good evening all,

 

I am close to the end of a six year default by Natwest on an "alledged" loan. They have been unable to locate the original credit agreement rendering it unenforcable.

 

I have been reading about the 6 year time limit but am usure on a certain aspect. It states that the 6 years can start again if a payment has been made or if you have acknowledged the debt in writing. I would be grateful if someone could clarify what constitutes "acknowledged". I last wrote a without prejudice letter to them in November 2010. I stated in the letter that i am writing on conjunctio to their previous letter regarding an alledged loan. Does this constitute acknowledgment? and if so does that mean that the time starts from the date of this letter.

 

No payment has been made for over 6 years. I am considering sending them a statute barred letter but am worried that this may also be taken as acknowledgment?

 

Any advice would be greatly received.

 

Many thanks.

Hi

Can you tell us if it is the original creditor(nat west) or a debt collection company who have made the recent enquiry ?

Was this a fixed sum loan ?

 

If so when did the term of the agreement expire ?

 

You say that they cannot supply a copy of the agreement , does this mean that you have asked them for a copy before, was this via a section 77 request?

 

Sorry for all the questions, just trying to get a clear picture.

Thanks, was the loan secured and was it for over or under 25K.

 

Also can you clarify, was the request for information made under section 7 of the data protection act or section 77 of the consumer credit act. ie.

Did it cost you £10 or just £1 ?

Just a couple more questions, when was your last payment on the loan and did you receive a default notice at any time, if so do you have a date ?

OK thanks for all that

 

The fact that they have not responded to your section 77 requests renders the agreement temporarily unenforceable under section 77(4) of the consumer credit act. ( That is until they produce a true copy). the fact that it was for under 25K means that it was regulated under the CCA so this would apply.

 

The loan itself will be subject to section 5 of the statute of limitations 1980 and the period between the cause of action and the commencement of proceedings cannot be more than 6 years. Ther COA is generally accepted to be the last payment although sometimes they will say it is the default notice date, you seem to be clear in any case.

 

To reset the COA there must be a written "unequivocal"acknowledgment or payment made in the intervening period,(section 29 of he sol) a payment after this period will not count. From what you've said your note in 2010 would not count although as BF says it would be as well for us to have a look and make sure.

 

If I were you I would send the SB letter with the proviso of the last paragraph.
