Re: mehim's UE Diary

Should I maybe send the missing prescribed terms letter to Scott?? or go with what you suggest SH?

Many thanks

With that new information I would send Missing PTs instead. Either is accurate, but that might just fit in better with what has happened before and allow you to build a better trail of evidence.

Re: mehim's UE Diary

TY SH,

I`ll sort that out tomorrow as it will need some tweaking. I`ll post it up just to check I`ve made the right changes to it.

I`ll also get working on the one to Cabot regarding CITI

Many thanks.

Re: mehim's UE Diary

Hi SH,

I have had a look at both of the templates and as the Our Templates | Unenforceability Templates | CCA Query - Application Form Received also mentions the missing prescribed terms I think i`ll send it.

I have done a draft copy and would like to send it to you for your once over if that is ok.

Many thanks.

Re: mehim's UE Diary

An unedited copy should be sent really Mehim

[Mehim]

Re: mehim's UE Diary

Hi Vint,

yes i know but it is getting complicated, The OC has ignored the CCA request, Experto sent an application form that Niddy said was , now this latest lot are in it for Experto. (sending the same application form)


The un-edited version doesn`t really make sense if i send it to them.

Re: mehim's UE Diary

Just be careful not to acknowledge the debt in any way.

[Mehim]

Re: mehim's UE Diary

That`s why I wanted SH to check it over, as it happens, this is one that was sold before the DN remedy period and it also appears to be short on the actual 14 days as well.

TY

You spoke about it in an earlier post, saying if there was a friday within 4 days of the date it was in trouble. turned out the 4th was friday and that was the date on the DN not the day i got it

Indeed Mehim, that will come into play later if they do get silly and go to court.

Re: mehim's UE Diary

OK got the all clear on the tweaked version so i`ll get that posted off tomorrow.

Many thanks for looking it over SH
