so... basically c4c are non existent, i've not heard anything, and by chance i happened to google c4c and woahhh,. all this talk about administration,
i called shoosmiths today and told them i would be cancelling the direct debit as i have no idea where my monthly payments are going,
i'm well over the half way marker for my car and would like to change it, but i take it this wont be possible now because my credit agreeement is pretty much non existent now,
im not really sure where to go from here, i dont want these guys knocking my door demanding money, avelo and shoosmiths are debt collectors? how the hell do you pay a hire purchase to debt collectors,
how do i get legal advice for this situation,
i wont be paying a penny untill i've had confirmation from shoosmiths\avelo to were my money is going and if my credit file is still valid,
because lets not forget guys, we pay finance to improve our credit ratings
if anyone is out there please reply and let me know my best bet, if i cancel my direct debit will angry loan sharks come to my house.
moral of the story is
save your damn money and buy it out right !!!
Kind Regards

Firstly, whatever happens, your cars CANNOT be immobilised remotely as it is ILLEGAL. Secondly, Shoosmiths are charged with the collection of monies owed by people who still have outstanding finance with C4C.
These are the people you need to contact and find out where your money needs to go.
Last point. Consider the sheer amount of people who are all in the same boat, the multiple reports on here, FB pages created as action groups and then figure out just what an absolute logistical nightmare its is trying to find out who owes what. If the Direct debits are not going through or you have stopped payments don't be idiots by spending that money, put it to one side, you may well need to resume payments at some point.
