Flossy UE Diary & YB Hassle

Re: Flossy UE Diary & YB Hassle

Hi P1,

Thank you for your reply.

Cabot is a bit of a weird one. Originally, I had a bank account with Yorkshire bank, O/D and CC. The O/D was sold to Cabot without me being informed last year and Cabot's in house solicitors sent me court papers literally straight after they bought the account! Due to bad advice from another forum who also did my defence for me I ended up having to use Watson's to get me a deal and Tomlin Order.

My CC which was also sold at the same time without me being informed have been on my case ever since. I sent a CCA in January 2012 and got a reply of a CCA which parts was illegible and UE as Niddy had looked it over, yet I was still always paying £1pm to keep them quiet. After Niddy looking at my CCA again he said it was definitely UE and therefore I stopped paying the £1pm recently, this is when they have started with their threats, etc.

I have tried PT letter, Threat to commence litigation, UE creditor refusal to accept & final response.

1 October - I received a letter from Cabot saying "You had failed to make the repayments on your account with Cabot. Unless you contact us within the next 7 days to discuss your account we will take further action to recover the full debt.
Please note that if we commence legal proceedings and apply for a CCJ.............."

Because they where quick to get court proceedings with the O/D both Niddy and I have been a bit on the cautious side with them. But, as this debt is UE I cant keep avoiding this now and paying £1pm.

Cabot's letter 19 October 2012

"Dear .....,

Important Notice - Please Do Not Ignore

We wish to advise you that your account continues to be in default of payment. Despite previous correspondence and requests from us, you have failed to settle, or set up an arrangement on your account. Accordingly, the outstanding balance is payable immediately.

If you do not take action

If you do not take any positive action to settle the outstanding balance with us immediately, we may forward your account to an external Debt Collection Agent or commence legal action to recover this debt if your account meets our litigation criteria.

Please note, that if we commence legal proceedings and apply for a County Court Judgement, further costs may be applied to your debt in the event that judgement is granted and as a result of any enforcement action that we may subsequently apply for.

Contact Cabot Immediately"

That was the last letter from Cabot. Hope this helps you P1. Thanks for looking at this for me it is very much appreciated x

UPDATE MBNA 1 & 2 Letter before COURT ACTION


MBNA 1(Virgin CC)

MBNA £20k
defaulted may 2011
bought by Britannica S.A.R.L Mortlake (Moorgate)
Passed to Arden Credit
CCA request sent Jan 12, received back Feb 12
Told it is .
Now at Earlswood & Co Solicitors - given 7 days before action.

MBNA 2

MBNA £6k
defaulted may 2011
bought by Britannica S.A.R.L Mortlake (Moorgate)
Passed to Arden Credit
CCA request sent Jan 12, received back Feb 12 - Further CCA sent by MOORGATE June 12 which is different to the first CCA
Told both are Enforceable.
Now at Earlswood & Co Solicitors - given 7 days before action.

Both accounts have had letters sent as per normal -

PT letter, Threat O Gram, etc. They will not accept any further delay hence being passed to a Solicitor.

16 October 2012 - Wrote to Earlwood Solicitors sent a copy of the letter to Arden.

Letter basically was to stall them from taking any action while I work on a 'please write this debt or at least a good % of it off as I will not be able to pay them the amounts owing for quite some time due to me being unable to work due to being so ill." I also emailed it so that it would get there quicker. Just need to work on the letter now and send to Niddy to have a look at before sending.

Update 2 November 2012


Not heard anything back since sending my 'stalling letter'. I will have to look through a few of the templates and make into one letter as said above to try and get these debts written off. I am unsure as to if they would know anything about my circumstances and/or look into these before considering anything? But the fact of the matter is that I can not pay them and it would takes a very long time to pay off at something silly like £1pm!

If anyone has done anything similar with illness but has their circumstances to watch I would appreciate a little advice or more of a better idea as to where to start with this letter. I will start it off and see how far I get and get Niddy to look through before I send anything.

So, that's my next plan of attach for MBNA 1 & 2

I agree, give it a go - see what they say... no harm, and like you say they may not be aware so letting them know you're extremely unwell might help, although if they want to be wankers they will issue a claim regardless... sadly.

Get back to them asap if you can.... best of luck

Re: Flossy UE Diary & YB Hassle

UPDATE - HALIFAX CC

Halifax CC
Defaulted March 2011
£10.5k
- Passed to Wescot - Requested CCA January 2012 - Refused as they where not the creditor!

- Re-sent the CCA request - Wouldn't send it to me as above.

- PT Letter sent

- Passed to Robinson Way Limited March 2012 - A/C in Dispute sent

- Robinson Way sent ALL CC Statements - June 2012

- CCA received June 2012 - Told (No PO ever cashed)

- Sent PT letter

- Halifax - July 2012 - Instructed Moorcroft DCA to deal with my A/C
- Moorcroft sending threatening letters & % Offer of DISCOUNT up to 25% or greater depending on circumstances!

- A/C in Dispute letter sent - September 2012

- Halifax replied September 2012 - CCA already sent. That they have complied with with S78 of the CCA that they have provided me with a copy of my CCA. Halifax goes on for quite a few pages basically saying that they have done everything that has been asked of them and the CCA is EN and that they have sent another copy of the CCA, which they previously sent in July after months of requesting it. Niddy deemed this - The Halifax have also mistaken me as being a representative of myself! LOL

- Moorcroft then replied to my A/C in dispute letter Sept 2012 - looking in to it the dispute.

UPADTE OCTOBER 2012

- Moorcroft letter October 2012 - Letter to say that the HALIFAX HAVE NO RECORDS of my original CCA request letter??????please forward this to them to enable them to re-request a copy of my CCA.

- A/C on hold.[/COLOR]

I am slightly confused as they have now sent out a few CCA's and I have requested the CCA by letter from January 2012 - July 2012, which is when they sent the first copy of the CCA!

Really not sure what to send next after Moorcroft's letter? Should I re-send a letter requesting my CCA? Which seems pointless to me after getting 2 already and why do they want a letter on file when I have sent out 4 requests only to be told my signature wasn't signed by hand therefore refused my 4 requests!

I'd just chill, see what they send next.... or write a simple letter explaining the position, spell it out for them?

Re: Flossy UE Diary & YB Hassle

If these are letters of claim from solicitors, they would require a bespoke response as noted here, it is important to respond to such letters and not dismiss them as mere threat-o-grams ---> allaboutFORUMS - View Single Post - Slickfm UE Diary

Thank you for that FP.

I sent a letter back to them on a few days after receiving their letter just to delay things a bit. I explained that the reason about my health issues and that I have been in and out of hospital so much. I also explained that I had tried to contact them earlier by email and fax but they where returned back to me after being rejected.. I explained about not being able to get out of the house as I rely on carers to look after me and post my letters, etc. I said I would be able to do a full letter to Arden Credit on my return home from hospital... which I need to be doing now!

I have been trying to find the right things to say in my letter as I was trying to get these debts written off.

I have copied and paste the letter as above that you have directed me to. So, should I send this one now then? Not sure what to write in the space re the main crux of the dispute is?

Re: Flossy UE Diary & YB Hassle

Hi Niddy,

I did send a copy recorded delivery 1st class as well...

I just need to stay on top of it and things will be fine. I have got a few that need quick responses that I will do as soon as possible. Hopefully that will either stall or work, hopefully the latter!

Need to work on Creation! I haven't been back on there yet to see if there are any updates but I am running out of time with them.

[Never-In-Doubt]

Re: Flossy UE Diary & YB Hassle

I though creation taking action would help resolve this as you get your day in court to argue defective goods, missold and the rest of the huge list. It's not really such a bad thing you know....

That was the last letter from Cabot. Hope this helps you P1. Thanks for looking at this for me it is very much appreciated x

Ok.... they've ignored you basically.

I would suggest you issue a formal complaint (by rec. delivery) and say something like:

FORMAL COMPLAINT

Ref: xxxxxx

I refer to your letter of xx/xx/xx; the content of which has been noted.

Despite numerous letters form myself, you have continually failed to address any of the matters raised to date and instead, now appear to be relying upon bullying tactics to get me to believe you have legally enforceable documents with which to obtain a County Court Judgement.

I therefore refer you back to my letter of xx/xx/xx with a request that you actually address its content and provide a definitive written answer in response under The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations (CPUTR) 2008.

I require your organisation to provide written confirmation that states clearly whether you currently hold an original signed Consumer Credit Agreement, or whether you do not hold an original signed Consumer Credit Agreement pertaining to myself.

For the avoidance of doubt, an original signed Consumer Credit Agreement is just that; not an application for credit and not a reconstructed or microfiched document from other sources but an original and legible document signed by myself.

Please note that until such times as a legible and legally enforceable, original Consumer Credit Agreement can be produced and a copy sent to me by return, then this letter is not an acknowledgement of debt and the account in question will remain unenforceable in line with s.127 (CCA 1974).

Please also note that failure to provide a direct answer to this request will be brought before the court, should you decide to defy the content of this formal complaint and instruct solicitors to pursue enforcement action regardless.

Yours faithfully,


To be honest, the letter sounds like a threat to pass the account on to another bunch of muppets, rather than a serious court threat but it pays to cover your bases anyway....

[Flossy]

Re: Flossy UE Diary & YB Hassle

Hi P1,

Thank you so much for your help on this. I think your right that they have just completely ignored my letter and think they can either scare me into paying what they want or thinking of passing on.. I get the feeling that Cabot would just rather keep you there worrying and since knowing of my last issue with them, hope I will pay up and shut up!

Ive done the letter and its ready to go off in the morning.

Thanks x

Re: ARROW GLOBAL Letter Before Action

I see dryden fairfax have a new chief. She joined last month in another role and is now been promoted to top dog

Ive just been hit by EARLSWOOD & CO for both my EN MNBA accounts (2)!!!!!! Panic Have stalled them but now need to reply quickly!!!!????

Glad things have worked out for your PlanB even if you did have to give up your address... I hope Samsmum has been able to get them off her back also? I dont know where that thread is?

Re: ARROW GLOBAL Letter Before Action

Ive just been hit by a LBA from Drydenfairfax for both my EN MNBA accounts (2)!!!!!! Panic Have stalled them but now need to reply quickly!!!!????

Do you know why your MBNA CCAs were enforceable or is there a slim chance there could be something else wrong with the account such as a bad DN ? Have these accounts been terminated and sold on, and who is the DCA, or have you been dealing direct with MBNA all this time?

[Flossy]

Re: ARROW GLOBAL Letter Before Action

How have you stalled them? What did you send them?

You may want to look at this ---> Letters of Claim - allaboutFORUMS

I sent a letter basically saying that I have just received their letter dated 31.10.2012 due to being in and out of hospital (which is true). I then told them I was in the process of writing to Arden (DCA) with regard to the mentioned accounts and I hope to get this letter off as soon as I possibly can!

I had 3 CCA's come back from MBNA. The first 2 (one for each of the accounts) came back after I requested them in the January 2012 back to me in February 2012. I then got another CCA (after sending the PT letter)which was completely different to the first one they had sent. The 2 where for MBNA 2 (Virgin CC).

Since then I have had a few letters asking for the debt to be paid and threats, etc which I have followed up with the template letters until I got the LBA on 31.10.2012.

As Flower said the CCA's are recon's after Niddy had checked them..

[jon1965]

Re: Flossy UE Diary & YB Hassle

Wish I could help. Pauls thread is really useful so you could ask them for the DN, letter of termination, copy of the original agreement that they will need in court.


Still I wouldn't do anything without some advice from Paul or Niddy

Hi PlanB,

Just to add to what you have asked.

MBNA sold all of their account I believe at around about the same hence everyone getting these LBA now and plus coming up to Xmas!

Mine was sold to Britannica S.a.r.l - Mortlake (Moorgate) and then passed to Arden to manage the accounts, which they have ever since I received the LBA. I believe that they are all part of the company same company using in house DCA / Solicitors.

Britannica - Moorgate, Arden DCA and Earlswood Solicitors.

DN sent in May 2011 for both accounts.

Anything else you need to know give me a shout and if you can help me. It seems that everyone I have seen on here have had UE accounts with them!
