  • SLUGs UE diary

    Where did you all go?? You cant escape me...... just checking in here and creating my new log. Not much activity in the last 6 weeks after rightly being told to chill out by NID.

    latest updates will be marked in red-ish to make it easier to follow.

    1. EGG CC
    Approx balance: 10.5k


    [size=5]1/07/10 - sent first CCA request
    17/07/10 - received docs back (these are new print outs, not a true copy) DOES include the phrase "Approved Limit"
    26/07/10 - sent first phone harassment letter. Also awaiting current judgement due September of EGG wording as noted by NID. Following that thread before making my next move.
    27/07/10 - first call from Capital Credit Agency. Which is part of EGG, so the debt hasn't gone far yet.
    03/09/10 - All phone calls stopped soon after I sent the request. Received letter saying they were allowed to call me, but not a single call for well over a month.
    03/09/10 - just got a letter form CCA (part of egg) usual guff but with a new bit - your account "may" be forwarded to our specialist customer contact company - Resolve Call: that "may" request one of their contact managers to visit your home address.... I note they have still to default my account despite all this and months of non payment - come on! get on with it!
    07/09/10 - "dont you think about coming to my house, muppets." letter sent.
    08/10/10 - Finally! EGG has defaulted me, but it gives me 28 days to pay 1800 arrears before the default is registered with credit ref agencies. It says from 29/10 they will demand full settlement etc, instrunt solicitors or debt collection agency, terminate agreement etc.
    07/12/10 - Account now with CDUK (a trading style of Improved Financial Solutions Ltd), they have been auto phoning me for about 6 weeks, with the odd real life person. Have now recieved my first threat-o-gram from them. "our client could take court action" etc and so on.
    11/12/10 - sent letter as advised by NIDs - dont threaten me with leagal action etc
    16/12/10 - Received phone message disputing my legal response above. Also received letter from Solicitors to a work address that pre-dates my legal letter above by a few days.
    05/01/11 - Receive about 2 missed calls from CDUK a week now, no postal contact recently. Yet to make formal complaint about harassment at work, but will do as advised.
    16/02/11 - bespoke Niddy letter sent off the Solicitors who have sent two letters to my work place.

    17/02/11 - It seems CDUK and their poxy solicitors have given up and returned the account to EGG. First contact from a new DCA, called ARC.
    3/11 - new DCA, ACC ltd. I copied the letters sent previous solicitors and DCA to new DCA with a note saying this applies to you too.
    13/3/11 - Letter response from new DCA to previous letters
    3/11 - Threat of Northampton court from DCA "solicitor" MR Munn. Responded with previous letters.
    14/4/11 - DCA have put account on hold while they investigate.
    24/5/11- letter from DCA "solicitor" Mr Trev Munn, same old letter, threat of Northampton court.
    13/6/11 - letter from DCA offering a settlement for a reduced amount if I get in contact within 14 days.
    09/09/11 - not a single call or letter in 3 months.
    3/11/14 - account dormant with the usual collector - see other egg threads for details. Currently at 4 yrs default!




    2. M&S CC
    Approx balance: 6.8k


    1/07/10 - sent first CCA request
    17/07/10 - received docs back (including original sig)
    They have sent what appears to be a true photocopy of my original doc signed and dated by me 7 years ago.
    26/07/10 - NID confirms this is enforceable. Darn it ;F- ..... as they have yet to default me (despite a number of threats that they would in 7 days) I am leaving well alone for now and waiting for it to be frozen/sold on etc. before I set up a minimum repayment plan.
    03/09/10 - Nothing new really to report, no phone calls, a letter every month saying you need to pay, we are going to default you soon.
    04/09/10 - Just to update, they *have* defaulted this account (on the 28/7/10)- I'm just spending Saturday night sorted through my paper work and this was the one letter I hadn't opened. Obviously.
    09/09/10 - not very exciting and no action needed, but letter received today - um, another Default notice. Useful.
    08/10/10 - a few letters from M&S this week, main one is a final demand - if you dont pay within 48hrs we *may* pass on to debt collection, who may call at your home, we will default your account with credit agencies (they already have, silly threat really).
    08/10/10 - "dont you think about coming to my house, you muppets." letter sent.
    16/10/10 - Letter received from DG Solicitors asking for entire balance within 14 days, or else they have been instructed to take legal action in county court.
    22/10/10 - Stalling legal letter sent to DG Solicitors to buy me a bit more time (who are an internal department at HSBC)
    7/11/10 - court docs received
    12/10 - offer made for monthly payment
    24/12/10 - cheeky court case in my absence, without my knowledge
    04/01/11 - letter requesting redertmination sent
    05/01/11 - letter recieved from creditors accepting my offer of monthly payment. I'm now filing this account as delt with, for now. A result of sorts.
    10/3/11 - still some loose ends to clear up with courts as DCA hadn't cancelled their action before accepting my offer of monthly payments.
    14/4/11 - loose ends cleared up, Court agreed with my payment offer. No more action needed on this account.




    3. CAHOOT CC
    Approx balance: 6.5k
    -- *** ACCOUNT closed, balance reduced to zero ***

    1/07/10 - sent first CCA request
    03/09/10 - no reply yet...... No default issued either yet. Received a phone call about once a month that I ignore from their repayments dept. They seem surprisingly laid back about this so I'm doing the same. I haven't sent a reminder letter, I think current NID thinking is they are in default of my initial request so to leave for now.
    08/10/10 - nothing still.
    07/12/10 - Not a sausage still. Nada. Nowt. Not even a letter or a phone call for a couple of months. I'm beginging to doubt they *really* love me.
    05/01/11 - Not receiving a single contact in any form on this account now. Long may it last.
    14/04/11 - It's still lasting!
    09/09/11 - threat of default *finally* received on this account - its the first contact on this account in over a year.
    2011 to 2014 - tumbleweed.....
    3/11/14 - BINGO! letter from lender says my account is to be closed, and the debt written off. No further action needed.

    Have a look at the agreement, does it say "Approved Limit" instead of "Credit Limit"?

    If so read this here: ---> Egg Card - CCA Flawed?

    In any case, respond with this asap: ---> viewtopic.php?p=182#p182

          Re: SLUGs UE diary

          Hi Niddy /y'all! Long time speak....

          I *finally* get to post an update on this old thread of mine...... updates added to first post in RED.

          Basically just their final final final FINAL demands really. This time they really mean it ok? ;N

          I cant see any action I need to take as yet, although should I send a letter to M&S now saying "dont you even think of sending anyone to my house"? ;N

            Re: SLUGs UE diary

            ...I've got questions about how to handle a Bank OD - is my thread here the place for it? (I'll delete/move if not)

            (short story: 4.5k approved OD, I have to go to the 5k 'reserve' every month, get 80-100 in charges becuase of this which means Im stuck in an enternal loop, as I can only afford to reduce it by 80-100 each month. Repeat to fade....want to know if its possible to write and ask them to hold off for say six months?)

                    Re: SLUGs UE diary

                    Ok, Morning!

                    Got a letter today from DG Solicitors in regards the M&S card (will update opening post after this post).
                    I guess its the standard stuff, although I was expecting their next move to be a debt collection agency not solicitors?? Comes from the "Pre-sue Unit" as well, just to scare you a little more...
                    In a nut shell:
                    " We act for M&S, you have failed to respond to them, we now demand full payment on their behalf. We have been instructed to take legal action against you in the county court to recover this debt if we do not receive the full amount. To avoid legal action you must pay the full amount due within 14 days of this letter. If you need time, we may be able to arrange this, call us - etc etc and so forth"

                    What is my way forward now, bearing in mind this is actually enforceable? Try and set up reduced payments now or hang on in there longer?

                    Cheers!

                        Thanks NID.

                        ....can I just clarify what I'm doing with this? Am I just extending a blag, trying to confuse them and give them something to do before action? At what point do I give in - When I get official court docs? ;Hmm

                          Pretty much yea, you're ideally wanting them to back down - however if you feel they won't then at any time that suits you call them and arrange a repayment plan.

                          If you want to avoid any possible action then call them, but it depends how far you want to go really.....

                            Hi NIDs,

                            Sending this letter today - but just updating this thread really with a bit of mildly interesting info - I did a bit of digging (erm, well, Google ) and it seems DG is still just an in-house department within HSBC, as is M&S money with which I have the card. So the debt hasn't gone anywhere yet really. I *really* want them to sell it on, as I think I will be in a strong position in about 6months+ to offer a F&F on this one.

                            Doubt this needs a relpy, just keeping my info ship-shape. Whatever that means.
