    Default Default Notice from Mercers

    Hi

    I have several creditors pursuing me for debt which I cannot pay due to redundancyicon and unemployment.

    I have been in arrears with Barclaysharks for the past 6 months now, I refuse to speak to them over the phone and have not made any contact via the post, I have not sent a CCA or SARicon request.

    Today I receive the following DN from Mercers..

    Page 1


    Page 2


    The DN is dated 10th August 2009 with a remedy date of 27th August 2009 although I received it today (13/08/2009)

    The envelope has a postage paid stamp on which is 1st class but no stamps to indicate when the letter was posted. I cannot prove that I received the DN today as it was not recorded delivery

    Can I please have comments on to its validity I.e are the dates and content in order.

    Thanks
    Pinny

    Hi Pinny,

    I suggest you send off a CCA request with the £1 fee immediately.

    Do you have your a/c statements for the last 6 yearsicon.

    If so, check for all penalty charges added to the a/c and put them onto a spreadsheet. See the Reclaiming Guide at Link No1 in my signatureicon.

    If you don't have all statements, you can get them with a SARicon enclosing the £10 fee.

    These should be sent separately to the BC Northants address, by Rec'd Del'y and keep copies of all letters.

    Default Re: Default Notice from Mercers

    Hi Slick

    I shall be sending a CCA and a SARicon request off in the morning. Going by http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...ml#post2330489 the DN is defective in that it does not allow 14 clear days for remedy and also the OC address is not in the DN.

    I hope barclaysharks/mercers terminate on the back of this

    Thanks for your input Slick, much appreciated!

    Pinny,
    can you show the letter that you sent mercers about the defective DN, was it legal jargon or straight forward?
    thanks

    Hi Indebt

    I sent in a cca request, I did not mention the defective DN as they have not terminated the account yet, I shall be holding the defective DN as an ACE up my sleeve
