Hi,
I had a few phone calls today from companies claiming that if my credit cards were taken out before April 2007, I may be able to write them off due to mistakes made and these companies could do it for me.
I was not convinced and told them where to go. I did some research on the net and found that these companies claim there are able to do it, but you have to pay them as usual, some ranged from £195 for all your loans, or some £395 for each one. And a promise to give your money back if not successful.
I did even more research and found that its possible to do it yourself.
So guess what, I'm doing it ! well for my dad who has quite a few credit cards.
I'm going to put my progress here, and what I've done so far. So everyone can try themself if there want.
To begin, I firstly needed all the original credit agreement, its been highlighted that the agreements before April 2007 were not conforming the Credit Consumer Act 1974
This link provides more infor on this: Link
So I have sent Subjest Access Requests to each creditors requesting the original credit agreement. Which I've attached a template.
I sent this along with a £1 postal order as written in the letter, all recorded signed for, to each of the creditors
Just got to wait and see what there reply.
Theres alot of stuff on the net to say there got 14 days to supply the information if not then the account goes into dispute which means you dont have to pay and theres nothing there can do untill its supplied, but not too sure on this.
Anyone got any experiance or advise please post away.
I will keep everyone upto date on this, and see how I progress
