    I would suggest that you follow the process outlined in the unenforceability thread III and letters from IV

    Because you have not paid, they have put a default on your account and passed it on to a debt collection agency.

    I would suggest you send a CCA query letter telling them that you have received an application from and you want the agreement.

    I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
    (Ok, one of them is powerless, spiders can be nasty.)


    As of the last count I have cleared
    [STRIKE]23.16%[/STRIKE] 22.49% of my debt. :(

    Fear not with Halifax...ive been through the mill with these clowns & their default notices/threats are not worth the paper they are printed on.
    They may pass you onto Buchanan Clark & Wells, then Albion collections & then Fairfax Solicitors - each as useless/powerless as each other
    Remember the phrase - no CCA = no enforcable debt = no payments = end of.
    Report them to OFT,trading standards and the financial ombudsman service, if you fancy causing a bit of aggro for them ;)
  • Did you send the CCA query letter and did Halifax respond?

    You can send an account sold in dispute letter telling the DCA that you are waiting for a CCA http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=33791899&postcount=14

    They know they havent got a CCA & are trying to fob you off with any old printed out garbage.....the cheeky sods then pass you on to the DCA industry.
    Time for compliants to be made me thinks....
