  1. Hi everyone - I'm in a sticky situation. I went to live abroad for some time in 2015 and I'm back now. I was sure before I left that my UK HSBC account was at 0 but it wasn't due to some overdraft that I gone into without knowing which later led to the account being closed. I just received a letter from Cabot today saying that I owe them a balance of £1347.86. I spoke to HSBC earlier in 2017 and they said to me that the account in question was closed and that I owed something in the region of £200 due to overdraft. I can't remember the exact details but I assume they said the debt was written off, otherwise I would've paid the debt right away then. This also makes what Cabot are saying quite confusing because they're saying I still owe this debt and that the fee is larger than I was told by HSBC. I phoned Cabot right after I got the letter and they told me that it was probably Direct Debit that caused the fee to be so high. I had no Direct Debit and I never admitted liability. I asked whether they have the T&C's of the agreement I had with HSBC, to which they said no. I also asked if I could have evidence of the debt but they said they didn't have anything on their side and they'd need to make a dispute with HSBC. For that I said, I'll contact them myself and get the details so they'll put the account on hold. What do you guys think? Someone told me to get this all in writing sent to them either in email or post. Should I do that? Please let me know what to do since I have no idea! Many thanks in advance.
  2. Hi, I received a claim on 14th feb 2015 from Shoosmiths Solicitors on behalf of Cabot. I had already sent a CCA request to Cabot on 30th Jan 2015 and they replied on 4th Feb 2015 saying that they currently do not have this information on file but have requested the information from the original lender. They anticipate the information will be provided within 40 days. I have acknowledged the claim at MCOL and I am posting a CPR 31.14 request to Shoosmiths in the morning , is there anything else I should be doing? Has anyone had any dealings with Shoosmiths before?

  3. Hi Can I get taken to court over the same debt twice? Have several debts, 2 with CCJ's but 6 years old early next year, paid monthly agreed amount but still balance will remain outstanding. With regard other debts, again 6 years and older, they have now dropped off my credit report and all bar one have been sold to collection agencies....can they make defaulted again or take me to court to obtain CCJ? I paid monthly a small amount but have stopped since dropping off credit report. Cheers in advance.
  4. Hi there Hoping somebody can help me with a claim form I have recieved from Nottingham. I have been looking after my elderly mum at a different address for a week so Im in a panic as the claim form is dated 22nd July and from what I can see, I only have 14 days to respond. I dont deny I owe this money from way back but Im not sure the last time I had any contact with them, im sure I have put my head in the sand over this and now its come back to haunt me. The original debt was for Aqua credit card that I had in 2002, it was assigned to cabot in 2010. I havent had any notification from Restons or Cabot that it was going to court. The last letteer I had was from Cabot on the 7th June to say that Marlin was taking over the debt and a notice of change from Marlin, but no idea it was going to court. Is there anything I can do, or am I too late! The debt is for 1327 plus 80 solicitors and 70 court costs. Somebody told me it may be past the 6 years but after getting into debt when my husband and I split up, I did the really stupid thing of just throwing all letters away, so I have no idea when I last paid or spoke to them. Any advice would be much appriciated Thank You.
  5. Hi all, in 2008 I took out a secured loan of over £10k from Welcome and within a few years struggled to make the payments. The loan went to Cabot on Welcome's demise and then to Ascent. 2 years ago, instead of consulting this site(!), I started paying Ascent less than £100 a month (don't want to be specific, in case they're on here) and this has brought the amount down. The balance is still over £10k and there is a charge on my property. Having spoken to Ascent, I have asked for a settlement figure and they want and income/expenditure thing (not something I trust, it's just to see what they can squeeze out of you I think) before giving me one. I have offered around £4k. My main priority is to get the second charge removed. And hopefully for a substantial discount or nothing. Any advice from here please?!? I understand now that I shouldn't have paid them anything but as there is still a charge on my property I felt I had to.
  6. Hi, hope someone can help. This is in regards of a 'stayed' case from August 2016 Via the County Court Business Centre. Cabot/Restons At the time I requested documents those being: 1. Agreement/Contract 2. Default Notice 3. Assignment These never arrived within the period of 12 days, then a further 30 days. I went on to deliver my defence and ultimately the case was 'Stayed' Present day: I have just received a photocopy of a credit agreement with spreadsheet statements from Cabot who now which to 'discuss the options available for this account.' My initial concern is the photocopy of the agreement, in that it has clearly had something stuck over part of the section 'YOUR SIGNATURE REQUIRED' with what clearly looks like a faxed signature of who ever was signing off on the agreement, although I am unsure if this is normal practice? Also the spreadsheet is very basic with no opening balance/closing balance or written indication to the amount of initial credit and whether this was increased/decreased over time during the period of the agreement? Per my original request during court proceedings they have not supplied 'Default Notice', 'Assignment', although I'm sure this would be a request I would make again should the 'Stay' get lifted and it goes back to court. Any help in this matter would be most appreciated. Thank you.
  7. Lowell's Solicitors are chasing an old debt (6yrs old) - as mentioned in post #1 old catalogue debt for JDWilliams & Oxendales Never seen a letter like this from them before Tactics or can they go further with this? Thanks LowellSolicitors.pdf
  8. Just received a letter from Santander stating my overdraft has been sold to Cabot The letter states that Notice of Assignment will be forthcoming from Cabot In the same envelope was a welcome letter from Cabot stating the usual things about 'how my experience Cabot will be different' blah, blah, blah. The account was setup in 2005 and the overdraft is approx £5400 The last payments to the account I am aware off would have been Jan/Feb 2013 Not sure what the process is regarding overdrafts and what documentation is required etc to prove in court, so if it's a different ball game compared to a typical credit card or catalog debt then I would really appreciate the heads up regarding what to expect now.

Simple What is the claim for – On 14/10/2013 the Respondent entered a credit card agreement with New Day Ltd under which the Respondent borrowed money from them repayable on demand. The said agreement was an agreement under the Consumer Credit Act 1974. The date of termination was 31/03/2017. The Respondent failed to pay as agreed on demand and is in breach of contract with the said New Day Ltd and the supplier assigned all rights in the said debt to Cabot Financial UK Ltd on 19/04/2017 and the Claimants have advised Respondent of the same. The last payment to the account was 02/02/2017. The said sum of £1778.81 is the sum sued for. The Claimants have made frequent requests to the Respondent to make payment of the said sum but the Respondent had refused or delayed to do so. Last Date Of Service:- 09/01/2019 Last Date For Response:- 30/01/2019 What Documents are listed in Box E2: Simply states No Defence – No evidence required No stateable Defence (Rule 4.4 breach) – no evidence required Defence on Prescription – Copy statement of account only.

So agreement not required) Is the claim for a Overdraft, credit card, loan account, hp Agreement, Catalogue or mobile phone debt : - Credit card BOX D5 what has the claimant state: The Claimants request that the court order the respondant to pay the sum of .£1778.81 from your knowledge: answer the following: When did you enter into the original agreement before or after 2007? After Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim. Debt Purchaser - Cabot Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? Not sure Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? I think so Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Default sums” – at least once a year ? Don't think so When was you last payment:- 02/02/2017 (according to the form) Hi All, Looking for some guidance and advice please, if possible. Around 5 years ago I took out an Aqua Credit card. Unfortunately, I was unable to keep up the payments and defaulted. The account was sold on to Cabot Financial, and as a result I received a number of letters from a law firm called Nolans (which I ignored) I have now received a Simple Procedure Notice of Claim. Any advice gratefully received. Many thanks, Pete
  10. Hi all, I have received a letter out of the blue from cabot regarding an HSBC loan, allegedly in the sum of £11,045.93 I had this loan with HSBC but have had no default notices, NOA or anything from them since I fell on hard times in 2010 and had to stop paying. It states that it is an important notice and that after several attempts to contact me (in reality, none have been made or succesful) they are allegedly going to take legal action against me! What is the first step in this - letter states that if I do not call within 7 days of the date of letter (10th March) they will instruct a solicitor and I'll be locked up and the key thrown away etc. etc. What should be my first course of action? CCA via recorded delivery? Is this just a phishing letter - I have had no contact or calls from them at all and I begrudge the heavy handed tactic they are taking here. The HSBC debt is recorded on my Credit File, that much I know, but I don't think Cabot are - although I am really not sure on that score. Many thanks for any help BT

  13. I received ANOTHER Ordinary cause action yesterday. ( am in the middle of defending an Ordinary cause from Y+K already) This time from Nolans, on behalf of Cabot who have bought the debt from Opus (haven't heard of them until now) who were assigned this card from Citi. And along this 'chain of command' I've not had any notice of assignment etc... I'll be defending this one too, in the same way, but quick question - it is nearly 5 years since I had dealings with Citi, and Nolans states in their letter/writ that ALL correspondence must go thru them. I will need to SAR and CCA for this card, and I know that the SAR usually goes to the initial lender, but in this case, as they seemed so insistent that all correspondence go thru them, should I just SAR Nolans??
  14. I'd seen recently on my Equifax file that an old BT debt was being recorded by Lowell This was chased by and already paid to Credit Resolve in 2017 I emailed Lowell last week along with proof of payment asking them to remove the entry They've said: Good Morning, Thank you for your email, I have noted your comments and would be happy to assist you. Account Number Original Client Current Balance xxxxxxxxxx BT PLC £72.84 I appreciate the comments you have made and I can see from the screenshot provided this shows the balance due was paid on the 31st of May 2017. Your query We’re investigating this matter with BT PLC and will let you know of the outcome. What happens next? You don’t need to do anything. The account is on hold and we will contact you again as soon as we hear back from BT PLC. If you require any further assistance please don’t hesitate to let me know. Kind Regards, Hakim Lowell Financial, part of Lowell I've paid, I don't owe them, would I have to wait for them to investigate or should they be removing the entry straight away? Can I go back with the 'remove in 14days or I'll start legal action line'? Thanks
  15. I received a letter from Cabot Financial claiming they own an old debt of mine from four years ago amounting to £7800. This debt may be genuine as I went through a very bad time during my divorce mentally and lost my business and home. I thought all my debts were settled at that time so I would like to challenge them as my credit file shows no debt. I have sent a prove it letter and would like to know my next step, a CCA request or SAR request should they persist. I have read that sometimes unsecured debt cant be enforced because the relevant paperwork is lost, is that correct? I am about to retire and have no assets. Thanks in advance
  16. Hi all, I started a previous thread to share my general issues, but am posting in this section for specific advise relating to First Direct. Previous forum address here if anyone is interested: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?458839-Low-income-6-year-old-debts-and-worrying-about-the-possibility-of-future-court-action I had an account with an overdraft, credit card and loan with First Direct (all pre Apr 2007). I defaulted on payments for the credit card and loan back in 2009, at which point, they closed my account, merging the credit card and overdraft together as one debt, and the remaining loan as another. Since the default in 2009, I have been making token £1 monthly payments to Metropolitan Collection Services; I have since moved house a few times and hence had no contact with them. Aiming to sort things out once and for all, I joined this site, and under some much appreciated advice, sent out a CCA request to Metropolitan last week. First Direct have responded, sending back my CCA letter (but keeping the postal order???), saying: The letter is not signed (didn't think I needed to) - they want me to provide a specimen signature My current address does not match their records (it wouldn't as I have moved, but my credit file address is up-to-date) - they want me to provide the old address to match their records. From this, I gather that FD still own the debt as Metropolitan did not write to me. As mentioned, my credit file is up to date with all addresses. Does anyone have any advice on how I should proceed? Are they trying to delay and does the time limit of 12+2 days still apply? Or, are they valid in their requests? Any help much appreciated Thanks AM
  17. Hi Folks, Been disputing a debt with Cabot for some time and eventually it has been issued as a claim to which I have responded as per the guidance in the forum. Very helpful thank you. So back in December 2018 I filled out my AOC and then 31CPR and then my Defence. Today I received a letter from Cabot chasing the debt asking me to pay, are they allowed to send me a letter to collect when it has now been escalated to a court case? Where do I stand? Any thoughts, guidance, greatly and warmly received. Thanks.
  18. Hi I received some excellent advice from CAG after I had some major employment and debt issues between 2008 and 2011 which resulted in a number of my accounts defaulting, once again I am in need of assistance please. One of the alleged debts I defaulted on was in respect of a BOS Credit Card, under duress I continued paying £1 per month until August 2016 when it was sold to Cabot Financial. The balance claimed is around £4k. Cabot quickly passed the account to Restons who wrote in February 17 threatening legal action to which I issued an unsigned CCA request together with a £1 postal order. Restons rejected the CCA request as it was unsigned, therefore I signed it and resent it with a letter as follows; ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Further to your letter dated XXXX in response to my second formal request for a copy of the original credit agreement for your reference shown above. I am somewhat surprised at your request considering you have happily sent personal information to my address if you are now uncertain that I am the correct person. For the avoidance of doubt there is no requirement under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 nor the Data Protection Act 1998 for my request to you to be signed. Never the less, I return to you now signed my original letters dated 23 March 2017 and 28 March, together with Postal Order: for £1. This postal order represents the fee payable under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 in respect of my request for a copy of this credit agreement and a full breakdown of the account including any interest or charges applied and must not be used for any other purpose. I understand that under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (sections 77-79), I am entitled to receive a copy of any credit agreement and a statement of account on request. I understand that, under the Consumer Credit Act 1974, creditors are unable to enforce an agreement if they fail to comply with the request for a copy of the agreement and statement of account under these sections of the Act. For the avoidance of doubt, an original signed Consumer Credit Agreement is just that; not an application for credit and not a reconstructed or micro-fiche document from other sources but indeed the original signed document purporting to be signed by myself. Please note that until such times as a legally enforceable, original Consumer Credit Agreement can be produced and a copy sent to me by return, then this letter is not an acknowledgement of debt and this account will remain in an unenforceable state in line with s.127 (CCA1974). I look forward to receiving the documents requested within the next 12 days. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ I have also sent an unsigned CCA request to Cabot which has been acknowledged and is in process. I have today received the attached letter from Restons advising legal action is commencing, although they have stated the Postal Order and letter has been returned this was not included in the envelope. I have contacted Royal mail to obtain confirmation the Postal Order has been cashed. I would really appreciate guidance as to how I should respond as Restons appear to have no inclination to provide a copy of the CCA and appear happy to proceed to court on this basis. Many thanks Bozalt IMG_1942JPG.pdf
  19. Hi all, Hoping for some advice if possible. Early 2017 I received a claim form from Cabot for an old Yorkshire Bank overdraft debt - I wasn't in the best position at the time but did manage to file a standard claim defence through MCOL and then was told it would be sent back to the client to review. Heard nothing and am now in a much better situation out the blue approx a week ago I received a letter from the solicitors with the documentation I had requested in my claim defence etc. I have attached a copy of the letter they have sent me and they have also sent full bank statements, notices of charges and a notice of assignment. The claim is for approx £1000 - £875 from the account and the rest in solicitor fees. As a bit of context, the account was held from 2013-2014 and I had a serious gambling addiction at the time, essentially any money I received I was spending straight away on gambling. I had a current account with Yorkshire Bank with no agreed overdraft, yet I was constantly able to go several hundreds of pounds overdrawn, and of course the fees made this worse. Based on the bank statements they sent, I accrued approx £850 of bank charges in the 10/11 months I used the account (these were at £25 per charge for unplanned overdraft and a couple of £35 returned DD). Note the final balance now is not just charges as some of these were paid off during using the account. I was in a cycle where I would be overdrawn, credit the account and return to a positive balance, then be allowed to go overdrawn on gambling transactions and then charges would be added and the cycle would repeat, until I ended up so deep overdrawn I abandoned the account. Towards the end I was able to go over £600 overdrawn in gambling transactions, and then £185 fees were also added to this as well as extra debit interest that accumulated. The letter states they would like to settle without further court proceedings and that I can propose a repayment plan. After some research online I believe one option to me would be to submit a formal complaint to Yorkshire Bank about the charges and my financial situation at the time and how I was constantly able to go overdrawn by a large amount, and if necessary go on to the Ombudsman after. Do you think this is a good approach, and would it stop Mortimer wanting to proceed with court action whilst the complaint is considered? I am of course open to any other suggestions! Thanks a lot and sorry for the long read, please let me know if any more info is required. Attached: Letter received today Statement of amount owed One of the bank statements (towards the end of the account) as an example - can see it started OD, went into credit, then ended more OD than it started (unfortunately i no longer have copy of original claim form or my defence - trying to access MCOL to retrieve these but wasn't thinking straight enough to keep a log of my details when this all started a couple of years ago) Thanks for any advice
  20. Hi, I've received a letter "NOTICE OF INTENTION TO ISSUE A SHERIFF COURT SUMMONS" alongside a booklet from accountant in bankruptcy. I assume that I will be receiving a summons shortly, any advice? Thanks in advance, didn't expect this
  21. Good evening all, I've done a bit of research trying to close accounts which led me to requesting CCA's to Cabot. I sent two for two different accounts which they took off Halifax (1 x CC & 1 x Current Acc Overdraft). I posted the following to them: Dear Sir/Madam Account No: With reference to the above agreement, I require you to supply the following documentation before I will correspond with you further on this matter. 1. You must supply me with a true copy of the alleged agreement you refer to. This is my right under your obligation to supply a copy of the agreement, under the legislation contained within s.78 (1) Consumer Credit Act 1974. 2. A full statement of account. 3. A signed true copy of the deed of assignment of the above referenced agreement that you allege exists. 4. A copy of any other documents referred to in the agreement. I understand that under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (sections 77-79) , I am entitled to receive a copy of any credit agreement and a statement of account when I request it. I enclose a payment of £1 which is the fee payable under the Consumer Credit Act 1974. I understand a copy of any credit agreement along with a statement of account should be supplied within 12 working days. I understand that, under the Consumer Credit Act 1974, creditors are unable to enforce an agreement if they fail to comply with the request for a copy of the agreement and statement of account. A speedy response would be appreciated to resolve the matter amicably. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours faithfully THE LETTERS WERE RECEIVED ON 17TH/18TH JULY AND TODAY I RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING LETTERS: Thank you for your CCA request etc etc... We currently do not have this information on file. However I have requested the relevant details, which include a copy of the credit agreement, statement of account and relevant terms and conditions from the original lender. You have requested a copy of the Deed of Assignment. Please be advised that the DOA is a confidential document between Cabot and the original lender. It does not contain any personal details relating to you or your account and is not available for disclosure. We sent you a Notice of Assignment for your account to your address, which is sufficient to confirm our ownership of this account. Only the courts can request this... Blah blah blah. A couple of things here... I asked for a true copy, they are referring to simply a copy. If they do obtain a copy, is this enforceable? Also is it acceptable what they are saying about disclosing the DOA to me? I don't ever recall being sent a Notice of Assignment, if I did, is this sufficient to confirm ownership and enforceable? I have been currently paying towards what they are claiming, on a monthly basis via DMP. The next payment is due in a couple of days. Should I continue paying or is it advisable to stop until they wholly action my request? Thanks in advance and any help/advice/feedback is much appreciated! I'm looking to get a mortgage by the end of the year so I can get my son into the school I/he wants. Many thanks.
  22. Hi, I have today received a letter from Cabot chasing a debt from an old Aqua card I defaulted on back in 2016. It's the first letter, there's no other information in there, no notice of assignment, nothing. Is there an initial response letter I can send to them. Cheers.
  23. Hi folks, situation with MEIII/Cabot/Nolans..... Nolans have issued me with a Court Claim. I have then gone back to both Nolans and MEIII with a CCA Request - Nolans denied they received the £1 PO and they had CCTV footage to prove it but in response to the MEIII CCA request I received a response from Cabot...?? (Confused!) The letter stated they did not have the paperwork on file and accepted they had missed the 12 day deadline but it was going to take 40 days to get it from the original lender...The letter even stated a different sum owed.! My Last Date for Response to the court is Thursday this week. What would you guys suggest as a way forward? The amount claimed is for a loan I had entered with Yorkshire Bank 2002 Any advice greatly appreciated
  24. Hi all I've received my first solicitors letter from Mortimer Clarke re an alleged debt with Cabot which according to them originally links back to Sainsbury's bank. I'm not the best with finances. I'm off work on ESA with Bipolar/Depression/Anxiety since 1996. Most of my mail gets thrown away unopened. I know this is bad. I've checked my equifax credit report and it shows a default with Cabot credit management group on 15/03/13. There is nothing on my equifax or noddle credit file mentioning Sainsbury’s at all. Any contact re sainsbury’s financial products I’ve had in the past would have been well over 6 years ago. The last contact I had with them was around 2009. Yes I may have received letters but never acknowledged or replied. Neither have I been on the phone to them. I’ve been given until 16/05/17 to respond to mortimer clarke solicitors who have been ‘instructed to issue a claim’ by cabot. I’m not sure if the debt exists and if it did, whether it is statute barred. What should I do? Many thanks
  25. I recently made a section 78 CCA request to Cabot who I have been paying a debt off to for 2 years. There was another 12 months left until I realised I could make a CCA request to them. I received a reply today saying that they could not get the info from the original lender, and the account is unenforceable. What data position does this place them in? Can they still request from me or use my data in any way? What about the default under their name on my credit file?
