I have an update to above account:

UPDATE: 31/08/12:

Letter from Wescot (as expected): "...been instructed by our client to collect outstanding balance...to avoid further action you should pay the debt in full OR contact us..."

I assume I need to send "account sold whilst in dispute" template letter?

Many thanks, in anticipation, of your reply

Re: October Revolution's UE Diary

Well it is

Based on what they sent anyway - however have you actually formally done a s.78 request?

In the meantime I would simply send back the missing PT's template....

Hi,

Thanks for that Niddy.

I did send a CCA request to Tesco way way back in October 2010 to which they sent back an T&c's to which I responded with the appropriate letter.

They came back with its a "true Copy". Then its done the rounds with Triton, Green & co Solicitors, Allied International, Fredricksons, Bryan Carter, Wescot, Nelson Guest, Wescot (wow didn't realise how busy I'd been).

I was just put on the back foot after all this time, it's the first time anyone of them has produced this document. I can only assume, and as you say its UE, they haven't got much to go on as none of them have taken this any further.

I will respond with the letter you have advised.

As ever many many thanks for your help - I do really appreciate it.
