Unsecured debts against the estate without loan agreements

There are a couple of unsecured credit card debts against my late mum’s estate, they have no even passed on to Phillips and Cohen debt collection services by the original lenders.

I have requested to see the original loan agreement to check terms and conditions and whether mum had paid PPI and a letter outlining balance of payments but they have failed to provide them.

My quandary is whether I pay the debts regardless of wait until the paperwork is provided?

Comments

  • There are a couple of typos in there and no edit function. Should read.

    * “they have been passed on to Phillips and Cohen.”

    ”whether I lay the debts regardless or wait until the paperwork is provided “


  • Forget PPI, the stable door is firmly closed on any further claims. 
  • No, I’m trying to ascertain whether she paid payment protection on the credit card debts which would mean the debt was cancelled on death.

    If she still had such a thing It would be itemised on her credit card bill, if it is not on her monthly bill then she did not have it. 
  • Good thinking....I think the majority of her statements were online but will check.
