Here's an interesting one...

 

I CCA'd Halifax a few months ago, and the agreement looked to be all good and proper so I've been paying every month.

 

I had a couple of 'issues' and missed the last two months payment.

 

I received a DN from the Halifax with a remedy date of 10th December 2009.

 

I have received a letter today dated 3rd December stating that as I've not paid by the date on the notice they've terminated my account.

 

I'm surspised to say that the letter of termination dated 3/12 plus a DN with a remedy date of 10/12 would appear to be unlawful recission of contract- and they wouldn't be entitled to collect anything other than the overdue figure on the DN.

 

Any thoughts?

I've checked the CRA's but nothing showing yet.

 

Do you think the letter stating they'd terminated on 3/12, combined with the DN with remedy date of 10/12, is sufficient to defend should they bring proceedings?

 

Thanks for your help - and if / when you have a min to pen me a reply I'd be really grateful :)

Lol. When I spoke to them on Monday to confirm the remedy date of DN, they told me they may have issued it, but a default wouldn't be registered. They told me it wasn't 'passed over' until seven months, and I was only two months in arrears.

 

The letter today's also telling me if I don't pay up pdq they'll report me to the CRA's.

 

Funny :)

Heres the scans of the DN and termination notice. It all looks ok for me and not so ok for them.. but they do have an enforceable CCA in my opinion so I need to be 110% sure before I let it default- although it seems they've already done it.

Great news all in all.

 

This is indeed unlawful rescission of the agreement. They are daft. Can you scan and post the DN up minus your personal details. That also may be faulty. Did you keep the envelope? although not that important given the termination.

 

You will need to acknwoledge and accept the unlawful rescission of the agreement, after today.

Looking at the dates of yours and fluffystuff's letters from Halifax, they have corrected their historic problem with the DN's not allowing enough time to rectify, but not linked it to the issueing of termination notices. 14 days from the 19th November is indeed the 3rd December. Idiots.

Agreed- but they got that wrong too- no time for service, which was UK Mail- second class (plus a bit)

I just received another statement.. asking for a minimum payment by 4th January.

 

Maybe they're using a parallel language where 'terminated' and 'default' have different meanings....:confused:

dear sirs

 

Re Account XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

 

 

i refer to your Default Notice dated 19 November and received by me on XXXXXXXX and your subsequent letter of 3rd Inst in which you confirm that you had in fact terminated the above agreement

 

Notwithstanding any defect in the default notice, your pre -emptory action on 3rd December confirming that you had in fact terminated the agreement some 7 days prior to the deadline given in your default notice ( 10th December) resulted in insufficient time for me to even obtain an appointment with a solicitor let alone remedy the alleged default.

 

Having accepted your unlawful rescission of the agreement i note that you are now entitled to claim those arrears genuinely due at the time of the termination (not including any unlawful charges ) and i would be obliged if you would advise me of the exact amount of those arrears, against which will be a claim for unlawful rescission

 

Yours sincerely

 

 

XXXX
