Pip's UE Diary

Re: Pip's UE Diary

This one's a bit of a first for me:

FEB Letter from Moorgate Loan Servicing: (referring to "Loan Account Number" -- it wasn't a loan). Not received payment on your a/c. Your a/c will now be transferred to our appointed agents, Arden Credit Management who will contact you to discuss repayment of the outstanding balance. (There is no reference in this letter to the original MBNA account whatsoever)

It might be as well to wait until Arden write to you about your "loan", as the requirements for a credit agreement are different for a fixed sum credit agreement than they would be for a running credit agreement.

Re: Pip's UE Diary

Letter from Sainsbury's We have complied with s.78 // I disagree that the application is unreadable // Agreement is and will remain enforceable /

You will, doubtless, have noticed the contradiction there.

Section 78 requires the creditor to supply a copy of the executed agreement and whilst Carey allows the creditor to reconstitute this from whatever bits and pieces they've found lying about the office or hung on a nail in the executive loo, an application is not an executed agreement.

Also multiple quotations of something I've not read mentioned anywhere else before: The Consumer Credit (Cancellation Notices and Copies of Documents) regulations 1983, SI 1983/1557 (the "Regulations")

Oh, so they've realised that regulation 2 thereof (link) might apply to their illegible crap?

You might also read Consumer Credit (Agreements and Cancellation Notices and Copies of Documents) (Amendment) Regulations 1988 - link, the Consumer Credit (Agreements) (Amendment) Regulations 2004 - link and the Consumer Credit (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2004 - link, in case they have any relevant to what was sent.

Last "full" payment (i.e. within their stipulated minimum): Sep 2010 (approx).
Last DMP payment via CCCS: Dec 2011
Default notice issued Sep 2010.
Status: Last payment in Dec 2011 (smaller amount in Dec 2011 than the regular DMP payment had been up to that month)

2012
JAN CCA request sent to Capital One (Royal Mail delivery conf. printed)
JAN CCA received -- emailed Niddy -- Niddy says
JAN Sent Missing Prescribed Terms letter
JAN Letter from Capital One: IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ AND RESPOND TO THIS LETTER.
We have not received agreed DMP payment. You may need to contact organisation administering DMP to ensure payment has been sent. If we do not receive payment we may pass account to a debt collection agency to recover full outstanding balance or may choose to sell the account to a debt purchaser. If DMP organisation are no longer acting on your behalf you need to contact us to discuss other options to repay the outstanding balance.
FEB Epic four-page letter from Capital One: You have failed to state why you allege the Agreement is improperly executed // [Carey and McGuffick citations] // Your account is fully enforceable // This is my final response in relation to this matter // If proceedings were commenced by you [yeah, as if!] on the basis there is no valid agreement we would strongly defend this. // Account remains defaulted and balance remains fully due and owing. // Among other things, McGuffick established that a creditor's threatening legal action and bringing legal proceedings do not amount to enforcement.
FEB Letter from Fredrickson International: Demand for payment on behalf of "our client"; "We are the agent/contact us, not Capital One"
FEB Letter from Fredrickson: LETTER BEFORE ACTION -- Must be paid in full within 7 days otherwise we will take immediate action // blah list of court/solicitor fees // bailiff or sheriff office may be instructed if x, y, and z // payment accepted by x, y and CREDIT CARD ...
FEB Sent Threat-o-Gram Letter Before Action

And last but not least today:

FEB Letter from Fredrickson: We are unable to provide the documents you have requested. If you require documentation you can request this direct from our Client. // We are instructed to act as agents for our client; all our actions are lawful and on the instructions of our client. // We have removed your phone number from our system and any further correspondence shall be in writing. // We have placed your account on hold for 30 days and look forward to hearing from you with your payment proposals.

Thank goodness they stopped phoning. Niddy's letter that he'd written for Pooks The Bear worked a treat!

Re: Pip's UE Diary

Pip's account no. 7
Sainsbury's
Start date: June 2004
Balance as of Dec 2011: approx. £7,000
Last "full" payment (i.e. within their stipulated minimum): Sep 2010 (approx).
Last DMP payment via CCCS: Dec 2011
Default notice issued Feb 2011.
Status: Last payment in Dec 2011 (smaller amount in Dec 2011 than the regular DMP payment had been up to that month)

2012
JAN CCA request sent to Sainsbury's Bank (Royal Mail delivery conf. printed)
JAN CCA received-- emailed Niddy -- Niddy says
JAN Sent Missing Prescribed Terms letter to Sainsbury's
FEB Letter from Blair, Oliver & Scott Payment not received // Failure to give attention to this will result in further action

Another bumper postbag day ... ... first this one:

FEB Letter from Sainsbury's We have complied with s.78 // I disagree that the application is unreadable // Agreement is and will remain enforceable // Full balance is due and in arrears. Also multiple quotations of something I've not read mentioned anywhere else before: The Consumer Credit (Cancellation Notices and Copies of Documents) regulations 1983, SI 1983/1557 (the "Regulations")

Bit odd, this letter. No proper letterhead, no colour anywhere, just "Sainsbury's Finance" in black Arial Bold (yuk), with a Leeds address on the letter but franked 2nd class with a Birmingham postmark.
