Re: New and confused

I agree with pixie, I think you would have a fair chance of them accepting £200.
if your back is against the wall on this one and you have fought them off for as long as you can, then maybe it is time to draw a line under it.

I know we are all different in our circumstances and what a creditor will do with each individual case, but if it offers any consolation, I had a £10K debt that the owners accepted a F&F of just £2K !

Good luck with a positive outcome on this one, but before you jump in with an offer lets see what others think first. No claim form served so you have some time on your side yet.

Re: New and confused

I think it's worth a try but you haven't got the claim form yet.

Let's see what others think tonight.

Re: New and confused

Worth a try do you think?

[Pixie]

Re: New and confused

You never know...it's 25% of the debt.

Re: New and confused

No they haven't Pixie. We could only get about £200 at the moment so can't imagine they would accept that

Re: New and confused

Arc haven't hung about have they?

Would you be able to get together some money for a F&F on this?

Re: New and confused

Sorry, i did send the Threat by creditor Threat-o-gram-letter before action in May but didnt update my diary correctly. I'll get the new letter sorted and sent off. Thank you

[ScabHunter]

Re: New and confused

Some of those letters from Carter should really have been responded to, especially the one which threatened court, but, never mind as you successfully saw him off.

As this is a new leech on the block, I would respond with a version of the A/C Sold Whilst In Dispute letter, specially amended to replace the Sections 77-79 references with the appropriate legislation for overdrafts.

My limited experience of Arc (on the forum, not personal) suggests that they are highly argumentative, but also largely impotent.
