I have never CCA'd Cabot directly, should I do this or go straight to SWID

This morning received two letters one from Cabot....

We have tried to contact you on several occasions to discuss your account. As we haven't heard from you, we are referring your account to MCS.

Mortimer Clarke will want to speak with you within the next 7 days where they will review your situation...

The other letter from Mortimer Clarke

Dear Mrs

We really need to talk to you about the debt £..... owed to our client Cabot Financial (UK) Limited

If you do not contact us within 30 days from the date of this letter....blah blah....

Advice please, as mentioned I have previously done CCA to the original account holder, Niddy seems to think it is enforceable.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I have replied to MCS ticking box D, think I got the form back to them just in time.

I have also sent a CCA (SWID) to Cabot.

There response

"Thank you for your request for information under sections 77-79 CCA. Unfortunately we do not have the relevant information on file, so we will be requesting a copy of the credit agreement and terms and conditions from your lender, as well as a statement of your account. This may take some time, but we will write to you within the next 12 days with an update...

I have also sent a SAR to Halifax at the same time, there response.

"Thank you for your request for personal data we hold for you. We have not been able to process your request because your signature was missing from the request letter...
we need your signature in order to process your request. For your security and so that we can confirm your identity, would you please take your current passport or driving licence and a copy of this letter into a branch and they will be happy to take copies and certify them for you.

Please send the certified documents to the above address..."

This is a letter in response to my reply to their first LBC with completed questionnaire with box D ticked with text from Di used.

"..

You have been told the Sainsbury's credit agreement sent by Cabot is unenforceable so you can tick Box D to dispute the debt on the Letter Before Claim reply form stating that they have not complied with your s 77-79 CCA Request. That's all.

Don't ask them for more information or documents in case they source them

.."

If the documents they have sent are the same seen before these are UE ".. you have been told that the Sainsbury's CCA sent by Cabot is UE. . " IGNORE them!
If these are different then send them to Niddy for review.

Ok, for sake of clarification, I have received a letter before claim ****. In their reply, that have asked for I an E (which I will not supply) to send back within 14 days, but they do not specify any other dates.

****Which is obviously different to a claim letter?! - added to original message.

I understand the STRESS that this is causing.
When I started out to manage my debts I read the government guidelines the various (Bank sponsored) so called charities etc..
Honestly and openly. But neither the Banks nor the DCA's are Charities. Their intent is to benefit from BAD Debt. They see the Debtor as a good investment!! Do you see the hypocrisy here reporting Bad Debts whilst pursuing for the FACE value for which they have paid pennies in the pound!

The Consumer Credit Act is just that for protection and benefit of Us the Consumer. The requirements of licensing etc.. Of Assignment etc.., There is a minefield to be crossed. Its not just the S 77/78 CCA report!
MSC know this! As far as you are concerned they see you as a frightened rabbit easily scared! They are right of course.

Now have they sent a second Letter Before Claim? with a new 30 day response deadline? Or is this in response to your reply to the First Letter Of Claim?

If this is their response to the First Letter Of Claim, then ignore because you have written enough! If they are so confident then why haven't they issued a Claim?

[Strepsi]

MSC are on a fishing trip aren't they! If they are so confident why are they writing to you instead of sending a Claim?

Silence is the best response here!

This is response to the advice suggested by Di, I ticked box D, using wording again advised by Di.

[Strepsi]

Do not enter into any correspondence with MCS What they are really saying is tell US what is wrong so that we can reconstitute Documents etc. and then take you to the cleaners! Only a judge can force you into a I & E disclosure!!

Have you been sent a Letter Before Claim? If Not Silence and wait until they do!
At which time do what Di suggest
tick In dispute
Reason Outstanding S.78 CCA Request.

In the meantime post up here anything else they may pr may not send!

Correspondence received from MCS

We refer to your correspondence dated ..... Please note we have not received your request for documents pursuant to Section 78/79 of the CCA 1974 until this correspondence.

Our client has provided us with the documentation. We enclose the following documents...

I have purposefully with held this info to this forum, as information received is no different to what I have already.

The current balance of your account is £..... The full outstanding balance is due.

We consider that the agreement is now enforceable. If you disagree, please explain why.

Alternatively please complete and return the enclosed I and E form within the next 14 days


Now what, they haven't provided anything different - still waiting for my SAR from Sainsbury.

Its confusing. Niddy said it was EN!! so tactics and timing becomes important here!

1/ Wait to see what Cabot do next! Or their Solicitors!

2/ ONLY IF Cabots Solicitor SEND YOU a Letter Before Claim (LBC) for which you will then have up to 30 days to reply!
Wait for say 25 days send by Recorded Delivery
(i) Send CABOT the SWID
(ii) Send Solicitors the LBC tick Box D state reason for dispute because was sold whilst in dispute.

Notice in this case wait until you are receipt of the LBC!!! File and ignore ALL letters until then!

[The Tech Clerk]

Inquiries into your credit background make up 10% of the pie. Hard inquiries knock a few points off your score. Soft inquiries do not. Checking your own credit is a soft inquiry \;-

Soft check – A soft check is a type of inquiry carried out on your credit report that is not visible to prospective lenders. This type of a check does not affect your credit score or hinder your ability to get credit. You can see these for a period of 12 months.

The following fall into this category:

• When you check your own report, e.g. through ClearScore.com
• When your report is accessed for the purpose of an identity check
• Some lenders offer a soft-check to see whether you will be eligible for a loan (always check this carefully, to avoid a mark on your report)

[Strepsi]

If I looked the once, that shouldn't be an issue?

[nightwatch]

It depends, some say it may flag you up to DCA's some say it only does that if you are applying for credit.
but sometimes you do need to find out whats on there,
so totaly your choice xxx

[Strepsi]

Would there be any harm in me checking my credit file?
