received letter (NOA) in same envelope that, this has been assigned to PRA Group. Just a really nice introductory letter. Unfortunately no Christmas Card...

Have PRA been chasing you for this ex-Halifax debt which was assigned to them before Christmas?

It’s unlike them to stay quiet for long.

I can see you refer to the debt as being enforceable, so I presume that was Niddy’s opinion following a CCA Request you made to Halifax in the past. However, PRA may not have access to the same documents.

Dont send another CCA Request just yet - wait to see how things develop.

When did you last pay anything towards this debt?

I had two accounts with RBS. When RBS owned the debt they provided enforceable agreements. These were then sold to Cabot and when they started adding to the pressure I sent another S78 request . The reply was they couldn’t source it. A few weeks later they closed both accounts , about 3k written off.

so sometimes there is a god

I’ve had a quick look back at your thread but can’t see whether you ever sent a s78 CCA Request to Halifax in the past, although I can see you refer to the debt as “enforceable” in some posts.

However, even if Halifax sent you an enforceable credit agreement, that doesn’t mean PRA will necessarily be able to get their hands on the same document.

Don't send a CCA Request to PRA now. Wait to see how things develop.

When did you last make a payment to this debt? It looks like that may have been before 2016.

Payment of 75% or 75% off. I know either way it’s a no from you ?

75% off, and yes it is no. Bearing in mind the previous correspondence and other factors...

Thanks for your time earlier, it was as usual very helpful.

You're welcome.

Talking things through helps to put things in context, especially if information in some documents 'conflicts' with information in others

The devil is always in the detail!

It’s all about timing - there’s no general rule as each situation is unique.

All very complicated, so how does this/that tactic relate to submitting a CCA request in general?

As I say, all very complicated...

I'm going through something very similar at the moment - I'll update my diary when it's concluded - but my understanding is that if they issue proceedings then the clock starts ticking and the pressure will be on them to produce when asked what they need to prove their case before the various deadlines. Why give them a heads-up and let them get their ducks in a row before they pull the trigger?

That’s exactly the reason.

Plus the fact that no two debts are the same so how they’re managed won’t be the same.

I am confused as to why I wouldn't CCA this?
