hope you can help??

    My name's Steve and i've lived and worked Bangkok, Thailand for the last 4 years. I work for a non-profit NGO organising volunteer projects to help the needy across the country.

    Due to my previous poor financial management i ran up a credit card debt of around 4,000GBP. My card was stopped and my debt passed to the DCA, Debitas. I originally set up a direct debit with them through my bosses uk account for 140.00GBP each month which was the maximum i could afford at the time. This DD lasted for about 18 months until my boss closed his HSBC account.

    My final payment was in October 2011 and now my mother, who sill lives in the UK, has just received a few phone calls from Cougar Financial Services asking to speak to me. She told the caller she would get a message to me.

    Now i suppose my question is, does anybody know where i stand with repaying what is left on the debt? I have no intention of returning to the UK. I'm married and have a child here in Thailand. If anybody can let me know i would be extremely grateful. If you require any further details about my situation, please let me know .

    Thanks for your time and i look forward to hearing anything that anybody can tell me.

    Steve

    Just ignore it. They can't touch you. You're quite safe

    As for your mum. Next time they call she needs to say "sorry it's not me; I dunno what you want; go away" kinda thing

      Really? I hoped that was the case. I'm so glad to hear it from somebody who know's the rules on this sort of thing though.

      Can i just ask if they can blacklist my parents property or can they do anything that will affect their very good financial status?

        Hi

        Nope. Nothing to do with your folks. Debt is personal and also there is no blacklist.

        You'll be defaulted here in uk. So what?

        They cannot chase you in Thailand for a uk regulated debt. Walk away & forget it. It's history

                    You know I would do it. It'd be funny to record it too

                      Just make sure that they pick up the tab for the 'phone call though.
