Hi,
thank you very much for your e-mail.
Maybe they can give me advice on how to get Wescot to delete my debt.
I've promised them I'll start to pay them token-payments when I get my Jobseekers Allowance back.
Best regards,

Hi,
I have explained that in the e-mail where you have highlighted a sentence in red.
That your partner Capital One told me last year my signature wasn't mine.
And that you this year have lied about me not replying to your correspondence.
And that you have made me waste my time since your partner Capital One and yourselves haven't been able to accept my token-payment-offer like other companies like Swalec, DML and
United Utilities have accepted, almost a year ago.
This is sabotage, I think.
I suspect you and Capital One have a secret agenda here.
And you really should contact your English-teacher about this.
And it's a saying you have here in the UK, which says it's no excuse for ignorance.
So eighter you're ignorant or slow.
So I think you should perhaps find another job.

Hi,
this about that my debt has been deleted is something I'm still looking forward to hearing from you about.
Perhaps you should ask your old English-teacher for advice as to what my writings meant.

Hi,
ok, I don't think I have gotten their sort-code and account-number.
Do you know this?
I also sent you an update, on Saturday, after the e-mail you replied to now.
I'll paste that in this e-mail now.
PS.
Here's the update e-mail from Saturday:
Hi,/span>
I got a new income and expenditure-form in the post from you today.
From 11/10, with the reference D3/49597867.
I contacted your partned Capital One last automn, regarding my new budget.
I offered you a token-payment-agreement on £1 a month, untill I got a full-time-job.
Now you get back to me.
I'm still unemployed but I'm trying to set a business up, on my spare-time.
And the Jobcentre is 'messing' with my jobseekers allowance.
So at the moment, I have to say I don't have any income.
I could get back to you when I get the jobseekers allowance back.
And then I would offer you the same as last time, £1 a month in token-payments.
So any money I have left after token-payments each month I now buy furniture and other things for the flat with.
And I'm going to do that.
But I don't think it's right that I have to set up a new budget now, because your partner said my signature wasn't mine, and didn't accept my new budget, last year.
This has taken so much of my time now, so you should really just delete the debt, I think.
I'm on Ladders, so I have a high income-potential.
All the hours I've spent on you and Captial One should add up to arround the debt I owe you, I think.
So I'm looking forward to hearing from you that my debt with you has been deleted!
Hope this is alright!
Best regards,
Erik Ribsskog

Good morning Erik,
Thank you for contacting us about Wescot.
To make token payments to Wescot you do not need to fill in a giro slip. All you need is their sort
code and account number and also the Wescot reference number starting with DM or D3. You then need to go into your bank and ask them to send £1 payment to Wescot by bank transfer. They may reject the offer of payment but they won’t reject the £1 payment yousend and this will reduce the debt in time.
If you need any advice then please do not hesitate to call us.
Kind regards

Hi,
thank you for your e-mail!
I'm not paying token-payments at the moment.
It should be enought that I've explained about my situation.
I've offered Wescot a token-payment-arrangement like a 'million' times.
Because I've been offering Wescot, (and Capital One), a token-payment-arrangement since last year now.
So I hope this will be sorted now.
Best regards,

Hello Eric
Thank you for copying us in to the email you have sent to Wescot.
Please try not to worry about the contact you have received as this is a standard procedure
for creditors to take. Nelson Guest & Partners are an internal collections department who work on behalf of Wescot to collect the outstanding balance.
As you have contacted this creditor to advise of your current financial situation and
are making token payments, you are doing all you can at this time. If you receive any further contact regarding this matter, please advise of this.
I hope this is helpful and reassuring.

Hi,
on Saturday I got a letter from Nelson Guest & Partners Solicitiors, witch I attach a scanned copy of.
(Which I've done many times earlier).
I hope you can 'stop messing around' now, (like I think I have to call it), and just accept my token-payment-offer, like the other companies have done.
I don't understand why you do so much 'mumbo-jumbo' surrounding this.
I hope the CCCS can tell you to stop with your funny letters and just accept my token-payment-agreement, which I have offered you, a million times, (to exaggerate, but anyway).

Hi,
it should be D3/49597867, (like I wrote in the subject-line in the e-mail I sent you on 20/9).
I repeat my token-payment offer on £1 a month, like I offer all my other creditors untill I find new employment.
Hope this is alright!

Hi,
thank you for your e-mail!
Yes, I send a copy of this e-mail to Wescot as a reminder of my token-payment-offer, of one pound a month untill I find new employement.
Thank you very much for the help with this!
The information I sent to Capital One was a new token payment-offer after I had to move to Sunderland for some months last year.
Thanks again for the advice!

Hi Erick
Thank you for your email about your Wescot and Capital One accounts.
If you have concerns over the wording of the letter from Wescot, I would advise you to raise a complaint directly
with them.
The complaint procedure can take up to 8 weeks and if you are unhappy with any response they give you, you can raise
this further with the financial ombudsman service.
You don’t need to fill out the budget form that Wescot have sent you. You have advised them that you have already
completed a budget with us. Both forms cover the same areas. If you need a copy of the budget that you completed with us, please let me know as I can send this out to you. The budget can also be sent to Capital One.
I wouldn’t advise you to stop making payments towards the Wescot account. It is in your best interest and benefit
that you carry on making a token payment. It will show that you are willing to pay the account off.
If you don’t make a payment, the creditor can take further action.
I understand you would like to keep the contact in writing but it is also best that you call them to discuss your
concerns. This will eliminate any responses about them not receiving your letters.
You can ask for a Data Access Request from them which will provide you with all the notes made on your account. There
may be a charge for this request.
Can you advise me what information you sent to Capital One for them to reject your signature? If your signature hasn’t
changed, I would advise you to contact Capital One and ask for a further explanation, i.e. are they comparing your signature to the signature on the original credit agreement?
Again, you can ask for a Data Access Request to see what has been noted on your account and there may be a charge
for this request.
I hope this has been helpful.
If you have any further queries, please contact us on 0845 272 5400, lines are open 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday,
you can email us at client.service@cccs.co.uk.

Hi,
I've gone to business-school and letters shouldn't contain lies even if they are standard letters.
I'm not making a token-payment here, you haven't read up.

Hi Erik
Thank you for contacting us about your account with Wescot.
Creditors will often send standard collection letters out to you. Standard letters will include certain phrases that may not fit entirely, such as "we have not received a reply".
Unfortunately even though you are making a token payment we cannot stop creditors from contacting you. You should continue to keep your creditors up to date with your financial situation and offer them the most fair and reasonable offer you can.
It may be best to call your creditors and speak to someone directly. That way all issues can be discussed there and then.
If you have any further questions or need some more advise, you can call us on 0845 272 5400. Lines are open from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. You can also email us at
