Thank you spud, much appreciated. I will try and get them scanned and send to Niddy over the weekend.
i have no doubt that this one will be enforceable but at least I have had over a year without paying anything

[Spud]

So PRA finally sent you some documents.....

So the next stage is to scan them ( if you are able to) and email them to Niddy for checking on the following email address: webmaster@all-about-debt.co.uk

Don't blank anything out as he would need to see the full detail and it is quite safe as only Niddy is able to see these details etc. Send any terms and agreements they sent you together with the covering letter - But there is no need to send the copy statements etc

He does get pretty busy so he may take a few days to come back to you but just hang in there until he does

Any problems - Post up and we will get you sorted

I am Mrs Vaper. . Mr does not deal with anything financial, so I suppose I'm mostly to blame for this mess.

You're not to blame for anything. Stuff happens.

This forum will help you along the way

[vaper]

you stated:- Quote:-

Do I have to CCA some/all of the creditors?

so if you are serious then CCA1974 each one, suggest do a diary for each company/credit card to save confusion, in respect of your wife's a diary each account under her name , and remember to send letters etc Recorded Delivery and attach receipts to your copy, suggest file for each account?

Thanks for your replies folks. I'm trying to rationalise it all in my head. Total debt now stands at a whopping £61,461 and still climbing thanks to barclaycard stalling with their defaults. It's making me feel quite anxious now I can see it all written down.
I'm trying to make myself feel better by thinking 'what's the worst thing that can possibly happen' once I figure that out I'll be able to get my head right and get on with facing it all properly.
I've been and got myself a printer and some postal orders!
