I did a CCA to a DCA.
They have responded and attached a 4 page credit card agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974, which contains my name, address, account details of the original creditor, debt taken out in 2008. It has a tick box at the end in place of a signature. Also attached 2 pages of T&Cs.
So I thought this was all they had to provide. But in their email it said they are still waiting for another document and to contact them in the meantime to arrange payment. But there was no deadline to contact them by or any threats made, so I was a bit surprised.
So when i read the email more thoroughly, in small writing right at the very very bottom it says 'currently your account is classified as unenforceable, which means we are not able to take legal action to recover the balance. The debt is still legally owed and we will continue to contact you and report to the CRAs. It is possible for your account to become enforceable in future, if we receive the appropriate paperwork from the original creditor - we will make you aware if this becomes the case.
So my questions are:
- What else do they need to provide, to meet the requirements of a CCA that they haven't already provided?
- If they've sent me these documents, but not 'everything', does this mean it's unlikely that they are going to get this missing document from the original creditor and therefore the debt will probably remain unenforceable? (Appreciate no one can give me any assurances but just wondered what the likelihood is, or if it's normal to get a bit of the CCA paperwork at a time?)
Any help woudl be appreciated please as I'm really stressed about all this, thank you :-)
