The debts were pile up and we don't know what to do first thought of borrow more and more to cover end up now £122000 debts. We're hse owner roughly got £69000 equity, got two kids age 11 & 9, he stop working and on benefits (incapacity & DLA), I'm in full time employment £120pw. Due to my husband on strong medication lack of thinking abilities unable to help this problem luckily I found national helpline than starting own DMP dealing with all the creditors with £1 token payment. Reasonly got one awkard creditor owed £3000, once my husband received N9 form and missed the 14 days deadline and got charging order. So I found useless and complete out of my hand keep worry what other creditors will act. So I appointed 1 free credit councelling face to face help, 2 wks time will come out some options but i aware of bankruptcy, isolvency, iva and etc. Because of my kids just starting to grow should thing can live in very tight budget system, according I reading here and there will think DMP is better off for now.

Re: Need Advice
Hi
Full time work at £480pm?
Not that it matters - obviously you can't pay this debt back. Can you start a diary and list the debts please?
Then we'll advise how to proceed if you're considering the UE route of course?I'm the forum administrator and I look after the theme & features, our volunteers & users and also look after any complaints or Data Protection queries that pass through the forum or main website. I am extremely busy so if you do contact me or need a reply to a forum post then use the email or PM features offered because I do miss things and get tied up for days at a time!

Re: Need Advice
Hiya Lovemoney,
Others more knowledgeable than me will be along soon, but firstly we will need more information to target the right help.
I noticed earlier you where looking in the debt and disability section that is a good start.
We need to know how many debts you have, what there start date is, who this debts are owed too that sort of thing.
We also have a very good guy on this forum who does DMP's that you can afford so there are a few options.
Finally you are at the right place the forum owner niddy has a very good team here.
Stay online for as long as you can and help will be along.

Re: Need Advice
Hi and welcome
I am so very sorry to hear of your hardship difficulties etc, and can understand how you feel, as my hubby went through the same thing a few years ago, when the plant he worked for went into administration just days before xmas, depression set in. I am a full time Carer to my youngest son who has special needs, also have an older son.
Now what we did was, if any of the creditors were being difficult, we were forever writing letters for them to agree to a lower repayment until finances improved. A right pain in the you know what!
We gave them the opportunity to help, but they kept on refusing, we ended up complaining to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), who put it under the Hardship criteria, so it taken less time for them to deal with the complaint.
Basically we wanted the bank in question to freeze on the charges/interest, that were just adding up and adding up, worsening the debt, if they had agreed at an earlier stage, then it wouldn't have been the case.
The Adjudicator upheld our complaint, and requested they freeze the charges/interest, and to refund back to the account to help bring it down again and they also wanted the bank to pay for distress and inconvenience, this redress were refunded back to us.
I'm sure you will get some help from others on here, but I just wanted to share this with you.
Stay strong now and you will eventually get there.
But if they are forever refusing to help you, I would most certainly make that complaint to the FOS under the hardship criteria, I would also confirm to the FOS of the situation as you have done in your post above.

Re: Need Advice
Just noticed about the claim form (N1 I presume?).. N9 is acknowledgement of service.
So this lender obtained a ccj, interim CO and final CO and you never once submitted any forms?
Can you elaborate here as I don't think they have a CO - are you sure it isn't a CCJ?
Please explain this first as its the most important issue as things stand.I'm the forum administrator and I look after the theme & features, our volunteers & users and also look after any complaints or Data Protection queries that pass through the forum or main website.

Reconstituted copy of CCA from Barclaycard received today (11/5/2013). Due to the current status of yr a/c, the full outstanding balance is now due. We are currently unable to provide a copy of the terms of yr credit agreement as varied in accordance with section 82(1) of the Act. We accept that we are therefore prevented from enforcing our agreement with you while this state of affairs continues. Notwithstanding that we cannot currently enforce the agreement, our rights continue to exist under that has accrued on yr a/c. We can & will continue to take any action short of enforcement, which includes reporting to credit agencies without also telling them that the agreement is currently unenforceablek demanding payment from you, ossiomg a default notice to you & instructing a third party to demand payment or otherwise seek to procure payment. We refer you to the case of Philip McGuffick v The RBS [2009] EWHC 2386 in which it was held that none of these steps constituted "enforcement" for this purpose. Pls note that the decision in Carey v HSBC [2009] EWHC 3417QB makes it clear that an unfair relationship cannot be said to have arisen between us as a result of the fact that we have not currently complied with section 78 of the Act. To the extent that you seek to allege that an unfair relationship has arisen, such allegations will be opposed. This completes our obligations under Section 78 of the Act. Emailed to Niddy

26/11/13
Letter from LOWELL PORTFOLIO received. You believe yr Section 77/78 CCA request by CAPITAL ONE was not complete, therefore you believe this debt to be unenforceable. My findings You are in possession of our final response, dated 4/9/13 & in the absence of any new information being received from you there is nothing further that I can add. Should it be the case that further correspondence of a similar nature is received with no further information being provided, we will not respond but will of course note receipt of any correspondence onto yr a/c. To bring this matter to a suitable resolution we ask that you provide us with documentary evidence as to why CAPITAL ONE failed to comply with yr Section 77/78 CCA request. This information will allow us to investigate this matter further. I respectfully disagree that this a/c is unenforceable on the basis that yr request made under section 77 and / or 78 was not answered by CAPITAL ONE within the prescribed time of 12 working days. To further clarify this piece of legislation: An a/c is deemed unenforceable if the 12 working days have elapsed until the time the required documents are issued. As both CAPITAL ONE & LOWELL FINANCIAL have provided these deem the a/c to be enforceable. I refer you to section 78(6)(a)& section 77(4)(a) as appropriate that says that a creditor, such as LOWELL PORTFOLIO cannot enforce the term of any agreement until such time as any requests made under these sections of the CCA for a copy of the a/c agreement has been answered. The documents required to be supplied have been the subject of a lengthy legal test case of Carey v HSBC[2009] where it was held by the High Court that the comply with a section 77/78 request:- 1. The original signed agreement need not be supplied as a reconstituted copy of the agreement is sufficient provided it contains the name & address of the person as it was when the credit agreement was signed; & 2. If the terms & conditions of the credit agreement have been varied following the date it entered into then a copy of the last varied terms should also be supplied. In summary the information that we have sent to you in response to yr section 77/78 request complies with all legal requirements & regulatory guidance. Have placed yr a/c on hold for 30 days to give you the opportunity to set up an affordable payment arrangement based on yr current circumstances. We not hear from you within this time, yr a/c will be returned to our Collections Dept. further action which may include Legal action.
