    Re: Refunds/accounts with outstanding debt

    There appears to be mixed opinions on this, I have also been researching here and there and agree with Niddy where the third party should have no right to the refund, if the debt was fully sold on.

    I have since been passed a copy of the letter from my mate as said above, and this to me does confirm that Lloyds have cut ties, but I have read whilst researching that banks/OC can purchase the debt back, and use the refund, then sell the debt balance again to a DCA.

    Anyway, here is the main part of the letter from Lloyds he received, enclosed at the same time as the one from Cabot.


    (Lloyds letter).
    Dated 14 September 2012.
