CCAing a DCA after assigment of debt.

[Captain Haddock]

Was just wondering: should one do this as a matter of course, given that the DCA and OC have supplied evidence to say who the new owner is? I haven't done it in the past with other assignments as I didn't see the point but maybe there's reason enough to ask the new owner for proof of agreement.

Thoughts?

Assignment can either be advised by the assignor or the assignee (Law of Property Act 1925)

Personally I have not done this , what I have done though , is to write to the new owner (debt purchaser) and tell them the account is in dispute because for example non compliance with a CCA request or whatever the reason is (being vague of course). I recently did this to Arrow Global and after 6 months got the same rubbish back as the previous owners had sent so told them it was illegible (which it was)
