Having been frightened into paying a monthly amount to Thames Credit for the last couple of years I discovered this site and have started to question the details they are claiming.

 

Thames Credit purchased debt from Lloyds TSB, I thought I was repaying an old loan so I have issued them a CCA (the 12+2 days expire tomorrow) with no sign of any paperwork having been supplied.

 

After carrying out a bit of research by going into a Lloyds branch I have a feeling they are collecting the balance of an old current account, the majority of which judging by the amount is likely to be huge fees added to account after I moved home and let communication with Lloyds lapse. Foolish but down to a very difficult personal situation at the time.

 

If this is a current account am i correct in thinking there will be no CCA?

 

What are the consequences of this?

 

Should I SAR Lloyds and what information specifically should I be requsting?

 

Bearing in mind the account is obviously closed how will i show I have right to request data from them?

 

The fees that I suspect have been added to my debt can they be claimed and then deducted from amount being claimed I owe, bearing in mind the debt is no longer owned by the Bank?

 

Any help or guidance much appreciated.

No there won't be a CCA, I would request a SAR from Lloyds.... and send it by recorded delivery...

Thank you for this reply, I will put together the SAR.

 

If the debt being chased by Activ Kapital does indeed turn out to be for a current account and as mentioned will not therefore have a CCA, how does this effect the DCA and the right to collect?

 

I am getting a bit confused between other debts that are NOT enforcable if CCA is NOT produced.

As I have gathered from using this forum with regards to Loans, credit cards etc if no valid CCA can be produced then there is no enforcable debt, and this gives the individual grounds to dispute any claims for payment.

 

When it comes to debt that does not come under the CCA (possibly a current account in my case) what if any grounds does the individual have to dispute the claims for payment.?

 

Does the fact no CCA can be produced still mean no enforcable debt? Probably wishful thinking!!

In the case of a current account, all they would have to send you in response to a s77/s78 request would be a letter confirming that you had an overdraft limit of £x and the rate was y%

 

If they were to take you to court then your main defence would be to set-off the charges and any interest applied on them.

 

In addition, if Thames take you to court in their own name then they need to demonstrate that the debt has been correctly assigned to them - usually it hasn't been.
