    Good evening and welcome to LB

    Some detail please.

    When was the last payment or written acknowledgment of the debt?
    What is the default date?

    When sending the £1 statutory fee for the CCA request us a postal order write "for statutory fee only " on it and make a copy to keep for your record Cabot and its solicitors are making claims that " compliant" CCA requests and or stat fees are not being received.

      Hi Nem, thanks for the advice regarding the postal order, I'll make sure to do that. The last payment date was some time early 2011 - no contact since. I don't know the default date.

        Hi Deeb, it would be worth checking your credit reference files ( Noddle is free online) Cabot is full of tricks at present no one knows what they may try next.

            Ties up with your last payment within 6 months of last payment?

            How did you make your payments DD/Standing order/ Over bank counter/ debit card?
            Would you be able to check payments made.

              I think my last payment was early 2011 so yes, the default date is within 6 months of that. I probably paid online with my debit card but I don't have that bank account any more and have no way of checking. Sorry I'm a bit vague - I had a breakdown in 2011 and ended up running away from everything, and there are a lot of things from that time that I've forgotten

                No problem Deeb. it's easy to forget anything when one has health problems or a breakdown!

                It looks your defence may have to rely on non compliance with a CCA request, account opened 2004 ( do you have the exact date?) it's going to be hopefully difficult to get the agreement.

                  Just to update - I've received a letter today 24th March from Mortimer Clarke, here's what they have written:

                  'Thank you for your letter dated 15/03/2016. We are taking or client's instructions in relation to your correspondence and will come back to you as soon as we can. In the meantime, the matter has been placed on hold.'

                  Do I need to notify the Court myself?

                    Unfortunately MC have not agreed to a formal extension of time their " on hold " means nothing in the court process which continues as normal.

                        I am told that many capital One agreements from that long ago are non compliant or unavailable

                        They could fulfil the S78 request by sending a recon or even something with a signature on it

                        Lets wait and see

                        BTW
                        As cases can take many months to actually reach court they could produce the agreement at any time up until the court date, it is supposed to be two weeks before but there are cases where it has been on the day

                          Thought I'd update this thread - it's almost a year on and I still haven't heard anything more.

                            Have you checked with court on the current status of the claim? (Stayed? Discontinued? etc.).
