    Default Mbna- Virgin Cca (sold to Experto Credite)

    Hi All,

    Have today sent 'Account in dispute' to MBNAicon for my Virgin CC.

    Requested CCA on 29th April to which no response has been received, although this comes as now surprise from reading relevant threads.

    Won't hold my breath for a reply. Am still paying minimum payments but soon to become a struggle due to reduced working hours.

    Really want to offer F & F but if no CCA then maybe I will be in a better position to negotiate.

    Hi Anyone?

    Well up to now, heard nothing from them, not even an acknowledgement!

    So, reluctantly cancelled the DD today, so expect they will be in touch soon. Working reduced hours from this month so decrease in pay, want to offer F & F but if they can't be bothered to respond, why should I do anything?

    Didn't want to do too much damage on CRA's but wondering now if it really doesn't matter, wanted to look at re-mortgaging but lenders aren't lending anything, it seems!

    Can someone please tell me how to move this thread to the MBNAicon forum.

    Thank you

    Hi Anyone,

    Now getting a few calls from them, they start work early dont they! I did take one call and found it very difficult to understand what they were saying but I just refused to give any details to them and they gave up.

    Had a letter from Global Vantedge now but it says don't respond to address in New Delhi!

    Have drafted a letter from the library on here, do I just send it to MBNAicon as this is the only address on the letter for me to send a 'cheque' to.

    Of course there is a freephone number on it which I can call!

    The letter is unsigned but is for and on behalf of Aegis Ltd

    Well my letter got to someone as I have received a reply as follows:-

    'Thanks for getting in touch about the customer service recently received. It is something we take very seriously and we're sorry to hear it wasn't up to scratch on this occasion.

    We're currently looking into the matter and promise to get back to you with a full response in writing by August 10th 2009'.

    I find this a bit of a strange response but at least I got something and wait in anticipation for 10th August to arrive!

    Goodness! A letter, this may become of value so I will handle it with care!

    'Apologies for the delay in responding to you; however our investigations are taking longer than anticipated. We will issue a response by 7th September 2009'.

    Hi Any help much appreciated,

    Had reply at last today which I have attached.

    What to do next is the question.

    Write back with copy of original CCA request? Send another £1? Copy fosicon? Or SARicon?

    Must say, only had a couple of calls, so far from Virgin and they have been polite and not really pushed to get me to discuss anything on the phone but don't expect this to continue as I have now stopped payment.

    Ultimately want to get to a position to make offer of settlement to them.

    Did you send your original request by recorded delivery? If so, you should be able to prove whether or not they received it. You could also check if they cashed your £1 postal order.

    Hi manxcat,
    Thank you for taking the time to reply.

    Yes everything I have sent has been recorded delivery and my letter was signed for the day after, however I didn't keep a copy of the postal order or stub! Realised now that was a mistake and it's so unlike me not to think of these things.

    As long as you have the evidence of the signed delivery that would be enough to say they are in default for not providing you with your agreement.

    If you've sent them the account in dispute letter then just sit tight, wait, and don't let the harrassment calls and letters bother you. Until they provide the agreement they haven't got a leg to stand on.

    this is the sort of letter I expect to receive. I CCA'd in early May via Special, followed up with dipute letter and have sent 3 further reminders of account in dispute. They have not responded in anyway to any of my letters. I have retained all receipts and even kept the electronic signatures that you get on the royal mail website. I even had a phone conversation a month or so ago when an MBNAicon robot confirmed they had my letters.

    Still not one word in almost 5 months.

    Hi
    Thanks for posts, Redfish and meebroke.

    Have had other things to sort last couple of weeks but now back on the case.
    Had this letter today, seem to remember seeing the name of the sender mentioned on other threads.

    Anyone had any expericence of a letter like this and what sort of response to send (if any)?

    I am still awaiting CCA requested in April!

    hi,
    i received one of these ages ago,wrote back to them reminding they still needed to comply with my cca request,you could do the same or ignore it.
    It took MBNAicon 4 months to reply to my cca request and they send a default notice the same day.

    I really am bewildered as to why I've heard nothing at all from them. I'm just sending a reminder every time I get any letter from them at the moment, with a copy of my original CCA request. 5 months and still not one word.

    Hi

    Now received this from them.

    I have blown up what they allege to be the CCA, its practically impossible to read it.

    The snakeskin makes me wonder if I did this application online, I really can't remember.

    The APR's quoted are around 13% but mine is now in excess of 34%! How can they warrant this? Until July this account was paid without problems.

    Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

    Have a look here to see if it matches any of the agreements - http://consumeractiongroup.co.uk/res...lication-forms

    Also, have a look at these links which may help you decide on the enforceabilty of the paperwork (courtesy of 42man & steven4064) -

    Thank you supasnooper, will take a look.

    The other thing I noticed is that the snake skin is page 447 of 924, so guess if I sent SARicon I would expect a lot of papers!

    Well as advised Supasnooper had a look at other copy agreements on the link you posted and it appears that the one sent to me may be enforcible, however legibility is questionable.

    So, what to do next, is my question.

    Think I will respond to the combined balance letter I received to remind them of my dispute with the one CC and respectfully request a legible copy of this one, together with T & C's applicable when the CC was taken out.

    Unless anyone has any other suggestions please.
