  • Filling in a Financial statement is an admission of debt. Restarts the Statute Bar Clock!!!

    A Letter Of Claim gives you 30 days BUT requires them to show their CARDS (the reason they think they can claim)
    IF you receive a Letter Of Claim I would refer this to @Di

    I would NOT open nor reply to an email from a DCA (my choice) I mark these as SPAM I still make a note of these time and date (even if in SPAM)

        Last payment: £1.00 | June 2018
        Last fill payment: December 2017
        Arrangement: DMP till May 2018
        Status: Defaulted August 2018
        2018
        March - Collections letter, i+e attached, ignored
        April - closing of accounts letter, payment proposal form attached, ignored
        May - Formal notice of intention to file a default
        June - Notice of arrears in compliance with CCA 1974
        June - Notice of refund of interest (£468)
        June - You have fail to comply letter received

        August - yearly statement received

        2019
        August - Letter received from AIC they are now managing my account on Natwest's behalf

        2020
        January - Letter received from NatWest to say the collection agent they are now using is Zinc as their previous ones (I assume AIC) couldn't come to a suitable arrangement. I have been sent the same letter for all my 7 accounts! None are active, most were savings accounts and only 3 are on my credit report.
        February - Received letter from Zinc balance of £5667.01 (OD & Loan combined). 'Time is running out' letter
        July - received letter to say their collection agents haven't been able to come to a suitable arrangement so my details have been passed to Moorcroft.
        September - Received multiple letters from Moorcroft stating they have been unable to agree a repayment plan.
        November - Discount offer letter received from Moorcroft.
        So I have received an offer letter from Moorcroft. Doesn't mention the discount though. Will it go round in circles with Moorcroft before they get bored? Have a ways to go to get to SB.

        • Have you ever sent a s77-79 CCA Request for this NatWest loan? I can’t see any mention of one in your post history.

          If not then send one now.

          Although you may need to send two since your post seems to say there’s a loan and an overdraft, but maybe they were combined at some stage.

            Yes they appear to be combined with Moorcroft. I don't believe I have ever sent a CCA. Do I send it to Natwest or Moorcroft?

              I don’t see how they can combine a loan and a current account overdraft when they two different financial products.

              If/when you pay them a sum of money which debt would be reduced - if you follow my logic.

              Let’s hope these two debts get sold as one account not two because that might give them an assignment issue in future.

              Send one CCA Request to Moorcroft because they usually drop a debt like a hot potato when they receive one, and they send it back to NatWest, who may then ask Wescot to try to collect for a while, before they then sell it to a debt purchaser.

                The money would come off the overall balance I assume, there isn't a breakdown of each debt. Natwest have already used Westcot, would they try them again?

                  I doubt NatWest would go back to Westcot again.

                  With any luck they’ll assign (sell) the account to a debt purchaser who may not have FCA authorisation to issue legal proceedings. And if they amalgamate the two accounts before they sell them that could also muddy the waters for them.

                  Wait and see what comes back from your CCA Request.

                      Does this mean that it is closed for good or just sold on? I haven't heard from anyone about this.

                      • I presume this is Nat West entry for this O/D Debt ->2 and the closed and satisfied 21st July 2021 was entered by them?
                        What was the outstanding balance at that time?
                        If it had/has been sold on I would have thought you would have heard by Now!

                        What about the other Nat West entries? Are these still there?

                        I would simply wait and keep a watchful eye!

                        Make certain you have a copy of that entry for your records/Diary

                          I think it probably means the debt has been sold on. I also think it can take quite some time if ever for the new owner to start reporting. It can also take some time for them to get off their backsides and tell you.

                          It would be lovely to think it had just been closed but they even sell debts on that they know are unenforceable or have a ccj in their favour so I would expect the worst while hoping for the best.

                          Of course it can be in your favour if they sell it on.

                          • would normally pan out as sold on.

                            • I am curious really as you have that Debt 1 with Nat West. Presumably this still appears on your Credit Report?
                              Sometimes the Original Lender lumps Debts together and sells them on!

                              You just have to wait and see BUT always record (for your benefit) changes to Accounts/Debts that date 21st July 2021 for instance might become a crucial evidence if other dates for closure and or Assignment are later revealed!
