barlcaycard/capquest account in dispute passed to AIC

[desperati]

I have been dealing with crapquest re a barclaycard account.

 

I cca'd them on 22 july 2011, they sent the usual account on hold letter, after the required time i sent account in dispute letter,

they replied with letter stating it was with "quality control"??? heard no more (no they havent returned my £1).

 

today i recieved a letter from AIC for the same account.

 

Has something changed,

I thought they couldnt pass to another dca if it was in dispute.

I seem to recall there was a template to send to a dca that takes over an account in dispute but, cant find it.

 

Does anyone have the link for it?

thanks

ok have an update, sent letter to AIC and had letter from capquest stating that as no payments had been made Barclaycard have taken back the debt and they will refund my £1, I have now recieved another letter from AIC stating:-

okso any advice on what should be my next action, should I ignore them? send AIC a cca req (they have no chance of getting it its from approx 1979-81) or should i just refer them to my previous letter about it being in dispute with Capquest (tho they have now washed thier hands of it)

Thanks

You could ignore them, or continue playing the game of letter tennis.

 

They have nothing enforceable on you IMO, offering you discounts is indicative of this, you requested the CCA once, it failed to materialise there is no requirement to send another request, the account is disputed, so you can tell them of this, or just ignore them.

Ahhh, I miss letter tennis with Crapquest

 

Probably send you an application form and outdated/incomplete T&C's from a different year to the debt.

 

After trying originally to make arrangements with original creditors, apart from First Direct who were great, I'm just ticking the days off to all my debt being SB'd next year!

 

I'd just make sure you have sent the 'In Dispute' letter, for when they sell the debt.....well 'try' to as no DCA will touch them with a pooh stick:!:
