IMPORTANT UPDATE - HOIST & CABOT CASES
Hi
Regards the issues with Hoist & Cabot - and all previous posts made by me on this; having discussed this in detail with our Solicitor we would suggest you follow the process below. Please remember that the below is generic designed to help protect you from certain actions. As each case may be different, try and use common sense before proceeding with any next steps - if unsure then send me a PM. Click HERE to PM me.
Additional - SAR Request to Original Creditor
For all cases above, if you have not requested SAR from the Original Creditor then it would be wise to send a request (it costs £10) - this will save time long term but only do this if the DCA (Cabot or Hoist Portfolio) have written to say they've sold the account to Restons / PRA / Shoosmiths. Template to send is HERE
Additional - LBA Response to solicitor acting for Hoist / Cabot
This is a new template specifically designed to respond to a legal threat from Hoist or Cabot's law firm (PRA / Restons / Shoosmiths). Only send this if you get an LBA from one of the solicitor firms mentioned. ** LBA TEMPLATE **
I hope the above makes sense but if not please PM me. I do not want to discuss tactics publicly here where the solicitors named herein are known to browse AAD

Option 1 - CCA Sent in the past which was Unenforceable / Incomplete
In this situation it would be wise to leave things well alone and literally respond with a simple 'this is in dispute' template. The template to send is HERE
Option 2 - CCA Sent in the past which was Enforceable and remains with the same DCA as the last CCA Request
In this situation it would be wise to send a new CCA Request to the DCA unless you did one in the last 90 days, in which case you need to determine whether writing back is wise or not. So if the CCA was last requested within the last 3 months then I'd suggest you update your diary and PM me so I can check things for you. If however you last sent a CCA request over 3 months ago, send another (to the DCA). Template to send is HERE
Option 3 - CCA Sent in the past which was Enforceable and has been sold to a new DCA since your last CCA Request
In this situation it would be wise to reissue a new CCA Request to the new DCA as documents do get lost in translation so what was once EN / UE, may no longer be. Template to send is HERE
Option 4 - No CCA ever sent
If you have never sent a CCA Request then do one asap! This would be sent to the DCA with a £1 fee. Template to send is HERE

a good while ago. It has fairly recently been acquired by Cabot, the UK version, and they have been suggesting that they will refer the account to Shoosmiths. I intend to SWID cabot as well as SAR Cap1, unless anyone has any alternatives ??
