I thought I'd jump straight in as a newbie with a diary of my own, even though the urge to spill the whole sorry saga is strong.
I've been reading the forum solidly for a couple of days. Words cannot describe my relief at finding a forum like this, I think that what you are doing is exactly what the "big society" should be about. I hope you can help me, but judging by the help all of you have provided to others in need, I can thank you for that right now!
My Camel's back broke when I realised I was dealing with 4 agencies, but only 3 debts...
I sent out CCAs on the basis of information from a debt advice leaflet. So I used the wording as part of a wider letter that I then signed with a pen. I get the feeling I shouldn't have done that.... I expect I shouldn't have asked for the £1 to be added to whatever debt I was dealing with, but I could just about scratch enough together for the registered post.
Anyway - enough saga
