Alison's UE Diary

[Joanna Connolly Solicitors]

Letter before claim was dated May 31st.

I did not complete the tick box form.

I will have forwarded the documents to Niddy tomorrow for an opinion on enforceability.

Okay, then wait for Niddy's opinion on your credit agreement so you can decide how to handle the Letter Before Claim.

Can you also give a brief outline as to what happened after the account was opened in 2003 and when you sent a s77-79 CCA Request to Cabot Financial (UK) Ltd. Just a brief paragraph to put things in context.

And finally, do you know how/why your partner opened the AA branded RBS card?

So you received a formal Letter Before Claim from Mortimer Clarke Solicitors dated 31st May (or was that the date you received the LBC?).

It seems your response (correct me if I’ve misunderstood) was to send a letter complaining of harassment to Cabot on 7th June. You didn’t complete the form you were sent with tick boxes A - D (or did you?).

On the 22nd June Cabot sent you documents which they say complied with your s 77-79 CCA Request.

You've sent those documents to Niddy for an opinion on their enforceability.

Section 77-79 CCA is for ‘information ’ purpose not ‘proof’ purpose so a credit agreement may pass the first test but not necessarily the second.

Post up the verdict when you get it.

Good Evening Di , Moorcroft. I will also edit my post to state the original agreement was dated September 2003. Apologies, I meant SAR to RBS, is that OK?

I'll help you and Alison with this tomorrow.

Hello Alison's Partner

Don't send a s 77-79 CCA Request to RBS tomorrow since they no longer own this debt.

According to you it's owned by Cabot Financial (UK) Ltd. who have intsructed Mortimer Clarke Solicitors to collect the debt.

I'll pop back tomorrow to read everything else in your post - I just wanted to stop you from sending your CCA Request to the wrong people.

I see you/she sent a CCA Request to MDR on August 17th 2017. Who/what is MDR?

I also see Alison was sent a Letter Before Claim from Mortimer Clarke on 31st May.

Response from Cabot (dated June21st), enclosed was what appears to be a properly executed CCA (I will email to Niddy to check as soon as I can scan). Cabot apologised for the breakdown in their service which resulted in them not forwarding the CCA to my when they received from RBS in September. They consider the agreement is now enforceable and they are entitled to consider a CCJ and request us to contact Mortimer Clarke Solicitors to discuss options.

June 23rd -

Letter from Mortimer Clarke (dated June 18th) , acknowledging our letter. For the avoidance of doubt, this firm acts on its client's instructions.

In the meantime, the matter has been placed on hold and no further action will be taken.
