Hi there
I had 500 pounds debt in the UK. I couldnt pay it in time and left to South Africa. My aunt has recieved a letter from a debt recovery agency addressed to me and sent it to my address. It had risen to 2400 pounds in literally 4 months. The letter threatens that they'll take my house. I don't know what to do as I can ill afford the new figure. And my aunt is receiving these lketters every 2nd week. I want to contact them to ask them to stop sending these letters to my aunt and perhaps negotiate to reduce the amount but I'm afraid that they will take my home. PLease help!!
