      Was the credit agreement sent to you in response to you ticking a box on the Letter of Claim reply form and a request for documents, or did you send Lowell a formal s78 CCA Request together with the £1 statutory fee?

        Ticking the box on the claim form, I didn’t do a s78 request

          Sadly that agreement looks good to me. But it's got huge black block-outs and hard to zoom in so being honest It may have errors but without a physical copy in front of me I just can't read it right.
          I'm the forum administrator and I look after the theme & features, our volunteers & users and also look after any complaints or Data Protection queries that pass through the forum or main website. I am extremely busy so if you do contact me or need a reply to a forum post then use the email or PM features offered because I do miss things and get tied up for days at a time!

          If you spot any spammers, AE's, abusive or libellous posts or anything else that just doesn't feel right then please report them to me as soon as you spot them at: webmaster@all-about-debt.co.uk

            Thanks, i didnt imagine the agreement would be an issue so much. I am wondering what impact their inability to provide a copy of the original default notice has?

              Without evidence of a compliant Default Notice being served on you the debt ought to be unenforceable in court.

              Lowell will know that since we (Jo) beat them in court in the case of Warwick65 despite them having the credit agreement

                That's interesting to know, thanks. Whats my next play, are there template letters or anything appropriate, as im assuming my next step is to tell Lowell I have no intention of paying because of the lack of default notice?

                  We did indeed beat them. Lowell had a problem in that they could not produce the original DN, they could not even produce a compliant reconstituted one. That was of course because they hadn't sent one which was shown on the SAR . The SAR said they had sent a notice of default for what was the full amount. The Judge didn't even listen to any arguments about the agreement or other notices, it was no DN no claim. Oh and costs to boot.

                  Like you, I was in a debt management plan and although Cap 1 registered the default with the credit agencies, they forgot to issue a formal S87 (1) DN


                  Am I correct in thinking there has been no claim yet .... it might be worth sending a formal S78 request off

                    Lowell have not made a claim as yet, only the pre action part. Is there a benefit to doing a s78 if I’ve had everything the s78 would usually provide?

                      Yes.

                      Since your CCA Request (sent by email with no statutory fee) is invalid legally speaking.

                        Definitely don't do that or Lowell may try harder to source or 'reconstitute' one.

                        Send a SAR to Capital One to establish whether a DN was ever issued.

                        Hold off sending a formal s78 CCA Request to Lowell for the moment in case they try to improve/complete their response to your reply to their Letter of Claim documentation (we have now spoken).
