Help/Advice needed please
Good morning everyone. Hope I have posted this in the right section, please feel free to move to another if necesscary.
I would appreciate any help/views on the following problem.
Back in early 2009, a court case regarding my husband’s credit card debt was discontinued by the creditor.
My DH sent a letter to the creditor’s solicitor basically saying that any further claim would be opposed and if their client was prepared to undertake not to pursue the matter any further, he would accept their reduced offer for wasted costs.
The solicitors replied stating that their client would not be obtaining the court’s permission to commence recovery proceedings against him in relation to account no xxxxxx.
My husband duly received a cheque from the solicitors for the agreed wasted costs claim and we thought that was that!
Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, a DCA has sent two threatening letters and a postcard (in an envelope), the latter arrived yesterday.
I presume the creditor can get away with this as they’ve passed it on to a DCA and not gone back to court?
My husband is very concerned that this DCA now may take it to Court.
Thanks for reading, any help would be much appreciated.

Are you able to say exactly why the court case was discontinued first time around? This could provide a clue as to whether anyone else (such as a DCA or debt-purchaser) has a cat-in-hell's chance of resurrecting this nightmare. There is such a thing as 'abuse of process'.
