t has been suggested I post on this thread rather than loans or debt free challenges. Third time lucky!
As briefly as possible, Cabot bought my merged credit card/loan/overdraft debt from HSBC 3 months ago. My debts with HSBC date back to 2003 and became a managed loan when I defaulted in 2006. The bank didn’t formally default me until 2012 however.
I have been paying HSBC all this time. When Cabot bought the debt I did a CCA request and they have said it is “presently unenforceable.”
My concern is whether they can still get a CCJ, which I gather they can but probably won’t bother to do until they get the CCA from HSBC (?).
Here’s the thing, I have just gone through some old papers and I have a letter from HSBC that says I would have signed a CCA and agreed to the managed loan back in 2006 (which I cannot recall) but that they did not keep a copy of it.
Where do I stand? Is there a risk of a CCJ from Cabot or will they flog it back to HSBC?

Hi,
I did answer this for you on your previous thread.
Cabot can start a court claim, should they so wish, but, because they have admitted they no longer hold a valid credit agreement, they would be very stupid to do so, it is never going to happen.
If they did, you would defend the claim on the basis that no valid agreement exists, and it would probably be dropped at that point.
If you failed to defend it however, they could obtain a judgement by default.
