DaveyBoys UE enquiry

Re: DaveyBoys UE enquiry

Another day, another letter from Apex. 'My account continues to be in arrears despite requests to bring these up to date. Should it remain this we will have to consider escalating your account to be reviewed for further action. Call us today, it is our intention to resolve this matter collaboratively.'
Time to reply to this drivel? I'm also getting daily phone calls from them and now have over 20 different numbers stored in my phone as 'Apex Ignore'

I would send this ---->Final Response - UE (No CCA Received) Along with----> Harassment by Telephone

Re: DaveyBoys UE enquiry

That is just a standard template which Moroncrap use all the time, despite the fact that it is facetious and inaccurate. I certainly wouldn't humour them by sending a second request.

One account, one request. That is the rule. Especially if what you receive in response to that request is unenforceable paperwork. What could you possibly gain by sending another request, and giving them the opportunity to “Blue Peter” a reconstruction which could actually be enforceable?

In response to Moroncrap's idiocy, I would send the following -

“Dear Sirs,

I am in receipt of your letter dated xxth April 2013, and note its contents. I note, in particular, that you appear to be labouring under the misapprehension that I forwarded a request for information pursuant to the Consumer Credit Act 1974. On the contrary, such a request was forwarded to the original creditor on [DATE], and, consequently, I have no need to forward another.

My letter of [DATE of the SWID letter] referred to this request, and the non-compliance of the original creditor with the prevailing legislation. As the issues contained therein remain unanswered, I would appreciate your due diligence in dealing with them.

Yours Faithfully,”

Thankyou Scabhunter. That's a cracking letter and one which I'll post off straight away. The sneaky b****rds have also somehow managed to acquire my landline phone number so I will also ask them to communicate in writing only.
Thanks again

Re: DaveyBoys UE enquiry

Letter received today from Moorcroft thanking me for my letter requesting a copy of the credit agreement. They inform me they need the £1 fee to process my request.

This is their reply to my account sold in dispute letter. Any suggestions? I messed up early doors on this one as I never sent Barclaycard a Missing Prescribed Terms letter in response to the original UE CCA request I received so is it worth paying the £1 and getting the paperwork correct this tine around or has anyone else got a better suggestion?

Cheers all

As you have not responded to the Default Notice you were sent by Mercers Debt Collections Ltd, payment of the outstanding amount shown is now due in full. Please note we will no longer send monthly statements to you (Never had a statement of Barclaycard yet).
Credit Reference Agencies
This formal demand is a legal doc. We are notifying you of our intention to file a default at the credit reference agencies (That happened 5 years ago!). We always let credit agencies know when a customer has failed to meet the terms of the Formal Demand for payment and the payment has not been made. This may affect your ability to get credit from other lenders.
If you do not make a payment or reach agreement with us by 9th Sept we may pass your account to a specialist collection company in your area and a local representative may call at your address to arrange repayment of this debt. We may transfer money that you have in barclays current savings or other accounts to reduce or pay off the amount owed. Your t&c clearly state we can do this if we need to.
To stop further action you must call asap.........IGNORED

Oct 2012 - Letter recieved from Credit Solutions Limited in response to my doorstep visit. Says 'Internal investigation has taken place into this matter' goes on to say 'As per request contact number has been removed and all future correspondence will be via writing'. Also states 'Doorstep visits are simply another option available to assist customers in paying debts' and 'OFT guidelines state doorstep visits must give adequate notice of time and date of visit' and 'The Armstrong v Sheppard (1959) case you quoted is dependant on individual circumstance and only such order to refuse access can come from a Court and not from the individual'........FILED
Oct 2012 - Letter recieved from Credit Solutions - Opportunity to save £££'s, Despite numerous attempts to contact you balance remains unpaid and following discussions with our client we are now able to offer a reduced sum using a tailored instalment programme.

Nov 2012 - Letter recieved today from Credit Solutions in reply to my harassment follow up letter. They can confirm that they stand by their previous response and are unable to guarantee that a doorstep visit will not take place. It then carries on with the usual rubbish about it simply being another option available to assist me, quotes subsection 2.12 of the Office of Fair Tradings guidlines about adequate notice being given and that an order to refuse access can only come from a court and not an individual. They have again enclosed the company's complaints proceedure and a Financial Ombundsmen Service leaflet for my reference.....Will see what follows
April 2013 -Letter from Moorcroft Debt Recovery Limited. They have been instructed by Barclaycard to collect my overdue debt. To prevent our recommending to our client that further debt recovery action be undertaken it is essential that you settle this debt without delay. Both our client and we do not wish to take this action but if agreement cannot be reached we may have no alternative.

Just in case you don't know already, they are one of the most useless DCAs out there. Nothing to worry about.

Moorcroft are easy. They don't have a clue

That bodes well then as they've also been assigned by Santander to collect my Cahoot Flexiloan which is currently on hold whilst Santander get back to them
