Letter from Santander. They're adding charges for non payment and adding interest now for the balance transfer

Do you think I should reply back with something now? Thanks guys

Re: sebaab's diary

Once they default then the charges will stop. You could confuse/delay them by sending a missing PTs letter. Not sure what anyone else would suggest. Pixie is your best bet to ask.

Feb 2017 Letter From Santander "As you have not made a payment to clear the arrears, we now need you to clear the full balance outstanding of £x,xxx. Please make a payment by ringing us on xxxxxxxx"

These two letters seem to indicate they have closed the account.
Others might have other suggestions, but if it was me I wouldn't reply or have contact again with Santander.

Re: sebaab's diary

Hi Roger

I disagree - it seems to me they are saying pay the arrears (ie overdue payments on the DMP), or else you will become immediately liable to pay the entire amount owing.

But I don't think they have closed the account (yet).

I would simply take them at their words this clearly says "..we now need you to clear the full balance outstanding of £x,xxx. Please make a payment by ringing us on xxxxxxxx"
Without knowing the terms on the agreement I wouldn't know about other charges etc.. But the FULL BALANCE OUTSTANDING has been called for and this isn't the arrears or normal payments.

Others might have other suggestions, but if it was me I wouldn't reply or have contact again with Santander.

Re: sebaab's diary

If an account goes into default (ie repayments are not kept up) they are entitled to demand repayment of the full alleged debt. However they have since added further charges and interest, which suggests that the account has not been closed off.

Re: sebaab's diary

With respect to the Santander account how would I know if it's been closed? Thanks for your input by the way

[JLC]

Re: sebaab's diary

It would be closed when its defaulted. Barclaycard added a couple of months of interest onto mine before they sold it, but mine was UE, do I sent SWID (in December) and haven't heard anything since. I'd also had a threatening letter from Howard Cohen so I sent them and LBA, but probably didn't need to do that as Robinson Way put the account on hold.

Just keep ALL correspondence (with envelopes if possible) together.
We obviously don't know the actual terms of the Agreement all we know is that Santander called for the full outstanding balance in February.

Niddy has looked at the s.78 and there is nothing to be gained with further correspondence with Santander at this moment.
Seems to me that silence is the better approach at this time.

Others may have different opinions.

Thank you. I don't think it's defaulted yet but by the looks of things probably will soon. Will sit tight for now.
