    Hi

    The next step is, unfortunately, due to the number of accounts a lengthy one. That is to create a separate post on this thread for each individual account, including correspondence from/to the creditors. Then it will be easier to get tailored advice on a case by case basis.

    You can find the guidance on how to set out a diary here (post #2) https://www.all-about-debt.co.uk/for...-read-me-first


    Incidentally it's best to round up figures a little bit, rather than exact £££'s.

                    2016
                    Deleted emails
                    Confused this debt with one above
                    CRS sent back to LS

                    2018
                    Possibly SB March 2019
                    SAR request sent
                    August - received SAR documentation which is basically nothing. 2 screen shots of my details and an excel spreadsheet of notes. Not default, CCA, statement of account, no payments etc. Should I just ignore all letters from credit resource solutions?

                      Any advice on what to do next? I am awaiting SAR request back from QQ and LS, I'd like to get these two off my credit report before the threats start

                      All debts are after 2007 so will probably be enforeable, if I can get Trugym & LS off my report along with QQ what can they do then?

                          Should I still be paying debts 1 to 4 as they are all recent and probably will be enforceable. At the rate I'm paying it will be something like 14 years before they are paid off

                          Where do I sent my CCA's off for checking?

                              Hi

                              I am curious as to why you think the Lending stream debt may be SB in March 19, is that the date they recorded a default or were you making payments of some type up until then?


                              As for the rest, well it really is hard to give advice or even an opinion because every case is different. What I will say , from personal experience, there is a lot more to unenforceability than the S77/78 request although they are a good place to start

                              One thing I am never sure of is if a S87(1) DN is needed before a claim can be brought for a fixed term loan . I believe there used to be exceptions when the term was less than 3 months however many PDL's tried to become lines of revolving credit (like a low limit credit card really) and if that is the case a DN is needed. What is more a DN should be served by post and not email which is what they try to do.

                              I would be careful with Lantern- since they rejigged their ownership they seem to have 1) got their house into some type of order and b) become quite free and easy issuing claims

                              I had multiple payday loans from around 2012 or before. Some I settled, some I kicked up such a fuss they went back to the original creditor and some are now SB.There are only 2 or maybe 3 that could in theory try it on and only one of them is of any significant amount which I think they would have a problem justifying in court

                              Have you made affordability complaints against both PDL's ?
