worried
Posted - 28 October 2009 : 15:05:13 my partner has an agreed overdraft limit of £4000 with barclays. when we moved house a year ago we forgot to change our address but we did make payments to ensure the balance was below it's agreed limit up until about 6 months ago. We realised recently that we have not been keeping an eye on the account and that we should contact them to check we are still within the agreed limit and if we had gone over the limit we were going to pay to get back within it. However they have stopped us being able to log online to see it and when we rang them they said the account has been closed? (yet we knew there was approx £4000 of the overdraft being used).
We have tried to ring and write to all different departments to make a payment to be back within the agreed limit but no one at barclays will help.
Then today got a phone call from debt managers ltd saying can we pay them £4300! er no we cant.. we are barely able to meet all our other minimum payments on cards and are looking into what is the next move for us. because we have kept up to date with all our other credit cards should we try and pay them something?
and what will the debt collectors do next? will they come to the house? my partner refused to give them our home address but they did take his work details. Will they visit him there. I think we should have given them the address so if they write to us we at least know whats going on? They said he will be taken to court if he doesnt pay - does this mean a ccj or will they file for his bankruptcy?
