Statute barred & credit file enquiry

A question about : Statute barred & credit file enquiry

Hi guys,
Thanks for your interest in this matter. I hope I will get a lot of useful response to this enquiry.

I have some debt namely personal loan, credit card and overdraft which I defaulted on a couple of year ago. I am hoping to put this behind me asap and start building my credit history again.

The reason for my enquiry is that I defaulted on the debts in 2009. Based on 'call credit report' via noddle 1 or 2 or the debt wasn't recorded as default after 2 or 3 missed payments as expected.

A question about : Monday, 29th September 2014

When we start out on the DFW trail we do loads of big stuff that makes quite a difference to our situation. These include having our lightbulb moment, cutting up the credit cards and cancelling Sky and the gym .

But once we have done the bigger stuff, we often feel that we are not making the same amount of progress, when in fact the small steps are helping us form good financial habits and helping us get closer everyday to staying in control and becoming debt free, or staying debt free.

Hi. My hubby just rang 2 creditors to set up pay plans and they told him got sent back to the original companies and they have said we couldn't get in contact with him so just wiped th debt. Does this sound right. One of them he hasn't been in contact for a while but the other he has defiantly been paying in the last year.
Thanks for any help.

Best answers:

Best and most reliable debt management companies?

A question about : Best and most reliable debt management companies?

Hi

I've got myself into a bit of a pickle financially. And having checked all the options I feel debt management is the way I need to go.

CAP do not operate near me or I would have sought help from them. Which other companies are reputable and will pay my money on time and keep the harassment at bay?

Thanks.
