Not sure what to do with this one.

 

Old debt originated from bank of Scotland around 2004.

 

Been paying token payment for around 12 years,

now threatening further legal action.

Would a sar request suppress them .

 

..or eaiser just to stop paying them and see what happens

 

Many thanks

A SAR request wont stop any action, a CCA request will but only until the paperwork is found and sent to you.

Are you still paying BOS ir has it been sold on and assigned to a dca?

 

As this is a BOS debt, are you in scotland? (Different laws may apply)

fe-fi-fo-fum........I smell a cash cow...

what type of debt is it> card loan OD?

 

think you'll find the OP has been paying cabot DCA for 12yrs?

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Agree with DX, it sounds like they have been having you on... Not good :(

If you have been paying Token payments, is that all you can afford?

 

We could do with some help from you.

Ruddy fleecers!

 

Oh well, they'll have to look elsewhere for someone else to pay for their chocolate digestives now you've learned the hard way the honest truth.

 

I feel for you, I really do, this is absolutely shocking, oh well, now you know, and can laugh at them.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

  • 4 years later...

Received letters in January 2021 for 3 debts and phoned them to reiterate they had not responded for  4 + years.

 

Well apparently they now have a loan agreement from 2006 and the overdraft debt taken out around 2004 isn't covered by CCA.

 

The other debt had a ccj on it which was paid nominally to 2010 .Then sold and then sold again, and back again to cahoot.

 

As soon as I get documents I will update.

Are they just trying it on?

Sorry DX my over excitement or annoyance.

On this bank of Scotland credit...

Taken out 2003 defaulted and sold to Cabot around 2006.

Been paying them £5 a month upto July 2016.

Then on advice...thanks DX...CCA to them.

Normal response no information available, will be in touch again in 40 days.

 

Out of the blue Jan 2021 reiterated balance outstanding.

I explained about my CCA request back in 2016 and they could not find anything.

They then advised they would investigate and to give them 16 weeks.

 

Out of curiosity today rang them..about 15 weeks.

Advised they had a an agreement for the card.

As yet nothing in the post.

Hope that makes more sense🙂

Will post up correspondence...if received

well as you defaulted moons ago it can never comeback on your file.

but it will be Statute barred july 2022

 

sent Cabot another CCa request

nail then in their box again

 

and again NEVER EVER phone a DCa nor enter into any pointless letter tennis other than a CCA request where required and applicable.

 

the only time you ever respond to a DCa is if you ever get a letter of claim or should they be so bold a court claimform.

 

never move without informing the owner(s) of any supposed debt you last used/paid within the last say 7yrs to be safe.

always ENSURE your debt owner(s) have your current and correct address should you have moved since taking the credit out with the original creditor and not informing them in WRITING you have moved.. protect against backdoor CCJ's

I originally CCA them in 2016.No paperwork letter confirming unenforceable..

 

Then they wrote to me in Jan 2021.

 

I explained they hadn't responded to my CCA .That's when the dispute opened and said they had 16 weeks.

Sorry if I sound a bit thick🙂

 

😄when I rang them in January .their reply was we have 16 weeks to look into the dispute.

Looks like they have just been talking ...
