As has been said you can email a credit agreement to Niddy (the forum owner) who will give you his opinion on whether it's enforceable or not using webmaster@all-about-debt.co.uk

I would add that there are many reasons for a debt to be unenforceable in court bedsides the actual credit agreement. The debt owner has to have complied with all their statutory duties such as any Default Notice and/or Notice of Sums in Arrears if applicable.

It's also important for them to be able to prove their legal ownership of the debt if it has been assigned to a debt purchaser by the original creditor which PRA were unable to prove in the case of PRA v Diana Mayhew ( me )

‘“RECONSTITUTED AGREEMENT” – IRREDEEMABLY UNENFORCEABLE”
“UNREDACTED DEEDS OF ASSIGNMENT – NO ASSIGMENT PROVED”


So, held Recorder Bellamy in PRA Group (UK) Limited v Mayhew at Central London County Court on 22nd March 2017, at the end of a 3 day multi track trial, when dismissing PRA’s claim against our client.


Stale debts sued for on the back of 2 ‘reconstituted’ MBNA credit card agreements (May 1999 and October 2000) were held irredeemably unenforceable under CCA 1974. The evidence of an honest witness was preferred to that of so called “reconstituted agreements”.


After 3 days of close forensic examination of, and legal argument about, evidence and documents from both PRA and MBNA stating that our client’s specific debt had been assigned, the court held that no assignment had been proved.


Efforts, over many months, in earlier cases to force PRA into disclosure of un-redacted deeds and deep and sustained forensic challenge to the provenance of documents needed to prove regulatory compliance, finally drew back the veil. The reality behind bulk debt purchasing was revealed.


This decision shows that just saying an agreement is enforceable and producing a “reconstituted” copy does not prove that it is enforceable. Just saying an agreement has been assigned and producing a notice saying it has been assigned does not prove legal assignment.


Debt purchasers need to provide proof. If that means the pitifully few pence in the pound they pay for stale debts will increase because banks will now have to start keeping original evidence complying with regulatory consumer protection measures, it is hard to imagine many tears being shed, outside the City of London.

Have you emailed your credit agreement to Niddy (forum owner) for an opinion on whether it's unenforceable or not?

Even if the agreement is enforceable there could be a myriad of different legal reasons for the debt to be unenforceable if the creditor hasn't complied with all their other statutory duties.

I look forward to helping you when you you're ready
