  • looking for help - inexperienced!

    A credit card company defaulted me a couple of years ago - this summer,debt was assigned to a debt collection agency who wrote asking for the money owed - I replied by saying in my view debt unenforceable for reasons given - they wrote back to say they would look into matter and get back to me but their time for looking into such matters was 4 months - when the 4 months was up,I noticed the DCA had updated the default with credit ref agency,with sum still outstanding,but they have not,meantime,replied to my letter - this re-registering the default was a month ago,but I have heard nothing at all since my original letter saying unenforceable. Is the DCA able to do this (well,obviously they have,but is it legal/correct?!)

    Unfortunately, registering a default with a CRA is not considered to be 'enforcement'.

    But the info must be accurate, including the date when the agreement was actually defaulted.

      Many thanks for that speedy reply - I would have thought I should have been warned by letter by DCA that they were updating the default before doing so?
