    Tixy is correct. S77-79 of the act says (note the bold bits):

    The creditor under a regulated agreement for fixed-sum credit, within the prescribed period after receiving a request in writing to that effect from the debtor and payment of a fee of £1, shall give the debtor a copy of the executed agreement (if any) and of any other document referred to in it, together with a statement signed by or on behalf of the creditor ...

  • Well, I still haven't had a copy of the credit agreement. My credit card with MBNA was taken out before 2007, which is when I believe the rules changed with regards to unenforceability. I would like to know what I can do at the moment, legally, without making my situation worse. At the moment they have stopped the interest, but if I was to refuse to pay until they can produce this agreement, they may start charging interest again.

    I am on a DMP with PDHL. My account manager contacted them by telephone on 23 October to request the CCA. Can I count this date as the start of the 12 days, or can it only be from them receiving a request in writing, with £1.00 payment?

    As said, needs to be done in writing.

    No produce CCA, no CCJ, can't make you pay, legally.

    Couldn't see from previous posts, is the account defaulted?

  • Oh hell, I did send a letter on Friday and paid £6.00 to have it delivered by 1pm today. Forgot to put a cheque in for £1.00 though!!!
  • I received a letter from Aktiv Kapital on Saturday to advise me that my account has been put on hold while they 'endeavour' to retrieve the paperwork. Hopefully it will take some time!
  • Yep. They ran out of time after 14 days, so if they write again just remind them of that.

  • Hi All,
    Way back in the early 2000's i had a CC with MBNA and fell on hard times. I struggled to make the payments and in the end gave up. There has been no contact/payments for over 6+ years. Now AKTIV KAPITAL are saying that this debt was assigned over to them in Nov 2013.

    They applied to the courts and obtained a CCJ order attachment to earnings. as i am self employed the court has sent me a letter stating
    "the application for attachment to earnings is adjourned generally with liberty to restore" no time limit on letter.

    But reading this forum I believe that this debt is STATUTE BARRED.
    What are my options now.....Help!!!

    I have not contacted / sent or signed any letters Aktiv Kapital.
    and someone keeps turning up at my home trying to get me to sign for something, but wont say what it is?

    I don't believe they can charge interest while the debt is in dispute ie. they haven't responded to a perfectly legal request for documents within the stated time.
