I wish I shared your optimism
@Fester1 , I don't trust Cabot Financial (Ireland) Limited though. They recently purport to have accepted a settlement from me on a loan which I took out in 2007 to finance a car, to get to work. It seems the biggest mistake I made, was to work at all. Cabot hounded me with letters in 2015, and at that time I was paying EDF (trading as link financial), MABS, Credit union special accounts. MABS tell me recently that they closed ALL special accounts? Cabot Financial (Ireland) Limited sent me an email; "closed as settled" however, attached to that email, is a letter with an Outstanding Account Balance, and not of
€0.00. There is no clarity with regards the figures, the amount "forgiven" the amount repaid etc.
They also purport to have reported to the
CCR. That I will believe when I see an actual credit report, which has not been manifest, despite several applications.
