My IL's recently received a SD from Capquest, regarding a very old egg card, on investigation the debt is now 6 yrs old.

 

I sent CQ a CCA ,on their behalf, and in return they sent a letter stating the account was now on hold for 28 days followed the next day by a letter of 'supposed' assignment.

I have doubts as to whether this letter of assignment is genuine! They have assured me they have received no letters from egg stating the debt had been passed on, and have never acknowledged the debt nor paid any monies towards it.

I am taking them through to the courts tomorrow to get the sd set aside.

Is there anything else i should be doing for them, as both are scared witless.

If you look at the CAG announcements at the top of this page you will see one flash accross about being threatened for debts over 6yrs old ........ have a read of that in particular the first page and this page http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/faqs-please-read-these/146460-consumer-protection-unfair-trading.html?garpg=3#content_start and consider putting in a complaint.

Let us know how you get on.

Nothing would suprise me with these two-especially knowing that Citi Financial are now at the helm of Egg....not sure why you sent the CCA on their behalf since its their responsibility to come up with that by requesting it from Egg if they dont already have it.

Thanks for the replies....

I haven't played my hand regarding a statued barred debt yet, was going to wait to see if CQ could provide the original contract!

 

have included it in the reasons to have the SD set aside though.

 

Should i SAR Egg as well on behalf of IL's as i'm sure there will be charges on the account, just wondering as this is now an old debt that they just can't afford to repay... now both pensioners!

just thought i'd pop in and say hi d-day is nigh!

 

THANX to all who have helped, not only me and mine, but all the other people who have found themselves in situations similar to ours!

 

Your words,wisdom and general friendliness have, for us, been invaluable at a time when we thought the world was crashing down.

 

I think we are ready..... any pre -hearing tips would once again be gratefully received. If I'm honest we are getting a little jittery as we have yet to hear from CQ, they have not acknowledged receipt of the set aside application, well not to us, and we do not know as yet if they intent to show.

 

not to self need bigger/better brave pills!

CQ never show, just show your distate at them abusing the Insolvency service to try and enforce a debt that is disputed....call the judge sir / madam, be firm but polite...and ask for costs as LITIGANT IN PERSON...

hi all

just a quickie.... should i copy all paperwork submitted to the courts to CQ??? have done the costs for them .... I have submitted to the courts, copies of all letters to CQ by ourselves, and complaint letter to the OFT regarding CQ... should i be courteous and send them copies too?

sure 42

 

the Judge had read through our defence prior to us going in...

completely agreed with the Statue Barred.

He was less than pleased that we had neither a notice of assignment nor replies to any of the letters we had sent to CQ (and we supplied all letters written by us to the courts prior to the hearing).

He was less than pleased that CQ hadn't bothered to turn up.

And was annoyed that CQ had chosen to issue an SD as a scare tactic, saying that SD should only ever be issued as a very last result as they can be devastating if awarded, and are only ever issued by the courts if there is absolutely no alternative. Not as a means to recover a debt over 6 years old and where procedure has not been followed.

He noted that we had sent a letter of complaint to the OFT, (again we supplied him with copies) stating that in this case they had misused this particular process.

The actual hearing was very quick, i suppose because CQ didn't turn up and hadn't sent an explanation as to why they would not be attending.

 

I hope this all helps others to go up against any DCA who thinks that this abuse of process is ok. Maybe if we start costing them money in costs they will think twice about it....... mmmmmm maybe.

Well they now have 14 days to pay costs. Wonder if they will be more forth coming with payment than they were with my CCA request :)

 

Best wishes to all.

Congratulations, and well done claiming your costs, as you say its probably the only way we can stop them with this abuse of the court system.

Please note i have no legal training any advice i give comes from my own experience and from what i have learned on this site

Hi

 

 

Capquest have gone a little quiet now so think it is about time you reported them to the OFT if you haven’t done so already.

 

 

Please bear in mind that the template letter on the first page of this thread:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...=1#post3422496

 

may not be suitable for all and you will have to adapt it to your own circumstances I.E

You applied to get it set aside and CQ didn't turn up

You applied and CQ agreed to discontinue

You ignored and CQ did nothing

 

 

Today the OFT set out some new guidance and sending SD's as a debt collection tool is now frowned upon.

If you want to read it, here's the link

http://www.oft.gov.uk/shared_oft/consumer_leaflets/credit/OFT664Rev.pdf You can complain by email and the OFT will email you back a form to sign and post back to them for them to be able to add your complaint to their list.
