When was the account opened?
Just because it doesn't have a signature, doesn't make it 'unenforceable'.
For some 'older' agreements a signature is required.
Have a read of the following:

Did they send a Default Notice?
Letters of Assignment?

They did not provide a Default Notice (They merely said that they were in possesion of one)
They supplied a fake letter of assignment but backdated the assignment

In your Defence did you state that they haven't provided a Default Notice and the Letter of Assignment wasn't compliant?

I said in my defense that I have not received a Default Notice but the Judge completely ignored this as the claimant said they have it in their possesion. Also the letter of assignmentwas sent to me 2 March 2022 but says the actual date of the assignment was January 2022 and didn't have a name or department address ---- just an illegible signature. Again ignored by the Judge. Another The hearing has been made for 20th February 2024 -- as now the Claimant has been able to ask the Court to Change the unenforceable agreement into an enforceable agreement--- That has now been granted by the Court

You are attending the Hearing on the 20th is that correct?
You could write a skeleton argument on the main points (the points raised in your post, you need state why the Claim is unenforceable, do some research, but try to get it emailed tomorrow) that you wish to make at the Hearing. Email a copy to the Court and their solicitors.

In the email, subject line write - Case No XXXXXXXX - Defendants Skeleton Argument - XXXXXXX v XXXXXXX.
Take that to the Hearing. They haven't complied with CCA 1974, they haven't provided the requested documentation (you did request credit agreement, default notice and letter of assignment').

21 years ago I made some notes in a lecture by a leading QC (now KC) which covered skeleton arguments. Here's a quick summary. Your skeleton argument should come in 4 parts:-
1. Introduction - what the case is about.
2. The facts - what happened.
3. Relevant law. Formulate your statement of the law in a way that leads into...
4. Submissions. These are your points as to how the law applies to the facts of your case and why doing this leads to a conclusion in your favour.
You need to identify the best points and put them succinctly
