Has any 1 had dealings with this firm? i owe £1,100 with littlewoods mercers handling the debt. currently im going thru a iva still initial stages. have explained it to mercers and offered £5 per month until iva in place. they refused saying minimum is £35 they accept. even tho my other creditor EGG £7000 acepted £5 per month for now. any advice welcome Mark

Mark I don't have anything positive to say except Mercers handled my debt with Barclaycard and basically called me every week, with a threat of a doorstep collection. They didn't come, I didn't offer a token payment, although I am in no way saying that you shouldn't do. My IVA was approved last Friday and Barclaycard voted in favour of it! Just try and stay polite and let them know the various steps you are taking towards your IVA and hopefully it will be over for you soon.

hi thank you for that always useful to know. they have threatnned the same too. even though i wrote to them

Hi yes we had the same experience with mercers on behalf of bcard - we did not give anything while the iva was being prep - they will call, send postcards but lots of postings on this site confirming that they almost certainly will not to anything

Keep your chin up this is the worst period[:)]

thank you everyone for your support

Same here makss..Mercers/Barclaycard. I had a few letters and phone calls mentioning doorstep collections.
They didn't turn up (wouldn't have answered the door if they did!), but I do remember how unnerved it made me feel.
There's lots of good advice on this forum about this topic **.. maybe somebody who is slightly more computer literate will point you in the right direction.
All the best with your proposal, and hope things move swiftly.
