Hi All,
Sadly I recently lost my father. He left behind some debt, which was all rolled into a payment plan. The payment plan was handled by a solicitors firm who went bust, and it seems that the debts were handled by the various creditors. Most were paid, however two remained; Restons solicitors (arrow Global?) and DLC. I believe both related to credit cards and were approximately £3K and £2K respectively. Fairly modest, and the vast majority of the debt (it was significant at one point) has been paid.
I have provided copies of the death certificate to both.
Restons responded kindly with condolences stating that they have closed the file and returned it to their clients. I don't know what that means. Is it closed proper? Are their client likely to seek payment?
I haven't heard from the others as yet.
I have heard/read conflicting information on debts and death, my understanding is that they stand and if there is an estate, they will need paying after the funeral costs are paid. Is this correct? How do debt collectors go about this?
