Now even though we know it's a fraudulent copy, at this stage we don't tell them. So obviously that's why we're sending the missing PT's template so as not to give away your ace card ie they sent a fake recon and faked your signature (fraud).

They won't win if they took you to court, put it that way

19/02/14 - 2 Letters from Studio.

1 stating £12 default charge added for non payment and the other contains this: 'As confirmed in a recent court case (Carey v HSBC 2009) Section 78 of the CCA 1974 requires creditors to provide a reconstituted copy of the credit agreement. It further states that of a copy of the original agreement is not required to be provided'. Then later 'We would remind you that the original credit agreement was sent with your order when the account was opened in September 2004. Our customers are asked to sign both copies, returning one copy and to keep their copy in a safe place should they decide to choose repayment by credit terms instead of full payment. By taking advantage of paying the minimum payment every 28 days you are as such subject to the terms and conditions as stated within the credit agreement' and so it goes on....

Do I just ignore, file and wait for the default? Niddy deemed this unenforceable.

25/02/14 Default Notice received, quoting arrears but not sure where they get the figure from, my statement on Saturday shows them quoting a different figure. These were the only one's who refused to stop interest. I'll await the DCA with interest. I take it I don't respond to the Default??

I would send Creditor Refusal to Accept UE Status to keep a paper trail going.

No need to respond to the default, just wait and see who they pass it on to.

By the way, are you keeping the envelopes as well as the letters?

Re: JASSASBLUE - UE Diary

Pixie, thank you, letter will be sent to Studio tomorrow. Yes I am keeping envelopes too, although so far most of them are franked so no date showing, stapled to the letters and filed though. Thanks again!

Re: JASSASBLUE - UE Diary

Ok further to my previous post, I thought I'd update, just in case anyone else is in the same position!! Here is a summary of the letter from American Express:

You have acknowledged receipt of our letter dated 5th February 2O14, in which we have provided a copy of your internet application and relevant Terms and Conditions for the above account. However, you believe the debt cannot be enforced, as it appears you are of the understanding that the Agreement must be signed by or on behalf of the Creditor. Having reviewed the account we do not understand your belief that American Express' failure to physically sign the Agreement you entered into ("the Agreement") renders theAgreement unenforceable without a court order. On or around 6th April 2006, you made an online application for an American Express Red Credit Card. You and your client are well aware that the application was submitted online and not as a paper application.

When making the application, you would have seen the following:
This is a Credit Agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974. Sign it only if you want to be tegally bound by its terms.
Signature(s)of Borrower(r)
To sign the application please tick the box. By ticking the box and submitting the application you will be entering into a legally binding agreement. You proceeded to tick the box, and in doing so, submitted an electronic signature and entered into a legally binding Agreement with American Express.

Niddy's reply, still no signature or signed copy. I will assume still UE. Should I send Creditor refusal to accept UE?

Note to self, not to panic when I get a very cleverly worded letter through the post. It's early days for me and relatively quiet, I still haven't had replies or correspondence to my CCA request from Marlin (Lloyds TSB) or Apex (MBNA) and I sent it 3rd January 2014. I'm sitting tight on those and very grateful for this forum in my moment of sheer panic. Thanks guys!

[Never-In-Doubt]

Re: JASSASBLUE - UE Diary

What I said was that The Consumer Credit Act 1974 (Electronic Communications) Order 2004 came into force in December 2004 meaning any online agreements entered into prior to this date still need a signed executed credit agreement. As yours was after this date the tick in the box is fine, however they should supply a copy of the actual tick-in-the-box as opposed to a signed application, if you see what I mean?

It's all very well them saying you did this, so they need to send a copy then to prove it!

I wouldn't respond yet - see what they send next, keep us updated.

[jassasblue]

Re: JASSASBLUE - UE Diary

Got it - I told you I was having a moment, and no they haven't supplied me with that. I'll keep you posted. I'm sure it won't be long before I hear back from them.

07/03/14 - Letter sent Creditor Refusal to accept UE status

13/03/14 - Letter from Studio

Ok do I ignore this letter please? I've seen one similar on another post and now I can't find it :-(

Thank you for your letter dated 7th March but on noting your comments I must point out to you that we have never stated we cannot produce a copy of the signed credit agreement.

What has been said is that, with requests for a copy credit agreement under section 78 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974, it is sufficient for us to provide a reconstituted copy of your credit agreement together with relevant financial information relating to the account since its inception. It does not have to be the signed copy that would have been stored in our archives from the date the account was opened in **Month/Year**. This was the outcome of the Carey v HSBC Plc court case of 2009.

A reconstituted copy of your credit agreement has been sent to you for this purpose. The credit agreement is regulated by the Consumer Credit Act and the account was opened for the purpose of purchasing goods and services from our catalogues.

During the life time of this account, opened in September 2004, you have received a total of 94 statements, at 28 day intervals, each of which listed all the financial transactions that have been applied since the previous statement was produced. You could choose to pay by instalments but could pay any amount of your choice above the minimum payment detailed on the statements. If your choice was to pay an amount less than the full balance a service charge of 3.1% (or 2.0% if paying by direct debit) of the brought forward was added to the next statement, together with a service charge on any purchase since your previous statement from the date of despatch up to the statement date. The minimum payment is £10.00 or 8% of the outstanding balance, whichever is the greater amount plus any arrears outstanding from the previous statement.

Given the fact that payments have been withheld the default has been registered with all the Credit Reference Agencies and therefore no further credit is available on the account.

A debt exists and we are aware that the Courts would not have the discretion on whether to grant an enforcement order should a default summons be issued by us because of non payment and it was defended on a spurious challenge to produce a copy of the original signed agreement, as defined by Section 61 of the Consumer Credit act 1974. It is only in such circumstances that it would be cost justified to seek to recover originals from our archives.

Regardless of whether we can locate our copy of the original signed agreement, there is no dispute or denial that the goods we supplied have been accepted, retained beyond the free approval period or that they were unfit for the purpose intended and therefore the debt of £****.** is not void or unlawful.

You have already been made aware that it is our policy, if our customers have genuine problems in paying to terms and can support this with information about their circumstances, to accept reduced payments or even suspend payment altogether until their situation improves. Clearly, from time to time we need to review the situation and look to a resumption of payment if there is sufficient improvement in their situation. Alternately to bring the matter to a close we are prepared to consider a realistic full and final settlement offer should you wish to take this option.

It is considered that we have fully complied with your request and therefore this is our final response. If you are dissatisfied with this response to your complaint you may be able to refer the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service.


Sorry for typing the whole letter, do I ignore, they haven't sent me a default either unless it's on the way!
