Hi Spector, any news on this yet?

Re: Advice needed re a Trustcard Account, DCA, Default Notices and Other Matters

Hi nightwatch

I've sent off a CCA request to Cabot and have received an acknowledgement. That's it so far. Long way to go.

Re: DCA resurrecting a written off account

That looks pretty watertight to me

Why not send a copy of that Consent Order to Cabot.

Tell them you've not made any payment on the account recently so you are "at a loss to understand why they have made this assertion".

I would also tell them to clarify what "updates" they have made to your CRA files. I've seen an awesome letter composed by Andrew to send to rogue creditors who foolishly make inaccurate reports . . . .

Thank you, PlanB


I will send Cabot a copy of the Consent Order.


I also made a SAR to them on another matter last year and I'm sure that I found a note closing the account in their records. I can't find the CD which contained all the processed data or the letter with the code to access the disk at the moment but I will.


However, the fact that I believe this exists in their files is further reason for me to feel that they are now up to something.


Where would I be able to find a copy of Andrew's letter?

Thanks again

Spector

Uh oh. What was the "other matter" which you raised on the account last year which may have re-activated a closed account?

This may be relevant to your current situation.

Was it a PPI refund or something similar?

Re: DCA resurrecting a written off account

I have been extremely unwell and, TBH, I couldn't face a battle. I haven't received the credit agreement from C a b o t but I am ashamed to say that I ignored advice from very good and decent posters on this forum and I haven't stopped paying the token amount to Lloyds TSB who, I believe, pass it on to C a b o t. After the experience of C a b o t commencing proceedings previously I just didn't have the energy or appetite to risk the possibility of legal proceedings. Perhaps I need to rethink my position.

You've no need to rethink your position yet unless something happens.

Paying Lloyds a token amount to buy you peace of mind while you struggle with your health and other stuff makes sense. Think of it as *hush* money. Lloyds are running an extortion racket and you're paying them to leave you alone.

We'll help you tackle that debt when you're ready

Re: DCA resurrecting a written off account

Thank you again PlanB

It's comforting to communicate with understanding people.

I know that I have to face up to the Trustcard business at some stage cos it's not going to go away.

It's just good to know you are not alone.

Re: DCA resurrecting a written off account

It *might* go away. Weirder things have happened and trustcard is old so you never know - all may not be as it seems (unless they've got judgment or it's enforceable).

[Spector]

Re: DCA resurrecting a written off account

Thank you, Niddy

This type of thing doesn't normally go away for me and I realise that I am just avoiding dealing with it. I would push the DCA to produce the agreement but I am worried that it would turn out to be enforceable. Is there a pattern to when specific lenders issued enforceable / unenforceable agreements eg TSB Trustcard in 1996?

[Never-In-Doubt]

Re: DCA resurrecting a written off account

No pattern sadly. It's an individual basis mate. No two accounts are the same.

[Spector]

Re: DCA resurrecting a written off account

Thanks Niddy

Pity. It's surprising. You'd think that each lender would either have a consistently correct credit agreement or a consistently flawed one at any given time.

I'm thinking that it may be time to chase up C a b o t about that other credit agreement. They are 13 months late.

[Never-In-Doubt]

Re: DCA resurrecting a written off account

Well if you think about it in an average year a credit card firm could have anywhere from 1-50 different products. Therefore the terms differ that greatly that we always say never compare. You could get two people, exact same credit score, secure job, homeowner, same age etc applying for the same product at the same time yet one could be declined, offered better rates, offered a gold / platinum version etc etc whilst the other could get better rates/worse rates/same rate and/or different limits or cards.

See how easy it is to confuse things if you try and compare..?

Re: DCA resurrecting a written off account

Yes, I understand what you are saying. I must admit I can often take an extremely simplistic view of things. But life is never that simple.

Chase in what way? Do you mean you have a CCA request outstanding for 13 months, in which case I'd not chase them unless they're chasing you.

[Spector]

Re: DCA resurrecting a written off account

Hi PlanB

Yes, there is a CCA request that has been outstanding all that time. However, I am continuing to make a token monthly payment to Trustcard (who, I believe, forward it to the DCA). So everything is drifting along but I will need to do something at some stage?

Thank you
