10/5/18-Letter received from Lowell’s dated 4/5/18 stating they haven’t heard from me , contact to make arrangements but this time saying they WILL take further action to recover debt if no contact made. I still haven’t received the SAR from Vanquis and have noticed the cheque hasn’t been cashed though I do have proof of delivery. How much longer should I give the SAR and if it isn’t received should I take any further action?
20/5/18-Letter received from Lowell’s stating they will now be passing the account to their collections department or one of our approved collections agencies. I was under the Impression Lowell’s were the Collection agency? They are also offering a 30% discount which can be paid in instalments. Any advice about the Collection agency part of my post?

17/12/18-letter recd from Lowell’s confirming no payment is too big or too small, outlining payment examples

29/6/19-letter received from Lowell and Lucas Credit . So it disappear Lowell have now instructed Lucas Credit to take collection action . !have letter is quite threatening and confirms they will instruct Lowells solicitors to take legal action if no solution can be found. So I currently have a SAR request outstanding for the vanquis account. Any advice on how to proceed will be greatly appreciated. Also why would Lowells i struck another company to instruct their own solicitors to take action?
5/7/19-letter before claim (LBC) received from Lowells Solicitors dated 2/7/19.
This LBC covers 3 debts Vanquis, J Williams and also a £95 EE mobile account from sometime in 2005. Should they have sent 3 individual letters as the reply form isn't really set out in a way to cover each individual debt.
I cant say I am surprised I have received this as my last few entries have indicated this was on the horizon. So they are requesting full payment in 30 days from date of letter.
So I am guessing at this stage there is a specific way in which to deal with this claim? I will be honest unless I have a concrete defence I wouldn't want this to get to court, however at the same time I don't have any spare funds to settle this and would only have limited resource to pay in instalments.
31/12/2019- Happy New Year letter, sorry further letter received from Lowells solicitors dated 27th December 2019. They have included a notice of default for the Vanquis debt. This is dated 15th May 2014. They have also once again included the Vanquis CCA and a list of all Vanquis transactions.
On top of this they have also sent what looks like the letter of assignment for the EE account (dated 11/06/2018) and an EE bill from Feb 2016.
The letter confirms what they have sent and confirms the balances of all 3 debts and gives me 14 days to respond from the date if the letter.0nce again it states further action may be taken which may result in a claim form being issued and costs added to the debts.
So just to confirm it would look like following on from me asking for further documents when the LBC was received back in July they have now been able to find the Default notice for the Vanquis account. Though my credit report does show a different default date.
Further advice sought
15/01/2020- So as expected the LBC (dated 13th January 2020) has been received today from Lowells Solicitors giving 30 days (12th February) to make payment/respond. The letter is actually identical to the previous LBC they issued except for the date of course.
So once again they have put 3 debts on one LBC, again I don't know if this is the correct legal procedure as none of the debts are linked in anyway. Therefore if this did go to court I would expect them to issue three separate claims
19/02/2020- county court claim received dated 18/02/20 that covers all three unconnected debts on one claim. Advice sought as to when to complete AOS with a view to maximising time to write defence
21/02/2020- Spoke with Di and advised to send SAR request to Lowell’s
22/02/2020-SAR request sent to Lowell’s 1st class signed for.
18/03,20-SAR request still outstanding. Everything now with Joanna Connelly solicitors who have defended claim on my behalf
J Williams
4/4/18- CCA requested
12/4/18-Letter received from Lowell’s confirming receipt of CCA request.await their response
20/6/18-CCA received from Lowell’s giving until 16th July to respond with any queries
20/6/18-CCA sent to Niddy who confirmed as it isn’t legible and has no date or signature.
12/18-letter recd from Lowell’s offering 20% discount
17/12/18-letter recd from Lowell’s confirming no payment is too big or too small, outlining payment examples

That was probably sent on a 'worth a try' basis
Keep your eye on the post for any Letter of Claim.

19/09/2017-overdraft CCA template letter issued
20/09/2017-CCA request recd and signed for by NCO
25/10/17-letter recd from NCO requesting clarification of current financial position, so please contact us etc etc
31/01/18-Letter recd from Cabot confirming they have taken the account back.It appears that NCO were just an agent of Cabot.As this was the case and NCO never provided the CCA as requested for the overdraft was wondering what next steps should be. I assume a SWID wouldn’t be applicable in this instance? Also is there a different SWID template for overdrafts?
15/03/18-Letter recd from Cabot stating account is being reviewed for legal action.Please reply in 28 days. This action can be avoided if payment plan set up etc etc.
29/3/18-Letter recd from Cabot dated 26/3/18 threatening legal action. I will send the follow up letter this weekend but a bit peeved that they haven’t even given me the initial 28 days to respond
4/4/18- non receipt of CCA 2nd follow up letter issued to Cabot
19/04/18-letter received from Cabot, noting dispute, they will be in touch with original lender and to be mindful it could take 16 weeks to resolve
11/5/18-Letter received from Cabot. Still unable to provide requested docs. Account on hold

8/9/18-letter recd from Cabot stating they are considering sending account to external DCA.
17/9/18-letter recd from Cabot once again threatening Legal Action
6/6/19 - Letter received from Cabot today stating account has been reviewed for Legal Action reply within 28 days to avoid this. So they have sent threatening letters before but nothing has come,however they are now saying the account has been reviewed rather than may be reviewed. So I sent the CCA follow up letter back in April 2018 and never received a direct response. Should I sit tight and await their next correspondence or should I send something to them reminding them they never responded to my 2nd CCA request? The current creditor is still Cabot Financial UK Limited.Are they licensed?
3/10/19 letter recd we need your urgent attention etc etc
18/10/19-potential legal action letter received. no action taken as had them previously and never followed through on threats

A SAR would enclose all letter etc held on your account etc default dates and a notice (if issued) etc etc not just a cca copy of/or not and transactions, some try to convince you that is all they need

15th May letter and CCA received from Santander with transaction log . From their correspondence it looks like they think I have requested a SAR, which I didn’t. The CCA they have sent has an account number but no reference to myself and isn’t signed or dated. Their covering letter states they can comply with legal requirements by sending a copy of the agreement in the same form as the one I would have signed under consumer credit regs 1983. I also note from the activity log that they don’t appear to have issued a Default notice. Any advice bearing in mind their Solicitors did send me the CCA?

12/05/20 letter received from Santander they are unable to provide response due to COVID situation but will get CCA to me asap
13/05/20 letter received from Drydens their client is offering a substantial discount or instalments please contact us before 25/5/20.
I assume best course of action is to sit tight and await their next move? Just out of curiosity if I did make an offer what would be a suggested opening gambit?

Ok so I have just checked my credit report on Credit Karma and discovered the 3 accounts Lowell’s own have increased. They currently have a claim against me which Jo and her team are dealing on my behalf but it looks like they have added the court fees and solicitors costs to the balances and reported this to the CRA. Are they allowed to do this?
