Hi
I posted up a while ago about a CCA request I had sent to Sechiari Clark & mitchell regarding a so called debt with Lloyds TSB, this was back in September 2006, nothing back. A couple of months later it's now with AIC, I sent them a letter saying that this alledged account is in dispute but they still phone (I don't answer their security questions) and they have sent the usual thretening letter...What should I do, send the same non-compliance letter again? or another CCA to them, resetting the time scale?

My Lloyds loan is being dealt with by AIC. I think they must have bought some old Lloyds Accounts. I sent a CCA request to AIC on 7th March and I've heard nothing since, I am just sitting tight as they obviously haven't got the Agreement. I haven't heard a peep out of them since the 1st phone call when they were really intimidating and trying to use scare tactics like to trying to bankrupt me.

Hi let me tell you a story about AIC. About 4 years ago I had an account with Captial One. AIC took it over and a guy there phoned me on my business number at home as I was working from home in those days. However, the call was recorded. The guy was really unkind and then said "if you wont deal with this will you get your daddy to come on the phone and fight your battles for you?" At this point I flipped as my Dad died 18mths before hand and that was totally out of order. AIC denied this ever happened until I sent them a copy of the call recording. Capital One apologised profusly but AIC never did. best of uck with them, they are hideous.

Send a CCA to them as well (rec. delivery). Often, when one DCA cannot comply, the account is then sold on to a different one. Non-compliance of a CCA request will normally stop any court action being taken against you (if that is their intention), so for the sake of £1 and the rec. delivery postage, send one off.

how old is this debt?
the other thing to bear in mind is they are a DCA
THEY HAVE NO POWERS!!
if necessary fire off a telephone harrassment letter to them to.
if they phone again, respond by saying until you prove to me by fwding a copy of my signed agreement as requested [date xxxxx] i do not recognise i have a debt with you.
as the other gent says, they are just chancing their arm. ignore them, it will never standup in court,

DCAs have been known to go for a CCJ on the assumption that an individual will not defend. If a CCA request is made and a DCA defaults in that request, then it won't stand up in court.... until they can produce it. Until a CCA request is made however, a DCA could go for a CCJ "through the back door", so to speak.

Thanks for all your replys. looks like I'll be sending them a CCA, I've read a fair bit on here what AIC are capable of. Interestingly, I had a phone call from them a couple of weeks ago, when I answered it rang them? I hung up before they answered the call? I suppose thats one way of getting money!
