Old Phone contract letter from Shoosmiths
My wife had a vodaphone mobile contract some years ago which defaulted. As i recall this may be have been more than 6 years ago but i haveno paperwork. Do I need to send a section 78 request for a copy of the contract . -
Re: Old Phone contract letter from Shoosmiths
No - A section 78 request is for consumer credit agreements, i.e. loans, credit cards etc and not for Mobile Phone contracts. You should write tot hem asking for a balance statement, whilst maintaining the fact that you do not acknowledge the debt - Or you could simply ignore the letter as its likely just a phinishing exercise by them to see if they can rope you into responding.
If you can post up a copy of the letter or what the content of the letter was, minus personal details and reference numbers etc. Then we can give you a more precise answer on what to do or how to respond.Please note that this advice is given informally, without liability and without prejudice.

When was the last payment made? If it was over 6 years ago, any outstanding amount would be statute barred. :thumb:Originally posted by seduraed View Post
Mobile contracts don't fall under the CCA so a s.78 request wouldn't apply.Comment

Re: Old Phone contract letter from Shoosmiths
Hi seduraed,
Thanks for making me aware of this.
If you and your wife would like me to get this looked into, could you ask her to email me with her details via the Contact us form here and quote the code WRT135 - FAO Lee in the subject line?
Once sent she'll receive an automated reply with a reference number. To make sure it reaches me, could you update the thread with this and I'll get back to her as soon as I can?
Kind regards,
Lee
