OK to send CCA request to claimant's solicitor instead of claimant?

[nexatron]

Just to reiterate a previous point. I sent the CCA request off to Bryan Carter, rather than Lowell, as I received aprevious co-op CCA that Wescot posessesed via a request to Bryan Carter, not Westcot and Bryan Carter was stipulated on the claim form as the address to send documentation.

Is this OK? :beagle:

The protocol should be to send a CCA request to the claimant, who will be the account owner. The solicitors act as agents for the court proceedings, so CPR requests go to them. I can't why this would be a problem providing you have proof of delivery and allow extra time for compliance. Do you have the proof?

Yes. The CCA request was sent via 1st class signed for delivery. I acted quickly on this, perhaps a little too quickly, as I didn't fully interpret the protocol. However I have sent CCA requests to clamant's solicitors in the past and I am already in possession of a CCA from this creditor (co-op) when the the debt was assigned to Wescot. :tinysmile_twink_t2:
