Marly Diary

[Marly]

Cabot seem to be sending out that particular letter recently. Does it have PL1 top left hand corner? Yes it does

As for Cabot Financial (UK) Ltd as Creditor [ Note this and file away]
Keep that notice of sums of arrears safely ( does it mention Cabot financial (UK) ltd as the Creditor?) [Note this and file away] No it says Cabot Credit management group as the owner
The Tesco NOA? [Note this and file away] Nothing to file as I don't have one from Tesco

1/ At some point you will need a SAR from Tesco might be the time to do this! Have already done this, the wrote 5 weeks later saying the do not recognise signature, sent letter back to them
2/ Send Cabot a CCA S.77/79 request. Ok will send next week.

I don't know what others think but 1 an 2 above would probably your next move here.

Thank you

I think you should send the standard one. The enhanced one asks for a copy of the agreement and T&C's. You have already been sent a copy agreement which Niddy has said is UE for now, so I would leave that alone at present.

See what others say.

I have a cover Note on each of my Diary entries and make notes and copies (as reminders) of salient points!
This is what I mean here. by Note and file.

By sending the CCA you are in effect bring issues to Cabots attention (which you need to do!)
The SAR will show what information is available or not to Cabot. The background to a loan can also be important. If Cabot proceed with a claim (under the new system) the SAR will help tactically how you deal with this! Its all about you taking control!

I will send CCA to Cabot next week, and wait until I receive SAR back from Tesco to see what information is in there.

23rd January 2018 Letter re signature sent to Tesco (signed with signature they will recognise) have not included previous names as they only have the one name, or previous address as they have written to to me numerous times at my current address.

By my calculations, the SAR was requested and signed for over 40 days ago, should I send another letter, or just wait a bit longer?

The SAR will show Cabot's interaction with Tesco's which is what you want!

The Tesco letter 22nd January re SAR probably has phone number and reference. I should simply give them a ring and ask. The SAR remember isn't account specific its what they have about you on their files!

[Still Waving]

By my calculations, the SAR was requested and signed for over 40 days ago, should I send another letter, or just wait a bit longer?

I would have thought that you should be counting from the date you sent the request with a signature they would recognise.

[The Tech Clerk]

40 days up go on line and make a complaint to the ICO

I have noticed on my noddle report that 1st credit has changed to Intrum uk finance ltd as registering the account now? I haven't received a letter to say this, and this change is showing from when the account was sold to 1st credit originally, yet 1st credit wrote in February offering a discount. confused!

Debt 5-

• Type of account- Current account
• Date commenced- June 2001
• Approx balance- £2.2k
• Date last paid February 2012
• Are you on arrangement or not paying- Not paying
• Status- Default- May 2012
• Account owner- Halifax

No contact with Halifax since 2012, was a joint account, I asked Halifax to put a hold on the account as I knew ex was going to run the overdraft up. They had me jumping through hoops saying they couldn't as it was a joint account, wrote to them, called them and went into branch on numerous occasions. Ex ran overdraft up so I told Halifax its their problem as the refused to prevent it from happening. Not heard anything since 2012. Will this become SB in June 2018 or is it different for current accounts?

22nd January 2018 statement received from Halifax
6th March 2018 SAR from them shows dispute on account, and that they made the payments on account, there is no DN in there, I don't know now whether they ever issued one.

How would I find out if this account has been defaulted? I have received letters in the past from DCA chasing the full amount, but I cant see anything regarding default from Halifax in the SAR.
If they haven't defaulted it, and as I am just over the 6 years since I paid (but not 6 years from default on credit report) will it still become SB?

Hmmm. That's interesting.

What did the Notice of Assignment say about who owns this debt?

This may/may not indicate assignment issues. And FCA licensing issues too.

[Marly]

I have 3 notices of assignment from last year, they all state 1st credit as the new owner, (they made mistakes on the 1st 2)

There will be two assignment letters one from 1st Credit and the other from Halifax.
Look at the wording carefully because 1st Credit Limited is a Group of Companies BUT the Assignment is likely to have been to another company within that Group

Look carefully at these Assignments for the words legal owner/ownership and the EXACT NAME(S) shown..
