Hi there,
First post here so hopefully I've done this right
I've had a loan with Home Shopping Personal Finance since 2008, when I took out £15k over 7 years.
I defaulted on it last year when I just couldn't cope with paying it back, and now owe just over £12k in total.
I've had 3 different DC companies write to me with various levels of threatening language and after a bout of sticking my head in the sand, I'd like to try and resolve this and ensure I can actually sleep at night.
The latest company is DrydsenFairfax, who I wrote to and made an offer of payment, calcuated by doing a budget planner, which was about a third of the previous monthly payment. They have written back today, ignoring my offer totally and requested payment in 7 days else they will take me to court which will involve charge orders / balliffs and other scary stuff.
Do I write to them again and ask for the payment plan, I do want to try and tackle this and pay the money back, I just can't afford the whole amount or even the amount I used to pay. I don't want to talk to them on the phone as I find them stressful, deceitful and bullying but I'm hitting a wall on what to do next.
Any ideas?
