Five quid?

It shouldn't have been as much as that. Did you use standard second class recorded, or something else?

They wouldnt fit through the letter box thingy so they charged me for a small packet I think. Just checked £1.89 each they charged.

What size envelope did you use?

I've never been charged anything other than £1.45 (or £1 9s of proper British currency), and I've always used envelopes where the letter is folded to become a third of its original size.

I used the normal ones... like a bank statement would come in. But the letter went onto two pages and then I also enclosed a copy of the letter of offer I sent and a copy of the threatening letter that MCL sent me so maybe it was too thick.

On that note.. I have received replies.

Got a reply from Marlin dated 28th March, this arrived on Saturday. It thanks me for my letter and states they are investigating and will respond to the issues raised asap.

I also got a letter today from MCL, dated 27th March and I can only say.. they are LIARS. The letter states this:

Thank you for your letter. We confirm that our client does wish to resolve this matter with you without the need for court proceedings. We did receive your letter of 5th Feb and responded to that letter. We attach a copy of a letter we sent you on 14th Feb. We did not receive a response so we sent the attached letter dated 5th March asking you to respond. We did not hear from you and so letter before claim was sent to you.

You will note from the attached letters that our client has indicated it would accpt £912.38 in full and final settlement.. blhablah. If you cant pay then return the attached statement of means so we can determine whether £5.79 is a reasonable monthly payment for you to make.

They have given me 14 days to reply.

They have attached a letter dated 14th Feb saying my offer of £500 not acceptable but will accept £912.38 provided i pay it within 14 days. I NEVER received this letter and in any case they knew full well from my letter that i needed a month to get the money. The other letter attached is dated 5th March saying they havnt received a reply and asking me to fill in an Income and Ex form. I NEVER received that letter either.

MCL are LIARS LIARS LIARS. They have NOT sent me the two letters they say they have!!!

So.. they have given me 14 days to send back the income and expenditure form so THEY can decide what i can afford. Arrrghhh..... what now?

Cheers.. Pooks

Re: Pookies UE Diary

Your letter should still have fit through the letter box thingy. I'm sure I've sent ones thicker than that!

Not sure how you should respond (not feeling A1 today). I'll ask ScabHunter to see what he says.

Re: Pookies UE Diary

Sure somebody more qualified will be along soon.

What I would say though is despite the fact they are liars and have really miffed you off what the letter says to me is they are interested in doing a deal. They are sniffing money and it excites them.

I am no expert at haggling but seemingly you are at £500 they are at £912.38. Thats the two extremes. Maybe like going to the moon for some of us but to them its mere pennys.

14 days in this situation I would suggest is the DCA trying to induce pressure on you to do a deal. Its what hagglers do. Trying to get you to settle as the best deal now cause be gone in a minute. Mock auctions and all that.

If they really are interested a deal will be struck when a deal is struck.

Just my take on the letter. You have their attention.

Still morons and liars tho.

The woman at post office tried it though that fake post post thing they have and it wouldnt fit! Never mind eh.

Ok will see if SH can help, hope your feeling better soon Pixie

SH isn't online at the moment but I've PMd him asking him to have a look.

I'm not feeling ill - just rather peed off with things that are going on in my life.

Morons indeed Ken cos they lied about sending me letters and then issued a letter before action because I hadnt responded to the imaginary letters! I cant afford the £900 they want (which would probably give them about £850 profit) and i can only raise the £500 with a months notice. I dont want to fill in their Income and Expenditure form either, Marlin were happy to accept the £5.79 a month when i was using a dmc. I thought only a court could make you complete one. MCL are the type to go all the way, yes they are sniffing but they are like dogs with bones and I dont think they are interested in a deal breaker to be honest.. i think they would prefer to get me into court.

Re: Pookies UE Diary

If £500 is what you can afford, I would stick with that. They wont want to go to court over £400.

Yeah im gonna have to but they are not accepting it so guess we will need to come to a monthly arrangement figure with them but I really dont want to fill in the I&E form so not sure where to go from here.
