Many people are now talikng about this new idea that you can write off your credit card and loan debt. It sounds too good to be true doesn't it? Actually it's not. It uses legialation going back to 1974 which was implemented to protect consumer rights. Following are some Frequently asked questions in relation to this topic. How does it work?The Consumer Credit Act of 1974 allows borrowers to challenge unfair credit agreements. Credit Agreements up to £25,000 and issued before 6th April 2007 must comply with the terms of the Act. Most UK banks and lenders have not followed their legal obligations under the Act over the years. This means that your credit agreements may be legally unenforceable. Recently, a high percentage of those agreements that have been challenged have been found to be unfair and unenforceable. The result is the debt can be written off as it cannot be collected. We have independent experts who review each case. We are supervised by a qualified insolvency solicitor with 17 years experience. We take details of your debts and our specialist legally qualified team challenge the agreements with the lenders. They obtain documentation on your behalf and then verify the legality of the contract. Our experts will then, via specific correspondence, prove that your agreement is not valid. As it is unenforceable, they will demand the card company to write off the debt. In any event you do not have to pay anything further as the agreement would be unenforceable. Our Debt Write Off Pack contains all the information and documents you need. You can request one from our web-site or by calling us on 0116217 1406. We can start your claim as soon as you return the required documentation and fee(s). Is it legal?Absolutely, 100% legitimate. If the banks and lenders do not follow the legislation, they are unable to enforce their agreements. We use the law to protect YOU, the consumer. The banks and lenders, however, don't want the general public to become aware that they may not have to repay their loans of credit cards.In what circumstances do these agreements not comply?Most lenders have not included all of the key points in their credit agreements. These are known as prescribed terms. In some cases, the lender may be unable to produce an original copy of the agreement. In each case the agreements will be unenforceable.How long will it take?This depends upon various parameters. First, your lender must produce a physical copy of your agreements within 42 days of our request. If they cannot do this, they are in default and your outstanding balance can be written off immediately. This could be a matter of weeks. Second, the response times from lenders to our requests for information and confirmation that the debt has been written off can vary. Typically 6-12 months should be allowed because the card companies are being very slow in providing the relevant documentation. Which type of debts can be written off?Provided they were issued before 6th April 2007, secured or unsecured loans including consolidation loans, credit cards and store cards and car loans/finance, up to £25,000.How much does it cost?£175 fee is payable for each agreement scrutinised by our legal team. The success fee for writing off your debt is 12% of the total. For credit cards this is payable in four instalments of 3% of the total, the equivalent of making four minimum payments on your card(s). The same applies for loans. The success fee covers all legal costs associated with your claim.Can I continue to use my credit cards?Up until you decide that you have a case for unenforceability you can use them. Should I continue to make payments to my credit cards/loans?Once your claim has been accepted and the account is in dispute, you can stop making payments. Many people do continue to make payments until the process has completed. What happens if my lenders contact me after I start a claim?Our experts will deal directly with your lenders. This should stop them contacting you to discuss the debt. If they do, you should not answer any questions or get into conversation but ask them to put any correspondence in writing. We might be able to use this to win your case.Are there any adverse repercussions?NO. It is highly likely that the lender(s) will close the credit card account, however, there are plenty more credit card companies available to you.Can I do this if I have a bad credit history?YES. Once we have helped you to clear your debts this will also help to clear your credit file as the debts will no longer exist.Will my credit rating be adversely affected?NO. Legally, once written off, the lender has to remove all trace of the account. Does it matter if I'm already in an IVA or Debt Management ? NO. This is a separate service and does not affect any other actions that you may have started. Can you also help if I have debt problems? YES. We can arrange for you to enter a debt management plan and challenge the cards and loans at the same time. Can I get a loan in the future? YES. Your credit rating will not be harmed in any way and so you can apply for credit. It is possible that the lender who wrote off your loan may not wish to lend to you.
