    Why would it being assigned to a debt purchaser be preferable?

    You've posted that Niddy says the Barclay's loan credit agreement is enforceable, but when an account is assigned the debt purchaser doesn't always have access to the documents held by the original creditor.

    So there is a possibility (no guarantee) that the debt purchaser may not be able to get that agreement if you subsequently send a new s77-79 CCA Request to them.

    Colin explains this here >

    Debt purchasers do not warehouse account documentation and the amount of people who do not choose to dispute an account, assignment or Claim, versus the small amount who do, means original creditors and assignees/debt purchasers do not exchange account documents at the point of assignment for 'economical' purposes. At least economical purposes from their point of view.

    Purchasing parties are usually obliged to report the status of accounts to the original creditors, say on a monthly or quarterly basis for instance. That way the original creditor can monitor which accounts they have sold are performing. It also allows them to understand if any accounts they have assigned are in dispute and, if so, if there is any risk to reputation for them.

    Furthermore, many original creditors won't release documents to even the party who has purchased the account, unless the account is in dispute and there is a valid reason for doing so from their point of view, i.e. a defence or application to set aside a Judgment received by the assignee.

    I imagine that because you are/were paying StepChange, you account was being reported as a 'performing' account and for that reason the assignee won't be able to request documents from the original creditor upon receipt of your CCA request, or that any such request for documents would likely be ignored or at the very least treated as non-urgent. Which it is of course to the assignee who has 12 working days to comply with the request before falling into breach of Section 77/78 of the CCA.

        Almost a year ago (September 2019) Barclays sent you a credit agreement (in response to your s77-79 CCA Request) which Niddy said was enforceable yet they've not threatened legal action to recover the debt so maybe they're not so sure themselves.

        And/or maybe there are other things wrong with the account such as the absence of a compliant Default Notice before they defaulted the account in 2013 (if they did). What was the intended length of the loan when you took it out in 2011?

        Have you been informed that the account has been terminated?

        Perhaps Barclays next move will be to assign/sell this non-performing debt to a debt purchaser.

          ... interesting switch to a Payslip type effort from 2f. One that you open by tearing the edges! Another request for me to call them.
          I had one of these from Wescot chasing for Santander, and wondered if it might be a new ploy to 'encourage' people to open it. We came to the conclusion that it was probably a new batch-processing system that was cheaper and potentially easier to maintain distance from others.
