Cabot old credit card debt

I would imagine there should be two sets of terms and conditions, one from when you signed the agreement and another of the ones in place at default if they had changed . There is not always two sets especially if the open and default dates are relatively close
In many cases I received one signed agreement and then a much clearer print of the defaulted terms - doesn't mean they have enough to enforce in court

I can see from this post in 2016 that the owner of the debt is Cabot Financial (UK) Ltd which is unlicensed, so they'll have other legal challenges to face apart from whether any credit agreement is compliant.
Too much emphasis is placed solely on the credit agreement being enforceable (or not).
My firm won a case in court his morning where the Claimant had produced a signed document purporting to be the credit agreement. The form had been completed in the Defendant's handwriting too, but it was fatally flawed for other reasons. They lost a substantial claim and had to pay our legal costs
Secondly I see that you had instructed a solicitor at the time (2010) who advised you to stop paying. However the last payment date is not necessarily the moment when the Statute Barred clock stops ticking.
When did you cease to instruct the solicitor, did they write further to Mint which would be seen as an acknowledgment of the debt for SB purposes? etc etc.

That letter simply says they would like to hear from you. Nothing more, nothing less.
I see no reason to reply.
