Re: Help Needed Please - Marlin Letters

Update;

Had a response back from Marlin regarding the letter Pixie suggested above, it is dated 20th of January and states they have requested the relevant documentation from the original creditor. But nothing else!

However, the other letter relating to the Credit Card debt letter that was sent prior to Xmas, we had the reply and return of the PO which was sent back to Marlin on the 2nd of January.

We have heard nothing since then! Is there a follow up letter as this is now well past the 12+2 as suggested in other areas? I have seen somewhere a letter you can send to ascertain that as they have not replied and it is passed the deadline that as far as we are concerned this is now unenforceable?

She has stilled maintained the £1 payments on accounts as per the original agreement with HSBC, is it advisable in the circumstances to now stop these payments?

Any advice would be welcome.

Regards

Hi slay1373. Send the first letter in this thread for the overdraft Overdrafts-CCA-Information You don't need to send the £1 and it's a little experimental but it's kept mine at bay for a couple of years.

The letter that you send £10 with is a Subject Access Request so not the one you want/need.

Pixie,

I am sending the letter above, not had any reply at all from Marlin since early this month.

To date we have had;
£5955.78 CC Debt - letter dated 23rd December returning postal order, arrived 2nd January and returned same day - Nothing yet.
£2162.57 Jnt Acc Debt - Letter dated 30th December returning PO and above comment about not being subject to CCA, but also stating that they had enclosed a Statement of Account (nothing enclosed in letter). Returning Pixie's letter as advised above today.

Re: Help Needed Please - Marlin Letters

Update, received letters for both accounts. Both returning postal orders, one for no payee so sent back yesterday (the £5,995 credit card). The other arrived today saying as it's not a credit card the CCA act does not cover it, as its a current account. Does this need a different letter? Know there is another letter you can send with a £10 PO, but not sure which it is?

hopefully the main CC debt will take a step forward now once they receive the PO made payable to them. But need to sort out the old account too.

on the final debt which isn't being pursued and the bank are happy with current terms, she is interested in seeking a full and final offer. The debt is only around £2,700 but she would like it cleared so we can start moving forward and away from her past.

thanks and Happy New Year.

Re: Help Needed Please - Marlin Letters

ball is in marlin's court, just relax, enjoy Christmas and wait until they reply

Merry Christmas

Re: Help Needed Please - Marlin Letters

Second signed for letter has arrived as of today to Marlin.

My question is this; what happens now to the cases? Are they effectively in dispute or on hold until they provide or not the necessary proof and paperwork? Should she cease payments direct to HSBC (£1 a month)? What happens if they do not respond in the 12+2 days of signing for the letters?

kindest regards and Happy Christmas

Re: Help Needed Please - Marlin Letters

what makes me laugh at the letters at this time of year is that "you must contact within 7 days of the date of this letter" but a lot of the time they know you may not get the letter till after this time.
they hope you will panic and phone them so they can *assist* you in paying them over the phone, thus getting an extra sausage roll for the office do.
enjoy your Christmas xx

Re: Help Needed Please - Marlin Letters

I think this has crossed with your CCA request it does sound scary but it is all a load of shyte actually

Let's wait and see

Re: Help Needed Please - Marlin Letters

Re: Help Needed Please - Marlin Letters

they are all different, Marlin just have to be kept an eye on

I would just wait and see what happens now

They blow and bluster but just read the letters and let us know what happens, we'll keep you right about what is a viable threat and what isn't

these sound like mailshots

Re: Help Needed Please - Marlin Letters

Thanks Guys, knowing that many letters they send appear to arrive a few days after their letter date, then I am leaning to this. This is a follow up to their last threat and as you rightly say they have crossed paths in transit.

Is is it normal that they acknowledge our requests quickly?
