Hi all,

 

I have started a seperate thread for this lot as it was getting confusing on http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collectors-debt-collection/85806-taking-em-all.html

 

So anyway I have started with several DCA's, but this is the CrapQuest :mad: saga.

 

Crap "purchased debt from Northern Rock" on 08 July 2005. I have made monthly payments since because I was none the wiser. Well wised up :!: and:

 

22nd May 07 sent CCA request.

23rd May 07 Crap Acknowledge, put account on hold and said they would comply

07 June 07 advised they had requested said documents from N/R (why if they own the debt?) but N/R could not supply. Therefore Crap advised they were refering the matter back to N/R.

 

Continous bombardment of phone calls from Crap demading payment.

 

09 July received letter with D/D demanding payment and stating legal action will commence on 21st July. I have responded with this:

 

 

I refer to your letter dated 09th July 2007, and duly note its contents. However, I refer to my letter dated 21st May 2007 which was delivered via Recorded Delivery to your offices on 22nd May 2007.

 

You acknowledged this request on 23rd May 2007. In your subsequent letter dated 07th June 2007 your company stated that Northern Rock was unable to supply the required documentation and that your company was referring the matter back to them.

 

The documents I requested should be readily available as proof of your legal right to collect this account.

 

In my letter of the 21st May 2007, I made a formal request for a copy of the signed, executed credit agreement for the above account under Section 77(1) and Section 78(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. In addition a full statement of my account should have been sent to me detailing all debits and credits to the account from the time CapQuest Debt Recovery Ltd purchased this account, (which was 08th July 2005) along with any other documents mentioned in the credit agreement.

 

You are reminded that you are obliged to supply these documents, whether you are the original creditor or not, as defined under Section 189 of the CCA 1974.

 

The Consumer Credit Act allows 12 working days for this request to be carried out before your company enter into a default situation. If the request is not satisfied after a further 30 calendar days, your company commit an offence. These time limits expired on 08th June 2007 and 06th July 2007 respectively.

 

As you are no doubt aware, Section 78(6) states:

 

If the creditor under an agreement fails to comply with subsection (1) -

 

(a) He is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement; and

(b) If the default continues for one month he commits an offence.

 

Therefore on 08 June 2007 this account became unenforceable at law and no further payment will be made by myself to the account, as you have failed to comply with a request for a true signed copy of the said agreement, and other relevant documents mentioned in it, and failed to send a full statement of the account and failed to provide a true copy of the Deed of Assignment, under the relevant sections of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

 

Further, I do not acknowledge any debt to CapQuest Debt Recovery Ltd or CapQuest Investments Ltd.

 

I require the following action from CapQuest Debt Recovery Ltd:

 

1. All payments made to date to CapQuest Debt Recovery Ltd for this account should be refunded in full, including interest at the rate of 8% per annum.

 

2. Removal of any and all defaults entered by CapQuest Debt Recovery Ltd:

Note this is to be a complete deletion and not merely an amendment.

 

3. I look forward to compensation under Section 13 of the Data Protection Act 1998 to be offered for the processing of my data in the manner it has been done over the past number of years.

 

4. After a full refund of all payments with interest and compensation are received by me, you will be required under Section 10 and Section 12 of the Data Protection Act 1998 to cease and desist all manual and automatic processing of my data within your company and any other company within your group.

 

If you do not respond positively to my request, court action may be taken under Section 14 of the Data Protection Act 1998 to force CapQuest Debt Recovery Ltd and CapQuest Investments Ltd or any other company within the group to comply with the refund of all monies paid, removal of all defaults maintained and compensation for damage and distress as a result of unlawful data processing.

 

I will be passing the matter to the relevant enforcement authorities including, but not limited to, the OFT, the Information Commissioners Office, Trading Standards, the CSA, the FOS and my local MP.

 

I look forward to your reply within 14 days to resolve the matter amicably.

 

Should you nevertheless choose to initial legal proceedings against me, as stated in your letter dated 09 July 2007 I will expect to receive, with any Letter before Action, a copy of the document that you will be relying on as proof that a properly executed agreement, complying in all respects with the form and content requirements of the CCA was signed by myself in respect of this alleged debt.

 

I would be grateful if you could clarify the following points:

 

If CapQuest Investments Ltd purchased the alleged debt from Northern Rock on 08 July 2005, why did you refer back to Northern Rock on 07 June 2007 for the documentation? Do you own the alleged debt in total? Or are you acting on behalf of Northern Rock? In which case they would be named / involved in any litigation. Please could you clarify?

 

 

Re: Harassment by telephone

Regarding the quantity and frequency of telephone calls that I have received from your company, which I deem to be personally harassing.

 

I have verbally requested that these stop, but I am still receiving calls.

 

I now require all further correspondence from your company to be made in writing only.

 

I am of the view that your continued harassment of me by telephone puts you in breach of Section 40 of the Administration of Justice Act 1970, and the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.

 

If you continue to harass me by telephone, you will also be in breach of the Communications Act (2003) s.127 and I will report you to OFCOM, Trading Standards and The Office of Fair Trading, meaning that you will be liable to a substantial fine.

 

Be advised that any further telephone calls from your company will be recorded.

 

 

I look forward to your reply to all my points within 14 days and sincerely hope that we can resolve the matter amicably.

 

 

Yours faithfully

 

 

I refuse to answer the so called security questions when they phone and calmly explain they are not to call me. As this is off script for the muppets they normally hang up.

 

More updates as we go.

 

Tristar

I hope you have everything logged and detailed as is now time to get Trading Standards involved with these "lovely people".

Consumer direct is your first point of contact and they will pass your complaint onto TS.

 

Now TS are NOT the fastest in the world, but I have found that they do a difficult job extremely well.

Remember TS are trying to do a professional job, so ranting and raving at them wont get the job done. Dealing with them with professional respect will get things moving in the right direction for you.

Be VERY careful whose advice you listen too

Hey Tristar.

 

I'd subscribed to your other thread (taking them all on) but will watch this one with interest too.

 

I too am having a battle with Capquest and it's every bit as mucky as yours. Don't let them get to you and do everything in your power to ensure that it doesn't get to the CCJ stage.

 

They're sneaky little bar stewards and will do every underhand thing in the book that they can think of.

 

Grrr... I'm still p***d off at what I've had to deal with in regards to them in the last few days. Needless to say my kid gloves have come off and I'm ready to fight. fighting0010.gif

 

Hang in there. You've got some good people watching your thread - rory32, ODC, Curly et al, so you have nothing to worry about. :D

 

If you want to read about my "adventures" with them please see CapQuest CCJ.

 

Good luck with your fight. I'm rooting for you too.

Excellent letter to Crapquest. They admit not being able to produce the agreement yet they are threatening you with Court. What a bunch of sad losers. You have been beaten Crapquset. Admit it now. I think a copy of their complaints precedure is what you need Tristar. Lets see what their answer is then report them to FOS as no doubt it will be unsaisfactory.

Hi Tristar.

 

I am in agreement, bring it on. To quote Mr T (sorry for the A-Team reference) "I pity the fool (Crapquest) who dares to mess with a CAGer!"

 

Just out of interest what mobile do you have? On Diskmandave's thread we have discussed Call Blocking software which also logs calls. See from here onwards http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collectors-debt-collection/71386-diskmandave-robinson-way-co-25.html#post1004418.

 

It might be worth purchasing if your phone has the right operating system. ;)

Hi Deedee,

 

Have seen the DMD thread, how good is that guy:lol: :lol: and he's staying:D

 

Have company mobile so will just log calls as I am now. CB have done the deed with Consumer Direct and will update on response when received. In the meantime might have some fun and games with the calls. Some of DMD's are great:lol:

Well done Tristar!

 

That's a good letter to have as part of your ammunition. Maybe I should write to them with regards to how I've been getting on.

 

On a good note my cheque for my N244 against CrapQuest was cashed today, so this means that it's been lodged and is in the system.

 

I'll post more updates on my thread.

 

Well done for getting CD and now TS onside. It can only help with the battering CrapQuest are going to get from us.

Hi friends, just an update.

 

Cap have responded. They have thanked me for my correspondence and confirm the account is now on hold. They state they are to carry out an investigation following my complaint, which is good of them considering I didn't actually complain, I just pointed out the error of their ways and educated them re the law and my rights. Any Hoo, they have sent a copy of their complaints procedure which in summary says this:

 

Day 5 investigate and supply response if able

 

Day 28 Investigate and respond, this may involve obtaining info from their client:rolleyes: Well they have already tried that and N/R were unable to supply any info or documentation, and according to Cap they purchased the debt in July 2005, so why do they keep saying they will refer back to the client:confused: . Note to Cap: Northern Rock sold the debt to you, they couldn't give a **** I will be advised of progress.

 

Day 56 In the unlikely event that the complaint is not resolved a senior manager will complete a review and send a final response letter setting out their conclusions:confused:

 

They then request me not to contact the FOS until the final response letter is received:shock:

 

All calls have ceased:D

 

So I will sit back and see what response I get. They failed to answer any of the questions raised in my last letter, have defaulted and committed an offence re CCA request and continued to harrass me by phone when the account is default. So if your reading this Cap keep digging all the way to a judge:D

Hi all, I think I have a result :D

 

Received a letter yesterday dated 19th July from Cap, unfortunatley I cannot scan and paste so will relay the main points:

The reply is a direct resonse to my letter dated 13th July and as posted in #01 of this thread:

 

Investigation completed and;

 

They state on 06 June they were advised by N/R no docs were available. the decision to return the account to N/R was taken. However due to a system error this was not recognised and a letter automatically generated and sent to me. This subsequently led to my telephone number being called and they apologise for this error:eek:

 

Due to me acknowledging the account and making payments from 22 Sept 2005 (obviously pre GAG!!) no refund or compensation will be forthcoming.

 

They confirm that CapQuest Investments Ltd purchased the rights to title and interest on 04th July 2005 from Northern Rock PLC. They only apply for docs when requested, as to hold all docs on file would not be practical:?

 

Now the BEST BIT:p

 

They now confirm the account is now closed on their system and is in the process of being returned to Northern Rock PLC.

 

I will receive no further correspondence or calls from CapQuest and any defaults that have been placed on on my credit file will be removed:D

 

They then apologise for any inconvenience this matter may have caused !!

 

So a couple of question to those in the know;

 

Is this an end to it or another ploy I'm unaware of to lull me into a false sense of security??

 

If they purchased the debt from N/R will they want it back, and pass it on to another DCA??

 

Have I actually beaten these ****holes and saved £ 912.83, which I was convinced I did'nt owe anyway??

 

Do you think that T/S have been in contact and forced their hand??

 

Should I contact T/S via Consumer Direct and inform them of this development??

 

Happy days, I think:D

Looks like a result as N/R have already admitted they can't enforce by admitting they don't have the original CCA :D

 

Personally I'd wait to see if N/R contact you, and if they do, TS straight away ;)

 

Good luck
