CCA not received, now sold

After checking through my files, One of my accounts hasn’t acknowledged my request for CCA. Will double check if they cashed the cheque. This was requested 18 months ago, I know I should have chased it up sooner.

Anyway, the debt has now been sold on, should I request again by writing to the new owner? I have some money put by that I can offer a settlement but want to check if I have any clout first
LBM.....sometime in 2013 £27,056. 10 creditors
June 20.....£7,587.....3 creditors left 72% paid

£26,200 on interest only part of mortgage (July 16)...will chip away £17,103
£49,200 repayment mortgage ( July 16) £37,764

    No, don’t request it again, you have serious clout, the ball is firmly in the creditors court.

    Non compliance with a CCA request renders that debt unenforceable until they do comply.

    Write and tell the new owner of the breach by the previous creditor, it’s likley they will return the debt to them.

    Surely the original creditor won’t buy it back?

    I will see if I can find out if the cheque was cashed as otherwise I have no proof they didn’t comply. I have a feeling it was the old bank account that I closed and prob haven’t kept old statements

    That’s the normal procedure, as there is nothing else they can do with an unenforceable debt.

    I know you’ll advise me to stop paying them. My big concern if I do and they return it to OC, them I may shoot myself in the foot as that’s who holds my mortgage
