Account in dispute - what next?

[redminx]

Would appreciate some clarification on account in dispute procedure once a debt has reached this stage.

 

I have 2 debts currently account in dispute, have written formally to them both, posted recorded stating that the debt cannot now be enforced unless a CCA is produced. Do I just sit tight indefinately in the hope this doesn't happen? Or should I write in an attempt to persuade them to 'write off' the debt if (as I suspect) they are unable to produce the CCA.

Would this be the only way of concluding the matter? Apologies if I sound confused, just want to make sure I have grasped all options properly:)

 

Also, am I right to assume that the creditors are now obliged to remove details & any registered default of said debts from credit reference agencies, and how would I proceed if this does not happen?

 

Any advice would be gratefully received

now no cca puts you in a strong position to offer a very low f&f

or try the letters in the templates lib, to try and get it written off

Thanks dx, that's clearer:) Hadn't considered offering low f &f so may try & pursue that course if they refuse to write off.

 

So can I request CRA remove any info if CCA cannot be produced by creditor - not sure how they would confirm the debt by other means - would previous payments made on the account be held on their records, & subsequently confirm existence of the debt to them?

[dx100uk]

the CRA is duty bound to ensure the data it holds is correct,

have a read of a few of the experian threads or alike.

Remember, if you make any offers to them you should do so only in writing and head every letter 'Without prejudice'.

Excellent - thanks for all the advice guys fingers crossed they are willing to be reasonable with a reduced offer will attempt to rectify cra records in the meantime

Hi everyone

 

Been a member on here for a while but not posted much, however have found the advice on here invaluable & have a SB query I would be grateful for some clarification on:

 

Have various debts dating back over the years, have CCA'd most of the ones that contacted me for payment, some complied & I pay token payments towards the amount owed, others didn't comply with CCA request so have effectively been in dispute since that point.

 

My question is, some of these disputed account debts that did not comply with CCA request will be over 6 years since any payment was made towards them, although will have had CCA request sent in relation to them - is the SB date from the date the CCA request was sent, or does this not count towards the timeline and will therefore be from date of last payment made towards the debt?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice

The CCA request doesn't count in respect of SB. It is purely a request for information.

 

You would be looking at the last payment made or acknowledgement in writing.

Thanks ims21 - appreciated
