Re: Third party dept collections

Re: Third party dept collections

I am sorry if I got the wrong intonation from your original post SanDiegoGirl, but it came over a little patronising.

Re: Third party dept collections

Unfortunately I owe over £10,000 so I would think they would feel that once I get work (fingers crossed) they would get their money back even if they have to wait a bit.

Re: Third party dept collections

Re: Third party dept collections

Re: Third party dept collections

Can they see the debt to a US debt collection agency though? That is what I

Re: Third party dept collections

I spoke to them last week and asked them what it would take to clear the debt but they wouldn't say. They want me to give them a breakdown of how much I get from unemployment and where my money goes...

Third party dept collections

Does anyone have any idea how much a bank would sell a loan to a third party debt collection agency in the UK. Guestimates on how much they pay per pound sterling for the debt?

I'm out of work...

Re: Father-daughter Dances

I love the Jerry Springer one of the little girl with two older teenage boys on either side of her. I think a DNA test on the show maybe on the cards in a couple of years. Haha :rofl:

Re: Men writing Christmas Cards?

My pet hate is not Lego, Legos or Lego Bricks but Math. It should be Maths, the full word is Mathematics not Mathamatic.

Wow that made me feel better, and the wife does the cards.

Re: Anyone know anything about the Consumer Credit Counselling service?
