Hi, I have several creditors which are a couple of decades old and in a dmp. They are in my own name. My mother-in-law has recently given my husband some money which he has offered to give me (£3,500) if it will pay these creditors off as a FF settlement. The worry over these is making me ill. I also have a heart problem and several other health issues.
The debts are credit cards and one bank loan. They amount to £14,700 approx. I have one cc (now taken over by 3rd collector)) which has written to me on two occasions with a strange name though. This last letter is offering me a settlement figure of 40% They have my first name correct but it is addressed to Mrs ??(first name only) and Mr (initial & surname) ???- never heard of initial or surname. Do I send a FF offer to them with my own name or the incorrect names on the letter or send them a different letter altogether giving them my correct name? The account number is correct. Also, do I let the DMP know I am trying to finish these and continue my monthly payments (payment due this month) while trying to settle?
if you could help please
Advice would be welcome, thankyou
