PRA Unenforceable Update

Options
Hi everyone, 

Firstly, thank you to everyone who has helped me thus far. I really appreciate it. 

PRA has now admitted, in writing, that the debt relating to Barclaycard is unenforceable and that they are unable to take legal action to recover it. 

I have also got them to confirm in writing:

- The amount is unenforceable
- They can not take legal action to recover it 
- That they must only write to me by email or post and that I won't answer phone calls 
- That they understand I am a non-UK resident

I then offered them £500 to close the account as a good will gesture, which I consider more than reasonable considering they have failed to produce a CCA agreement.

Bizarrely, they wrote back to say that they would now only accept 95% of the total owed. I wrote back again, stating that they originally offered me a 65% discount (3 weeks ago) and to relook at their emails. I've just received an email stating that although they offered me that deal 3 weeks ago, they no longer can. 

The whole thing seems bizarre, and who knows what they are thinking. I don't have time for this charade; it's as if they don't want the money. 

Anyway, I obviously have no intention of paying this amount, and my final question is - should I send them a final email and state that I have no intention of paying anything until such time as they produce a valid CCA agreement?

Or shall I just stop paying and playing this bizarre game and wait for them to contact me by email? 

Thanks again.
