Re: fwil's diary

Moorcroft Debt Recovery is a Debt Collection Company. ... They will attempt to collect the debts before selling the debt to a third party debt collection agency (debt buyers). These debt buyers purchase debts at a percentage of the outstanding ...

Re: fwil's diary

Sorry, yes its obviously not been sold. So, I'm thinking I should ignore anything from Moorcroft until it gets sold?

Re: fwil's diary

If an account gets sold then you would receive notification from the seller & purchaser usually in the same envelope .

Re: fwil's diary

if you wish you could send a 'Sold in dispute' letter to moorcroft, even if it has not been sold to them it has been passed to them for collection ( we don't have a passed while in dispute template ) it can be a sign that you have pointed out your request has not been dealt with, also can add more time before they take it any further xx

Re: fwil's diary

Thanks, have finally subscribed to aad+ and had a look at the templates. I'll write to Moorcroft using bits of the 'in dispute' template with bits of the 'CCA signature requested' as explanation for the dispute. Unless anyone thinks this is a bad idea?

I'm not sure of the worst possible outcome if I don't reply within 7 days to Moorcroft (they say they would suggest further action to OC).

Re: fwil's diary

I would just send the SWID letter as it is, let Moorcroft find out what the dispute is about. and further action could be we can't do anything pass it on

let us know what you get back xx

Re: fwil's diary

DCAs always use the term "further action" to try and scare you. As NW says, it might be that they pass it on to another DCA, send it back to the OC or it could be that they'll write to you again. Moorcroft are quite easy to deal with...I've seen them off a few times.

Re: fwil's diary

Finally got an answer from Tesco regarding providing a CCA.

They say they're unable to provide it as the account is closed. Under the Act we only have a duty to give info only to a debtor under a running account credit agreement. We've enclosed the cheque provided with your request.

Hoping this is good news but not sure? Its with Moorcroft who want an update after i told them i was awaiting the CCA.

Thanks for any advice.

Re: fwil's diary

They are muppets. A "running agreement" does not mean it's live. It means that you have a credit limit and if you pay it off it's available again.

Best response is none. They are default of your s.78 request.

Thanks. I'd prefer to reply to Moorcroft who've given 7 days before taking further. I know I probably don't need to but would it do any harm to tell them I haven't had the CCA so it is still sold in dispute I may mention that they hadn't actually enclosed the cheque either!

Yes it could do harm because you're potentially giving them opportunity to rectify the default. Right now they're in default of your s.78 request so you don't want to be giving them any hints to put that right.

Best thing to do now is give them static and wait and see how Moorcroft react.

Thanks. Sorry, should I know what you mean by give them static? Do nothing, i guess?

Re: fwil's diary

silence - sometimes - can be the best way forward. Replying *can* create manual intervention which means less chance of getting to SB.....
