Fightinghard's Diary

Type of account: Halifax Bank Unsecured Loan
Date commenced: - April 2010
Approx. balance: - £4500
Date of last Full payment: - March 2013
Current Arrangement: - No payment made since May 2015 (Self-managed DMP before that from May 2013)
Status: - Defaulted- 1 August 2013
Account owner: - Still with OC

22 June 2015 -C.C.A Request (Section 77) using template letter sent with £1.00 P.O (and Proof of Posting).
17/07/15 Letter from Halifax acknowledging receipt of my request under Section 77 (1) of the C.C.A. 1974 for this loan agreement and advising they are processing their response which will be with me shortly.
10/08/15. Letter from Halifax (dated 04/08/15 ) the gist of which requests all missing payments to be made within 7 days of date of letter (i.e. payments by 11/08/15) otherwise further recovery action could be taken. (IGNORED)
24/08/15 - received C.C.A.( with covering letter from Bank dated 20 July 2015 !!!)
25/08/15 - letter requesting payment of arrears of payment plan or contact them to agree alternative repayment options otherwise they may commence legal action.(IGNORED)
310/8/15 - C.C.A. sent to Niddy
1/9/15 - Niddy says "quite simply as no signed page sent (which Creditor should hold if taken out in Branch) therefore as the paperwork sent to me is both undated and unsigned it technically has nothing to do with me hence advises that Missing PT's template letter should be sent.
1/9/15 - Missing PT's template letter (sent with proof of posting)
11/09/15 - Letter from Retail Recoveries, Rosyth, advising that account has been passed to them and would I now cough up every last penny please or give them a call to discuss the position (Fat chance of either say I !!)
11/09/15 - Response letter sent instructing Retail Recoveries to read carefully and assimilate the contents of my 1st. Sept. MPT template letter
(to which I have yet to receive a response- probably a bit soon but they can take all the time they like.!)
16/9/2015 - Niddy advises that faults in this Agreement can be remedied and as post April 2007 it is now virtually impossible to be successful following the UE route.
I appreciate the situation and guess I will probably have to cough up something eventually but I intend to bugger them about as much as possible while saving the money I was paying them until I finally hit the brick wall. Hopefully this will be with a DCA by then and I am able to sort out an acceptable F & F. Even more hopefully of course it will drag on till SB but I am not holding my breath !!
24/09/2015- Template letter from Halifax (dated 3 Sept. 2015) with C.C.A attached.
Apart from the date on their template letter, everything is a straight photocopy of the documents Halifax supplied to me on 24 August 2015 hence containing the same faults as in that 24 August paperwork.
In view if this I intend to send to them again the "Missing PT'S" template letter (unless anybody has any other suggestions).
07 /10/15 - Letter received from Halifax Bank stating that at present they are unable to locate the original agreement (this probably explains why the 2 recon, C.C.A.'s they have sent me contain identical errors) but their process has always been to obtain a signed credit agreement before granting any credit facility and the agreement was, therefore, validly executed and remains enforceable. They further state that default under S 77 does not relieve any liability to pay any interest or default sums nor prevent a default notice being issued (it already has been-in August 2013) and that as a matter of law the absence of the copy agreement (do they mean original agreement??) does not stop there being a valid agreement therefore under S. 127(1) C.C.A. 1974 the Court will allow the bank to enforce the agreement. The letter then outlines the nasty things that could/will happen to me if I fail to maintain repayments

07/06/ 2017- Letter received from Halifax Bank (Credit Operations Rectifications- Brighton) advising me that in November 2015 some changes were made to the system they used to manage my account which meant that when I missed payments on my account they didn’t write to let me know. They express sorrow that this happened and that it has taken so long for them to resolve and that they intend not to apply any interest to my loan or apply any charges for payments missed during this time. However they want to help me get my account back on track and to help with a repayment plan I can afford they enclose an Income and Expenditure form for my completion and return within the next 30 days otherwise interest and missed payment charges will begin to accrue.

I guess now I need to start the process all over again with a C. C. A. request and hope that they still can’t locate the original agreement (as they couldn’t last time in Oct. 2015) so I can go down the Missing PT’s route etc.
Any advice will be appreciated tho.

Ok- Received first letter from Capquest followed the next day (today 31st) by telephone call. (Unknown number shown and call therefore ignored as is my way with such numbers,but subsequent Google search showed it to have been Capquest so I have allocated their number a "silent" ringtone and I will not now be bothered with any phone persistence on their part but their calls will register and enable me to record them in my files at my leisure.

I wonder why Wescot have decided to use this other trading name- just an attempted " frightener" perhaps!. Anyway there have been a few sporadic phone calls since the 31st March letter, (all of which have not been answered thanks to caller display) and I intend again to "lie low" with regards to this letter and wait and see what "further action to re-establish contact with me" entails.
