Dear Westcot.
I have ignored you on several occasions, a solution will not be agreed, the discount is unacceptable, I will consider a 100% discount and closure of the account,
Save your postage, don't contact me, I won't be replying
Enjoy your weekend

I too had been threatened by a DCA, they were going to take my home and put my children on the streets, according to Miss Ahbah, not her real name, from 1st Credit.
But being the little sh1t I am, I took up the gauntlet and smacked her in the face.
Wrote a strong letter of complaint, said I had recorded the call was going to take it as high as I could.
The reply was they would accept my payment of £2.50 till the 12th of never.
I sent for CCA, Niddy stepped in. I claimed PPI and never paid a penny to them again.
what a joy.

Debt 2 Account Westcot
Personal Loan originally with Santander
Commencement date 2010
Approx balance £3100
Last payment June 10th 2020
CCA request sent 3rd of April, letter received from Westcot 29/04/20 acknowledging CCA request, 18/05/20 second letter received documentation enclosed,
all seems to be in order, then unusually and not to form I receive a third letter on the 29/06/20 from Westcot saying they are now investigating the account
and they will not contact me or collect any monies whilst the investigation takes place, I would have thought this should have been the second letter,
may be the CCA sent should be looked at professionally, I await the outcome of the investigation.
08/03/21 Letter received from Westcot -

Good morning Warwick
sorry for a slow response, the CCA was sent to Niddy and would seem to be UE, no terms.

I agree with Warwick, there's nothing you need to do since the debt is currently unenforceable.
Santander can be slow to sell on their debts so you'll just have to wait it out.
They've already used Westcot Debt Collection Agency, and now Moorcroft, but they'll run out of people to hound you eventually.
It's too soon to send them a SAR but that might be useful further down the line.

It's also encouraging to see the decision not to issue legal proceedings against you was as a result of a review of your account which may have meant they realized that this debt is unenforceable.
It's a pity they didn't do that before instructing Judge and Priestly solicitors after having sent you a series of letters threatening you with a county court claim and mentioning a potential charging order on your home, attachment of earnings, warrant of control (bailiffs) and so on.
Well done for not surrendering to their pressure which can feel like bullying at times.

So Intrum have engaged Judge and Priestly solicitors to send you a 'Letter of Claim'. It appears they have not instructed the firm to issue a county court claim for this debt where the credit agreement has been deemed unenforceable.
When you receive the 'Letter of Claim' feel free to email it to me.
In the meantime read this post by Jo which highlights the other difficulties Intrum may face if they do issue legal proceedings >

We look forward to using the same legal arguments in the future against Intrum UK Finance Limited which we used against Idem Capital Securities Limited in the recent successful FCA authorisation Appeal where the Circuit Judge found that the para 55 FSMA 2000 servicing exemption did not allow the unauthorised debt purchaser to issue proceedings in the county court.
Intrum also have issues with their assignment process and documentation.

Timewilltell went through a similar experience with Drydens which had a happy ending as you will see when you read this post. Fingers crossed you Stevo62 will get the same outcome >
Originally posted by Timewilltell View PostI don’t know if this will calm your nerves, I have two accounts with Arrow and their beloved Drysden. Initially I heard nothing for quite a while, then Arrow informed me they’d passed it over to DF to manage. A few letters came asking for payment with threat of legal action. I then received a LBC letter which I then responded with a CCA request to Arrow copied to DF. DF then wrote to say account on hold. Few packages came with statements and account screenshots etc. Few days later DF were resuming legal action. So I wrote to DF informing them that their client had not fulfilled the CCA request but did not tell them which part. Again another raft of same paperwork. Replied to them thanking them for the paperwork but it does not fulfil the CCA request, they then completely disappeared off radar and haven’t heard from them in over a year now? That was for both accounts.

Hello
So Wescot have given up on chasing you resulting in Santander asking Drydensfairfax Solicitors to pick up the baton.
I do hate it when creditors and debt purchasers use solicitors as debt collectors hoping that their headed notepaper will scare you into paying. That's bullying pure and simple.
Sometimes the solicitors aren't instructed by their client to issue legal proceedings especially if the client knows the debt is unenforceable, their 'instructions' will be to chase you to pay voluntarily.
You say the credit agreement sent in response to your CCA Request has been deemed unenforceable so post up when you inevitably receive further correspondence from Drydens.
