    I'd do it again, sending a postal order for the £1 and sending it 'signed for' - that way you've got all the evidence you need if they don't supply the agreement.

    I’d agree with this, best to have followed correct procedure.

    Exactly.


    For the sake of a couple of quid, I'd not risk a DCA trying to be clever, just in case.

    In debt and looking for help? Look here for the MSE Debt Help Guide.
    Also, If you need any free and impartial debt advice, the National Debtline, Stepchange, and the CAB can help.
