Halifax Loan - CCA or DPA Request Letter??

[lost24]

Hi I have a loan with the above which was due to finish last year, I am on a DMP and as it was up for its annual review & I had to write to my creditors to ensure payments were received & get an uptodate balance.

 

Halifax are being difficult - I first wrote to them on 1st June 2007 and todate have not received an adequate reply - they kept sending an automated letter whcih had 2 amounts on it totalling more than I actually owe so I wrote asking for clarification.

 

Their reply asked for a large amount of oney within 28 days or they would issue a DN against my credit file.

 

Which letter can I send can which gives them the least time to reply, and the balance of my account. I think it may be CCA request but am unsure - if anyone knows could they post a link??

 

Thanks,

I think this one may be suitable remember not to hand sign it and send via guaranteed delivery.....

Hi thanks 42man!

 

Two questions though

 

1) Why shouldn't I sign it?

2) The debt is being paid by my DMP direct to Halifax, no DCA involved - shall I just delete the referring paragraph?

 

Thanks

Just a very cautious precaution.....not signing it....and yes modify it to read without the collection part.....
