    Hello - I think this is where I introduce myself and say 'hello I am melksham'?

    I have huge debt, not enough incoming for CCCS to activate repayment plan, for 2 years have dealt with all creditors using financial hardship letters and payments. All 12 creditors happy paying them £5.00 (or so I thought) then got a letter from Restons saying they were acting for John Lewis and taking me to court unless debt settled or repayments but to provide a full financial budget. I telephoned them, completed budget then received second letter stating 'Given the balance due the offer is insufficient to halt the commencement of legal proceedings'. I telephoned immediately as I informed them I was doing my utmost for 2 years to NOT have CCJs as am self employed director and this will harm the business in already difficult times. Was told need to pay £250.00 per month which is not do-able especially as CCCS recommend all creditors should be paid the same! Any suggestions on how to stop this action?

    You could try sending an email explaining your plight to the CEO of the John Lewis Partnership, andy_street@johnlewis.co.uk

      Hi Melksham and welcome to LB!

      What was the debt to John Lewis for exactly a credit card, a loan or what? If regulated by the CCA, then we can bring a certain of pressure to bear onto them to accept your offer as they need to be seen to be being sympathetic to your problems.

      If, by taking court action, they are potentially jeopardising your ability to earn a living then they are really shooting themselves in the foot as CCJ or not against you, if you are unemployed then your ability to repay any debt obviously decreases.

      Let us know what exactly the debt is for and then we can think about the best way of tackling John Lewis.

        Who are the creditors and what for? Loans, credits cards, catalogues? If you can give a bit more info it would be easier to advise.
