That is brilliant news, well done to everyone at Joanna Connolly Solicitors. As Di keep telling everyone, ‘it’s in the detail’ and ‘there are lots of things to check other than the agreement’!

This is fantastic news, well done to all.

Hi All, Happy 2020.

Sorry threads been quiet but nothing really to much to say just ignoring them lot mostly.

2 1/2 year in so far, nearly half way come the 2020 summer. Some useful tips. Remove voicemail from mobiles, block all numbers they use.
For home phones get a block service. Am with Sky so I use sky screening. Once you block there calls the automated mails go away.
Not had any calls now for about a year. Summary of latest changes below.

Here to another year

Cheers R

-HSBC OVERDRAFT - Now moved to cabot jan 19

I see that both your HSBC debts have been assigned to Cabot this month.

Did HSBC amalgamate the two accounts before selling them as one debt? This should be clear if you've received two separate letters, or was there only one Notice of Assignment?

HSBC typically combine debts before assignment which can make life difficult for them if/when they issue legal proceedings.

And is the new debt owner Cabot Financial (UK) Ltd? It matters.

I also see that you sent a s77-79 CCA Request to HSBC for the loan, and you then sent the response to Niddy for his opinion. What was his verdict?

Hi Di,

No they have kept the debts separate and they are both in the name of Cabot Financial (UK) Ltd HSBC notification dated 27th Nov 2019.

Niddy found all mine enforceable as they are all relatively new.

Hi Di,

Niddy found all mine enforceable as they are all relatively new.

Even if a credit agreement is enforceable that doesn't necessarily mean the debt will be enforceable.

Cabot Financial (UK) Ltd are not authorised by the FCA so it'll be interesting to see what their next move will be, since issuing legal proceedings would be unlawful.

Jo explains this here >

On 24 April 2019 we were successful in a consumer credit Appeal on the issue of FCA Authorisation - or rather, lack of FCA Authorisation. Idem Capital Securities Limited admitted in court they were not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority to exercise the rights of a lender but said they were exempt as they had a valid servicing agreement in place with an affiliated 3rd party who was authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority.

It was accepted by both parties that there was a valid servicing agreement in place. The issue for the Circuit Judge to decide whether Idem Capital Securities Limited could rely on the exemption under paragraph 55 of the Schedule to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Exemption) Order 2001 to issue proceedings in the county court.

The Circuit Judge held as a general principle of law that Idem Capital Securities Limited was not able to rely on the FCA authorisation of an affiliated 3rd party ( paragraph 55 of the Schedule to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Exemption) Order 2001) for the purpose of bringing a claim. The agreement was unenforceable, and the order of the court below was set aside, and the Claim dismissed.

Idem Capital Securities Limited did not appeal the judgment.

Did Cabot carry out their threat to instruct solicitors last month?

I can see you sent a CCA Request in August 2017 but I can't see what response you received from HSBC (if any).

My apologies if that's posted elsewhere on your thread.

Was the account assigned to Cabot Financial (UK) Ltd which is not authorised by the FCA to issue legal proceedings ?

Hi Di,

Yes its Cabot Financial (UK) but yes it looks like they gearing up to have a go at the two accounts, loan and current account.
