It was a pleasure to help you with this. I hope it is reassuring for other forum members that should a creditor such as PRA Group (UK) Limited issue, the claims can be successfully defended, even when it appears at first blush that documentation is enforceable.Originally posted by DeaconsRevenge View PostLegal Disclaimer
