Possible explanactions

 

One, they don't know what they are doing.

Two, they do not understand CPR.

Three, they know that the "agreement" is unenforceable and are trying to use delay/bluster tactics with you hoping that you will just pay and go away.

Hi Overdone,

 

I am a little confused with so many DCAs appearing to be sending you letters !!..

 

I would write back to these clowns and advise that you are under no obligation to pay for information requested under CPR

 

"I would point out that I have not in fact requested information under the Data Protection Act 1998 .

 

The information I requested was in response to a threat of legal action from WHICHEVER COMPANY MADE THE THREAT and was in fact a request made under the Civil Procedure Rules for which there is no fee required. I enclose a copy of that letter for your reference. "

Now Moorcroft have both Barclaycard debts.

 

Usual Moorcroft letters,

 

26 Feb 2009.

 

Dear Overdone,

 

We have been instructed by Barclaycard to collect your overdue debt of £5xxx,xx

 

It is a legal requirement to send a notice of Intended litigation before legal proceedings in the county court are issued. This letter fulfils the requirement even if it is not actually read by you.

 

To prevent legal action being taken it is essential that you settle this debt without delay Blah1 Blah!

 

Yours sincerely

 

A J Martin

Debt Recovery Manager.

Nice letter and I may use it. Moorcroft on the other hand,are idiots who put their hand in a basket and pull out any old letter at random, lick an envelope and send it. I just received my credit files from EXp and Equif where my details on my address are quite up to date via Barclays bank themselves and quite a few other account holders. They have to notify beauros. Utility though, somehow suggests, electric or water but there are no searches recorded by either of these people.

It is, I know another threat in the armoury of Moorcroft. They have used in regularly on other Cagers, notably Davey77. He is still waiting a response as to the company they checked with :D

 

I think they might well be the next one that OFT look at having already slapped 1st Credit over their empty threats;)

I don't think electric or gas companies credit search. I cannot see the point because undischarged bankrupts still get water and electric and sometimes car insurance payments on tick.

As they have returned previous £1.00 PO's on other accounts I have decided to CCA them using these. Truth is, I don't think they bother the original creditor for one and feel guilty if they cash the £1.00 postal order.

Did as suggested on both Barclaycard accounts and got usual Moorcroft replies on both accounts this morning.

Dear Overdone,

 

Dear Overdone,

Ref Barclaycard xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

I refer to your recent correspondence. We are continuing to seek to obtain a copy of the Consumer Credit Agreement that you have requested. Our systems provide for reviews to be sent to our client on a regular basis and this we are continuing to do. I will contact you again just to confirm that at this stage the account has been placed on hold and that we will not seek to enforce the debt until such time as the agreement is obtained.

 

In the meantime however we believe that it may be of assistance to all parties if we also take this opportunity to ensure that any potential areas of dispute are addressed prior to any possible court action or further investigation. Please could you give an indication of the information you will be providing, when giving evidence to the court or providing information to the relevent statutory authorities in relation to the alleged subject matter of the account.

 

Please could you provide this information by return. We beleive that this is a simple request that will assist in ensuring that all possible areas of dispute are identified as quickly as possible and potential costs and delays kept to a minimum level.

 

I thank you for your assistance and patience in this regard.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Mrs K Murray

The Default notice, the remedy date was 19th September, but what was the date on the top of the notice, you have blocked that out ?.

 

There should be 14 clear days from the date of the notice to the remedy date. allowing 2 days for delivery.

 

The actual notice is not in the prescribed format. there is text that is underlined but it should be in capitals and in bold typeface.

Just checked my file. The date of Mercsers default notice is 2cnd September. Is the default notice flawed enough to get it off my credit file? Or is the lack of prescribed format, not enough to count?

Reading with interest as my barclays account has just been passed to Mercers.

I have sent Mercers a letter that I will not reply to any further correspondence with them as it is in default with Barclaycard due to no CCA, even from a SAR request.

Sent barclaycard a letter starting the CPR route.

 

Cheers
