    Creditors and subsequent debt purchasers can reconstitute documents in certain circumstances so they don't need the original paperwork from the original lender as long as the information they use to base the recon on is "honest and accurate".

Getting a SAR will not change any of the information so doesnt really help me at this point. I was more interested in the various legal hoops they have to jump through with regards to overdraft debts rather than loans or CC's. without a CCA it makes defending them harder but apparently not impossible. I was wondering if anyone knew what to look out for,
      Lol.

      I had written a long post last evening in response. Unfortunately my internet connection was interrupted.

              Re: Strategy for beating old Over Draft Debt

              Correct me if im wrong. I learn through experience trial and error. Whilst not legally trained i have successfully beaten 4 speeding tickets by using their own system against them. 5 Parking tickets and now im fighting these debt purchasers.

              I was under the impression that these debt companies have to adhere to many regulations under the FCA guidelines. They also have to comply with various CPR rules.

              So if a company tries to claim say £5000 from a person. Stating in their claim form that they own the debt and you defaulted etc etc. They will have to prove to the court that they followed the FCA rules and provided the proof to show that they own the debt and that your owe the debt.

              They seem to claim without any proof or documentation from the start. So why cant you force them to provide all of the proof right at the start via a court order? Court orders come with a time limit dont they? Then if they fail to follow the court order then have it struck out? What is wrong with this strategy?

                The FCA guidelines only relate to the 'conduct' of a business in the way that it trades/does business. They have no relevance to the legal procedure in county court claims.

                The FCA guidelines are just guidelines punishable by a sanction or fine from the FCA if broken (not often enough in my view ).

                  So what regulations force a lender then to provide 14 days between the default warning and and being defaulted? I take it its the consumer credit act?

                  So what rules in the Consumer Credit Act can you use to your advantage?

                        Speeding tickets are dealt with by the Magistrates Court. Debt claims are dealt with by the County Court.

                            Yes i know, but when rules have to be followed then there is scope to beat them at their own game. Understanding those rules is how i learn to beat them. Sometimes a single rule is enough to repeatedly beat them. I found one loop hole with speeding tickets which has served me well for 10 years. What i want to do is find the loop holes in these civil cases and im guessing its learning the Consumer Credit Act.

                              i have read this section and i have seen other cases where this has been used. it seems like a hard way to win a case in court.

                              I understand the need for accurate and honest documentation which is a great way to win a case if they make a mistake such as wrong company names, brand changes or people who never worked for the company at the time signing the documents etc.

                              Do you know anything about the legal requirements around deed and notice of assignments?

                                Or asking someone who already knows the CCA back to front and more importantly knows how to apply it in legal proceedings.

                                Google can help too, albeit in a limited way

                                The bottom line is there is no single "loophole" to defeat claims. There are several statutory measures applying to different situations in different ways at different stages of the proceedings.

                                If there were a loophole it would likely be closed off by an amendment to the CCA.

                                I believe the FCA is looking into making things less consumer friendly in the near future too.
