Change yr number. The more u answer their call or read their message they will tell other UML to disturb you becos they know u pick up their call. So best change number. Even after many years you will still get sms and watapps message to all their previous clients in one chat grp and scolding people to pay.

The first week will be tough on you, your NOK and possibly your company. Just keep everyone informed and tell them to update you on the situation that they're facing. If it's the barrage of calls from AL, tell them to block all numbers on WhatsApp and on their phone. On your side, do the same, or better still, change your phone number.

Since you have already reported to police, make sure to install a CCTV outside your home as well. After that, hunker down and prepare for the love letters, locked doors, splash paint and set fire. May or may not happen, but just be prepared in case.

1 lml called me sounded really pissed off. Saying already gave me 3 days but still no payment. Told him i have financial problem he dont care. Asked me to borrow from family or friends if by today 5pm never pay he said i talked to the collector he dont want to talk to me. Last night i went to silver lining the counsellor must wait for a week for them to review my case.

Have you went for the 2nd "interview"? Meanwhile, tell the lml that you really cant afford to pay and have seek silver lining help. They would heard of silver lining before cos they have helped many ppl nego previously. Might give a bit of leeway but be prepare for the collectors to visit you. Impt thing is, when the lml call, pick up, explain, apologise and ask for more time while they nego the repayment amt for you. Avoiding their call will only make things worse.

DRS is based by total amount of debt divided by 57months. No interest. The agency will help to get lower monthly repayment based on my monthly expenditures.

Eq total debt $35000 ÷ 57mths = $618 monthly payment.

Does the agency charge you a fee?

Some time losing a job is better than harassing and suck dry by AL. Afterall, all monthly salary also not enough to service ah long payment, must as well lose the current job, start from 0 base, look for another job, and get to keep 100% salary.Even if it is a lower salary, its better than present negative income.

2nd interview not means still a few weeks before they can confirm anything. But since you already on drs, then just go with it. As for the debt collectors coming to your place, no choice, just bear with it

Ok so is 100% without interest but not Bankruptcy status. Better than DMP with 5% interest per year.
