• Are you on arrangement or not paying- Was making sporadic reduced payments until March 2015
• Status- Default May 2013
• Account owner- Tesco Bank? or Cabot?

2016- At some point Tesco made some credits to this account for wrong interest charges or something, I cant see them now as Tesco has gone from my noddle report

27th November 2017 Letter from Cabot saying account has been reviewed for legal action giving me 28 days to respond

Should I wait closer to the 28 days to send CCA?

[The Tech Clerk]

why wait> Reason?????

[Marly]

No reason, I shall do it today then

[Still Waving]

Personally, I would wait a bit. You don't want a quick reply from them arriving just before Xmas

[The Tech Clerk]

They will if they deem fit to start legal action without the response to a CCA request regardless, as they will have time during proceedings once started to supply or not. chance of a CCA request stopping action Ummmmmmm??????????well???

What I meant was - they have been given 28 days to respond, why not leave it till mid/late December so that it is on their desk over Xmas. It's not nearing SB, so they are not likely to do anything in advance of their own deadline, or start legal action on receipt of a CCA request.

I am going to send a SAR to Tesco as I know they credited the account, but I cant remember the exact reason, I know Tesco had done something and apologised but I cant find the letters at the moment, do I put both the account numbers on the reference on the Sar template as there are 2 accounts. Also is it ok to send a cheque as this has now been sold or is it better to stick with postal orders?
Thanks

I have found one of the letters which was a refund of interest and charges from 2012 until 2016 as they identified they hadn't sent a notice and sums of arrears, in accordance with the Consumer credit act. ( I have no idea what this means) there were 2 credits to the account though and its the 2nd letter I cant find.

I may know what that means

It could be section 86(c) CCA https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga...39/section/86C

Is the current owner of this debt Cabot Financial (Europe) Ltd or Cabot Financial (UK) Ltd which is unlicensed?

Di

[Marly]

They sent a couple of sums in arrears notices, should they have sent these before they marked a default on my file, that said I don't recall ever receiving a default notice though either.

Its Cabot financial (UK) Ltd

I'm hoping this is a template letter they have sent as it looks like they have taken a part out as there is no (a) in one part and it starts at (b).

[Still Waving]

It is a standard stance (quoting Carey) taken by many creditors/DCAs. They sometimes include it when they initially send something in response to a CCA74 request.

Thanks I though it may be a dca template letter like the ones we have, I googled a paragraph of it to see whether anyone else had asked the same, and it appears to be a popular letter to send by creditors.

Also is it ok to send a cheque as this has now been sold or is it better to stick with postal orders?
Thanks

Could somebody confirm if it is ok to send a cheque or better with PO, and whether it is ok to just put one account number on the SAR or whether I need to put both? I would like to get this sent to Tesco ASAP so I have the info before Cabot start throwing their toys around.

thanks
