  • PRA Group Letter Before Claim

    Hi - did post in the general consumer forum but then seen this Letter Before Action section. Diana M has kindly given some advice but I'm still a bit lost.

    I have received a letter from PRA Group informing me that an account has been transferred to the investigations and Litigation Department. They say it is a letter before claim as required by the Pre-Action conduct & protocols contained in the Civil Procedures Rule, and constitutes a formal demand for payment and to give notice of PRA Group's intention to issue Court proceedings against me. I've previously sent in a CCA and they returned my £1 postal order along with a 1 page form that isn't signed anywhere. I have scans of these if that will help.

    Is the threat real? They sent a similar letter in September but this one follows up with a reply form and a request for details of my financial situation, saying I have 30 days to return the completed form or it could result in Court proceedings.

    They returned the £1 CCA fee does that mean anything? They haven't supplied any SIGNED DOCUMENTS or details of the DEBT TRANSFER to themselves, just a "SUMMARY OF THE INFORMATION YOU SENT US THAT FORMS THE BASIS OF YOUR CREDIT AGREEMENT" and a summary of some of the payments made to Moorcroft.

    I believe it's from a Halifax credit card - assigned previsouly to Moorcroft - I was paying Moorcroft through Stepchange up to a point, but personal circumstances meant I could no longer manage the monthly payments and since then it's moved to PRA. The last payment I made was June 2016.

    Any advice and help greatly appreciated, I'm not sure what my next steps should be. I believe they haven't sent me enough proof in reply to my CCA, and as stated above, they also didn't accept the payment for that information.

    Hi
    I would take the LBA as a very real threat and assume you will get a claim from them at some point after the 30 days

    Its probably not helpful to have two threads on the same subject as people will only see the one and maybe duplicate responses

      (Can an admin merge the other thread into this one?)

      So what next steps should I take?

      As I've only received a "SUMMARY OF THE INFORMATION YOU SENT US THAT FORMS THE BASIS OF YOUR CREDIT AGREEMENT" that hasn't been signed by me, and a summary of some of the payments made to Moorcroft. Should another CCA be sent requesting:

      1) Agreement
      2) Assignments - deed and notice
      3) Statement of account
      4) Default notice

      Is it best to send the REPLY FORM? Do I acknowledge the debt or request more info first? Any help on next action appreciated.
