  • Oct Revolution's UE Diary

    Hi Niddy and fellow UE friends,

    I’ve been reading the posts/diaries on this site for a few weeks now (previously on MSE) and have come to the conclusion I too must go down the UE route.

    Briefly, I’d never missed a payment to my creditors (although only ever min. payments) but high interest rates were crippling me; I was then made redundant and found myself robbing Peter to pay Paul; my debts just grew and grew with the min payments not even covering the next months’ interest charges. So I finally sat myself down and faced my debt problem. I contacted NDL who advised my best option was to offer £1 payments to my creditors with a view to going BR.

    Before I could go BR I would need to save up for the fees, so I began paying £1 token offers to all creditors last year but the majority have now defaulted me and passed me onto DCA.

    One creditor offered me a F&F settlement of 35% - which I could not afford to pay – but got me thinking what would be the lowest offer they would accept, so I posted on the MSE site to see if anyone had any previous experience or knowledge. The final reply on my thread was from “Never-in-Doubt” asking me to have a look into UE and his previous posts. If I was going BR then I had nothing to lose.

    So since then I’ve been reading the posts on both MSE and this site and have primed myself to go for UE with your help Niddy (and others).


    I have today sent off for my credit file from the 3 CRA and will post again when I get them back with my details for help and advice.

    Thanks in anticipation,

    October Revolution

      Re: October Revolution's UE Diary

      Good luck - we all started off in the same / similar position to you - I know I certainly did & soon stopped paying the token payments once I came round to Niddys way of thinking.
      You have taken the biggest step & I know it is scarey but it gets better,quite quickly - believe me.
      Stick with it & you will learn how to deal with it with the help of Niddy & others on here.
      Remember - its only numbers on bits of paper & when you sit down and work out what you have paid to date - they have mosst likely already had their money back.
      It will be a massive load off your shoulders & mind.
      Good luck!

                Re: October Revolution's UE Diary

                OK I've now received my credit report from 2 CRA with 1 still to arrive.

                I have enough info to now post my details (only info I have not got is for Barclaycard, but I can get that from my own records).

                I will work through them and post soon.

                Just for further info ALL creditors/DCA are currently accepting token payments of £1 a month with no contact from them by post or phone (at thr moment), just the odd statement now and again.

Niddy says send a cover letter saying "see attached" and send a copy of the last letter, ie the threat of litigation from earlier in may (12th?)- letter sent

                  21/06/12 - Letter rec'd from DG Solicitors: "...despite previous demands you have failed to pay this debt...unless immediate payment is made we have been asked by our client to instruct DCA to recover...it is possible there may be another solution...our client is willing to offer a discount of 20% to the amount outstanding and accept this sum as F&F as long as paid in 10 days...if you can pay this discounted sum contact us to arrange payment..." NID says send "CCA query - Creditor refusal to accept UE" - letter sent.

                  02/07/12 - Letter rec'd from Metropolitan: "...your acc is being transferred to our CENTRAL DEBT RECOVERY UNIT...they will contact you to arrange payment...". I will file and see what I get next from them.

                  18/07/12 - Letter rec'd from Central Debt Recovery Unit: "...WE WILL BE REVIEWING YOUR ACCOUNT FOR FURTHER ACTION...if you wish to prevent this call us...". I will ignore and see what they send next as they have not responded to my last letter.

I will file and see what they send/do next.


                  24/08/12 - Letter rec'd from Metropolitan: "...your acc is being transferred to Wescot Credit Services who will contact you in next 14 days....". I will file and await their letter

                  31/08/12 - Letter from Wescot (as expected): "...been instructed by our client to collect outstanding balance...to avoid further action you should pay the debt in full OR contact us...". I2D says to send "account sold whilst in dispute" template letter - letter sent.

                  12/09/12 - Letter rec'd from Wescot: "...FINAL NOTICE...our latest enquiries are that you are resident at this address...as no reply to our previous letters we now require full payment in 10 days...failure to do further collection activities will be taken...may result in legal action being taken against you...or refer debt to doorstep collector...contact us immediately...". I2D says send "Threat o gram before action letter"

                  20/09/12 - Letter rec'd from Westcot: "...acknowledge you have a query on account...we will investigate and get back to you...may take several weeks...all collection activities will stop whilst being investigated...". I will file and see what they come back with next.

                  15/10/12 - Letter rec'd from Wescot: "...we have contacted our client who say have sent you many responses to this query as you have had advised not received any...we believe dispute is now resolved...full balance or agreed monthly insalment is now required...please contact us...". I will ignore and see what happens next.

                  08/11/12 - Letter rec'd from Westcot: "....DOOR STEP COLLECTION NOTICE....we know of no genuine reason not to repay this debt....instructions will now be provided to our agent to visit your home to agree payment plan....you have a final opportunity to avoid this by contacting us IMMEDIATELY to arrange repayment....". I2D says to send "Doorstep Visit" template - letter sent.


                  06/12/12 - Letter rec'd from Metropolitan: "...your account is being referred to Buchanan Clark & Wells who will contact you within 14 days...they have specialist teams and a range of plans specially designed to meet your needs...". I will file for now and await contact from them.

                  08/12/12 - Letter rec'd from Buchanan Clark and Wells (as expected but quicker than I thought !): "...our clients have informed us they see no legitimate reason for non-payment...we have been granted access to your financial information held with CRA and will be monitoring this along with data from other sources to assess your ability to solve this matter...imperative you contact us...we are able to offer support...please do not ignore this matter...". "account sold whilst in dispute" letter sent

                  19/12/12 - Letter rec'd from Buchanan Clark & wells: "...we regret to note balance is still outstanding...please contact us...we will be able to offer you support, advice and be sympathetic to your circumstances...all we ask is you contact us...please do not ignore this matter, we are ready to help...". Their letter is dated 12th December so I'm assuming it's crossed with my "acc sold whilst in dispute letter". I will file and await their reply.

                  20/12/12 - Letter rec'd from BCW in response to my "acc sold whilst in dispute" letter: "...we have undertaken substantive investigation and refute your claim...we act in good faith...at no time were we advised account was in dispute by our client...your comments are noted but would not consider our actions to be as you describe nor contrary to legislation you quote....we have requested a copy CCA from our client and will cease collection until you receive...upon receipt of CCA if you wish to further dispute account please furnish us with details and documentation...otherwise contact us to discuss payment options...". I will sit tight and await for the said copy CCA to arrive and then take it from there for the next course of action.

                  05/02/13 - Duplicate statement of account rec'd - out of the blue - and not sure who it is from. Just a 2 page computer print out of "historic statement" detailing when the account was closed and passed to a DCA and showing zero balance. Envelope is handwritten and no covering letter or compliment slip enclosed. I will just file and see what happens next.

                  21/02/13 - Received call from Buchanan Clark & wells - which I answered !! - I don't normally answer the phone to numbers I do not recognise but this one came up as a local call with local dialing code!! so I answered. Caught off guard. They didn't seem well versed they kept putting me on hold. The upshot of it all was that they asked when I could make payment and I said I'm waiting for CCA as per their letter of 20/12/12 -said they will have to get back in touch with their client and put the phone down on me..................! Anyway will wait and see what they send or do next.

                  25/02/13 - Letter rec'd from BCW: "...we are here to help...make us an offer...once payment plan is in operation we will not phone or write to you for a minimum of 6 months...please contact us...". I will file for the time being and see what happens next.

                  27/02/13 - Getting 3-4 calls a day now from BCW - but not answering. Will send them the "Telephone Harassment" template and see what comes of it.

                  05/03/13 - "Telephone Harassment" letter delivered yesterday and also received a call from them - Referred them to their letter of 20/12/12 and asked why on the one hand they are saying collection activity will cease but on the other hand they are harassing me. I advised them to stop harassing me with 4-5 calls a day and asked for my number to be removed from their system and that I would only communicate in writing.

                  08/03/13 -Letter rec'd from BCW: "...we write with regard to recent communication...confirm your concerns have been noted on our system and are being investigated...I can confirm a "cease all action" instruction placed on account...". I will file and see what they do next.

                  30/03/13 - Letter rec'd from BCW: "...we have noted your comments...removed your telephone number from our system...do not consider our actions as harassment...can confirm HSBC have instructed us to withdraw from the matter...we have closed our file and returned to HSBC therefore no further contact from ourselves...". I will file this letter for safe keeping.


                  03/05/13 - Letter rec'd from HSBC: "....acc has now been assigned and transferred to MKDP LLP who have appointed MKRR as their servicing agents....all contact/payments should be directed to MKRR....". Also in same envelope letter from MKDP stating they have bought interest in account and are now legal owner; have appointed MK Rapid Recoveries to manage account.....". I will file for now and await further contact from MKRR.

                  16/05/13 - Letter rec'd from MKRR: "...further to recent communication we have not received your offer of payment...we want to help you...please call to discuss ways we can help...until we reach agreement we will continue to contact you by phone/letter so we advise you contact us...". "acc sold whilst in dispute" sent plus telephone harassment letter.

                  31/05/13 - Letter rec'd from MKRR: "...regardless of our attempts by telephone and letter we still have not received your offer of payment...we want to help you...until you contact us we are unable to help and may need to take further action...". As they have not replied to my "acc sold whilst in dispute" letter of 16/05/13 I will ignore and see what they send/do next.

                  03/06/13 - Letter rec'd from MKRR: "...thank you for your recent communication... unable to resolve your query at present...we will be conducting a review...we will be in contact with you regarding resolution...". I will file and see what they send/do next.

                  12/07/13 -Letter rec'd from MKDP: "...apologise we are unable to resolve your query...we are currently liasing with the original creditor and will contact you when we receive a response...". I will file and see what they send/do next.

                  15/07/13 -Same letter again - as last - from MKDP: "...apologise we are unable to resolve your query...we are currently liasing with the original creditor and will contact you when we receive a response...". I will file and see what they send/do next.

                  27/09/13 - Same letter again: "...apologise we are unable to resolve your query...we are currently liasing with the original creditor and will contact you when we receive a response...". Which I will ignore.

                  BUT ALSO

                  27/09/13: Another letter from MKDP dated same: "...accept this letter as final response...understand you believe acc is in dispute...we have contacted oC and they have confirmed they have no record of unresolved response on record...so do not regard acc in disput and normal collections will begin in 14 days...if you still believe you have genuine dispute please provide documentation within 14 days...". I will ignore and see what they do next.


                  30/10/13: Letter from MK Rapid Recoveries: "...FINAL NOTICE...as you have not taken up our offer of help and as a legal requirement we are informing you that we are instructing our pre-legal dept to review your acc for further action...they may commence litigation which may increase amount payable...it is not too late to resolve this matter ...contact us immediately...". Deepie says send "Threat o gram - letter before action" - letter sent.


                  15/11/13 -Letter rec'd from MKRR: "...despite previous communication from us...full payment or arranged payment plan as not been agreed...we have no option but to refer your account to Keynes Collections for litigation consideration...contact us within 7 days or the escalation team may take appropriate further action...". I will ignore and see what they do next/await contact from Keynes Collections.

                  20/11/13 - Letter rec'd from Keynes Collections (as expected): "...NOTICE OF INTENDED LEGAL ACTION...you have failed to respond to previous correspondence or agreed a payment plan...we are instructed to collect balance...the amount is now due...this letter constitutes demand for payment and is in accordance with Practice Direction - Pre-Action Conduct of the Civil Procedure Rules...this letter requires your immediate attention...unless payment/plan agreed in 14 days, legal action to recover the debt may be taken...we suggest you give this matter your urgent attention and seek independent legal advise...".
                  Threat by Creditor - To Commence Litigation letter sent

                  10/12/13 - Claim form rece'd from Northampton County Court Bulk Centre: MKDP LLP are now claiming for the full balance to be paid. "You have a limited time in which to reply to this claim form".

                  POST MOVED TO LEGAL SECTION

                  05/09/14 - Update: MKDP's application has been "struck out" because they had no documents. The solicitors and MKDP are finalising the details then I'm told I should receive a letter from solicitor saying "that's that". Although, if they do come across docs at a later stage they can try again - although after 4 years and no docs I'm hoping they still can't find/locate them. Many thanks to Niddy, Deepie and Andrew (in the early stages) without whose help I would not have reached this position. Thanks everyone !

                  11/12/15- Letter rec'd from MKDP: "your account has now been sold to Hoist Portfolio Holding 2 ltd.....you will shortly receive a Notice of Assignment confirming new account number and who to contact about your account...". Then on

                  18/12/15 - letter rec'd from Robinson Way along with NoA from Hoist. The Robinson Way letter goes on to say: "...we act as collection agents for our client...we offer a flexible approach to repaying your account...please contact us by 25/12/15 to let us know which payment option is best for you...we are aware that legal activity has previously been taken in respect of this account. Our clients solicitors, Howard Cohen and Co, will be applying to the court to change the name of the claimant to Hoist and they will write to confirm.....". I will wait and see if Howard Cohen and Co get in touch.

                  07/01/16 - Letter rec'd from Robinson Way (dated 30/12/15): "...above account remains outstanding...need to agree affordable payment plan based on circumstances...please contact us before 10/01/16 to tell us what YOU can AFFORD...". I will ignore for now and see what happens next.

                  23/01/16 - Letter rec'd from Robinson Way: "...we want to work with you and agree an affordable arrangement - please complete attached financial statement detailing your income/expenditure and proposed repayment......". I will not be filling in and returning the financial statement and I think the best option is to ignore for now and see what happens next.

                  07/04/16: Letter rec'd from Howard Cohen Solicitors: "...we write further to advise Hoist Portfolio Holding 2 (HPH2) are now the legal owners...we are instructed on their behalf to act in all litigation matters and send this letter for information purposes...to do so we have submitted an Application to the court to substitute the claimant detais from MKDP to HPH2, because our client are now the legal owners and the Order further confirms that we are on the court record and acting on it behalf...we request you continue to deal with our clients agent Robinson Way....". I assume this is for information purposes, as Howard Cohen state, and is just telling me that the account/debt as been assigned from MKDP to HPH2. And that I do not need to do anything. Planb says original claim "dead in the water" so will be IGNORING for the time being.

                  11/05/16 - Letter rec'd from Robinson Way: "...your account still remains outstanding, we want to help you...Our client will accept 50% settlememt to clear the balance in one payment...If unable to pay lump sum we can arrage monthly instalments or tell us what you can afford to pay...". Looks like they may be getting desperate as the months tick away to SB and its been to court once before and struck out. Ignoring for now.

                  11/11/16 - Letter rec'd from Robinson Way: "...we have contacted you on several occasions but not heard from you...we want to help you clear this debt...typically, when a customer does not contact us we may consider the following options...1. refer to client's solicitor to issue CCC, which could resist in court judgement...2. report to CRA as unpaid (if less than 6 yrs since default date...3. try to contact you by phone using all numbers on record including work numbers to discuss....these options are a last resort...please contact us within 7 days.....". I won't be contacting them as I'm ignoring and will wait to see what happens next.

                  28/11/16 - Letter rec'd from Robinson Way: "...affordable payment plan ... to help you manage your account here are some affordable payment plans for you to consider...". They then go on to offer 3 payment options - I will ignore and see what they send next.

Errrrr, no thanks, can't see how it will benefit ME when the account has been to court and struck out and is also SB. I will ignore and see what they do next.

                  19/01/17 - Letter from Robinson Way "...are you worried about contacting us?...contact us so we can help work out best wat to deal with this...1, agree affordable payment plan; 2, agree a reduction in amount owed and reduced settlement plan; 3, if in financial difficulties discuss support solutions; 4,any queries contact us and we can help...".

                      03/08/12 - Letter rec'd from Westcot: "...refer to your recent communication...we have contacted our client who have advised they have no record of a CCA request for this account...dispute now resolved and full balance or monthly payments now required...please contact us...if you still believe you have valid dispute contact us in 14 days otherwise acc will be returned to our recovery team...". Not sure what to make of this as my CCA request was sent on 06/10/10.

                      09/08/12 - "Creditor refusal to accept UE status" letter sent

                      22/08/12 - Letter rec'd from Westcot: "...acknowledge you have a query on account...we will investigate and get back to you...may take several weeks...all collection activities will stop whilst being investigated...". I will file and see what they come back with next.

                      03/10/12 - Letter rec'd from Wescot: "...we have contacted our client who have provided the documentation you requested...we believe dispute is now resolved...full balance or agreed monthly insalment is now required...please contact us...". I will sit tight and see what they do next.

                      27/02/16 - Letter rec'd from Tesco: "... your account as been asigned to HOIST Portfolio Holdings 2 Limited (HPH2) who have appointed Robinson Way to manage your account...you may be contacted by Robinson Way to discuss your circumstances and agree suitable repayment plans...". I will ignore for now until I hear from Hoist or Robson Way and then take it from there.

                      01/03/16 - Didn't take Hoist/Robinson Way long to get in touch: Letter from Hoist stating they now own account and have appointed Robinson way to manage account. In same envelope letter from Robinson Way: "...helping you to clear your account...please contact us now to help find a suitable solution...". As none of the letters are threatening and the Rob Way letter does not give me a timescale in which to reply by/get in touch, I will hold fire on sending the SWID letter and wait for their next letter to see what to do next, all the while the SB clock continues to countdown.

                      15/03/16 - Letter from Rob Way: "...we have a range of payment options....which is the best for you? ...contact us within 7 days to discuss....". I will ignore and await the next communication.

                      24/03/2016 - Letter from Robinson Way: "...Settlement Offer Available - important you get in touch to tell us about your situation. If we don't hear from you we will have to make a decision on what happens next: whether to advise our client to instruct Howard Cohen & Co solicitors to commence legal action, OR continue with collection activity, letter and calls. Alternatively, our client will accept a 25% reduction in the balance outstanding to clear the debt in one payment.....please contact us...". As no threat is mentioned I think the best course of action is to ignore for the time being and see what happens next.

                      16/05/2016 - Letter from Robinson Way: "...above acc remains outstanding and we need to agree an affordable payment plan based on your circumstances...please contact us to discuss and take control today...". No threats and just seems a run of the mill letter so will file and ignore and see what happens next.

                      31/05/16 - Letter from Robinson Way: "...WHY HAVE YOU NOT CONTACTED US...we do not currently have a payment plan or agreement...please contact us to discuss your circumstances...". As no direct threats are mentioned I will file, ignore and see what happens next.


                      10/06/16 - Letter rec'd from Robinson Way: "...our client has advised they will accept 66% settlement to clear the balance in one payment...please contact us..." As no direct threats are mentioned I will file, ignore and see what happens next.

                      04/08/16 - Letter rec'd from Robinson Way: "...Pre-legal assessment...acc remains unpaid and is now being considered for legal action...your acc may be transferred to Howard Cohen & Co in 10 days...the best way to understand your circumstances is to contct us to agree affordable payment plan...if acc transfereed to HC&C and court action is taken costs and interest may be applied...contact us..." Advised to send SWID letter - letter sent.

                      20/08/16 - Letter rec'd from Robinson Way in response to my SWID letter of last week. They acknowledge the dispute/query and will make necessary enquiries, in the meantime all collection activity will stop. I will await the outcome of their enquiries.

                      19/12/16 - Letter rec'd from Robinson Way in response to my SWID letter of 4/8/16: "...your recent request...still not received a response from original creditor....we are continuing to seek an update...all action on your account temporarily stopped while we await resolution...". I will file and await their further response.

I still have not received my CCA for this account.

                          19/02/11 - CCA received from Barclaycard Visa; It just looks like old and new T&C’s.
                          22/02/11 - Nid says send CCA Query "T&C's supplied" template.
                          22/02/11 - Above letter sent

                          Letter sent.

                          07/05/11: - letter from Barclaycard Visa ref my last letter to Calders on 30/03/11: “can not uphold my complaint….do not agree doorstep visit will breach any laws or regulations….Calder will use all available means to contact you…." NID says ignore.

NID says ignore.

                          21/07/11 - Letter rec'd from Barclaycard: "....acc has now been assigned and transferred to MKDP LLP who have appointed MKRR as their servicing agents....all contact/payments should be directed to MKRR....". Will ignore for now.

                          24/08/11 - Letter received from MKRR:
                          “…writing in regard to outstanding balance, with objective of finding resolution of debt….ignoring letter will make situation worse….we can offer payment arrangements….if you ignore we are left with no option but to continue collections activity….” in 2 deep says send "Account sold whilst in dispute". Letter sent

                          06/09/11 - Letter rec’d from MKRR in response to my “Acc sold whilst in dispute” letter:“….at this time unable to resolve your concern….we will need to liaise with Barclaycard and will contact you as soon as we receive response….we are unable to return acc to Barclaycard as the acc was assigned and transferred to us which means we are the effective owners….”. I will ignore and see what happens next.

                          05/11/12 - Letter rec'd from MKDP; "...we write further to our letter of acknowledgement and apologise we are still unable to resolve your query...we are still liasing with Barclaycard and will contact you soon as we receive a response...".Wow they are taking their time - last I heard from them was 14 months ago (06/09/11) - I can only assume they are unable to locate my CCA. I will file and wait to see what happens next.

                          22/03/12 - Letter rec'd from MKDP: "...please accept this as a Final Response...you advise account is in dispute as Barclaycard have not provided CCA...we raised concerns with B/card who say request was complied with in September 2012...we no longer regard account in dispute and will continue with collection activity...please contact us...". Not sure where they get the response from Barclaycard in September 2012 as the last I heard from B/card was 21/07/11 and last letter from MKDP was 05/11/12 saying they are unable to resolve my query. I2D says to send "Final Response - UE General". - Letter sent 25/03/13

                          27/03/13 - Letter from MKDP: "...we apologise as we are still unable to resolve your query...we are liaising with Barclaycard and will contact you if we receive a response...". which has obviously crossed with the one I sent on 25/03/13. So from them stating only 5 days ago "Barclaycard had complied with request in Sept 2012 (which they didn't) and account was no longer in dispute and collection activity will commence" to today saying "unable to resolve query and are liaising with Barclaycard. Nice to know they don't know what they are doing. I will file and see what they send back in response to my "Final response UE" letter of 25/03/13

                          11/04/13 - Letter from MKRR: "...further to our letter offering help we have not received your offer of payment...without your cooperation we can not help...we may need to take further action to recover debt...please contact us...". Well not rec'd any letter from MKRR since 06/09/11 saying they are in contact with Barclaycard so why they think I should contact them is beyond me. I will file and ignore.

                          12/04/13 - Yet another letter from MKDP (in response to my letter of 25/03/13 "Final response UE") in which they state: "...we can confirm a final response was issued to you on 22/03/13 and no new info has been provided...complaints procedure now exhausted...you advise you require original signed copy of CCA and do not agree with one provided by Barclaycard...you remain liable for the outstanding balance...we request you contact us to arrange payment...". I will ignore nd see what they send next.

                          01/05/13: Letter, as expected from MK Rapid Recoveries: "...FINAL NOTICE...as you have not taken up our offer of help and as a legal requirement we are informing you that we are instructing our pre-legal dept to review your acc for further action...they may commence litigation which may increase amount payable...it is not too late to resolve this matter ...contact us immediately...". I2D/Niddy say send "Threat o gram - letter before action" - letter sent.

                          16/05/13 - Letter rec'd from MKRR: "...FINAL DEMAND...as you have not taken up our offer your acc now past to pre-legal dept... acc transferred to Raven Recoveries to resolve on our behalf...may involve applying for a CCJ...this is your final opportunity to avoid this happening...we do not want to take legal action...contact us immediately...". I will ignore for now as they have not responded to my "Threat o gram - letter before action" letter sent to them on/around 3rd May.

                          14/06/13 - Letter rec'd from Raven Recoveries: "...having not paid MKRR we are instructed to collect outstanding balance...payment in full required unless you can give a reason for not...contact us to re-pay...failure to do so in 7 days may assess your acc for further action". Niddy says send Creditor Refusal to Accept UE Status - allaboutDEBT UK letter sent.

                          25/07/13 - Letter rec'd from Raven Recoveries: "...despite numerous letters you have not paid...full payment is required upon receipt of this letter unless you can give us a reason for not paying...call us today...". I will ignore and see what they send next or if they reply to my previous letter (which I think they will not as it's now been over a month).
