    Hi Kate, I'm not sure what would be the best thing to do, sounds like your debt has been passed from agency to agency. Have you tried to get any help resolving this from one of the debt help organisations? Do you still owe money on the account, or did you end up paying it all off?

    You could contact CCCS (Consumer Credit Councelling Serice), they might be able to help? They help with debt management plans etc, but they could be a good point of contact to get some clarification on where you stand with this.

    The website is: http://www.cccs.co.uk/Contact.aspx

    Hope this helps you, and hopefully someone more in the know than me will come along and offer some advice!!

    Best Regards
  • yes i still owe the debt i am disputing if cabot own it do you think that i should write to the Halifax

    If they failed to turn up last time, you can point out to the judge that the company are using the courts as a bullying service and wasting both the courts and your time, ask for the judge to rule the actions as Vexatious and certainly if they fail to show again .

    If you were to get a recent copy of your credit file, would this show who owned the debt? I'm not sure if it displays who originally owned it or who owns it now in terms of DCA's.
  • i seem to be at a loss as to what to do
