Reconstituted CCA

If a reconstituted CCA is valid, then why aren't more creditors doing this instead of sending invalid CCA or stating they can't find the original? 
Surely it shouldn't be too difficult for them to recreate one, or am I missing something here?

  • i have also wondered this. If they reconstitute one and it is wrong, surely you would have to say why it is wrong and they could simply correct it until it is right?

    They can only reconstitute a credit agreement using information already held on their systems, they cannot source it from elsewhere, nor can they just "make it up".

    If they have the required information already, say from other agreements you held with them, then a re-constituted copy is fine.

    If they don`t, then at that point they fail to comply with the legislation, and should tell you so.

    I think it's a combination of not having the information (you might be surprised how little is communicted when a debt is sold) and the time/ effort involved.

    Well I requested a CCA received a letter saying if i don't make contact by 29.08.23 they will start CCJ action. Only problem they have is the CCA is not mine, its for another person so GPDR breach.


    I have Dyslexia which is a learning difficulty that primarily affects the skills involved in accurate and fluent word reading and spelling so some post may not make sense.

    Wow, so what's the plan? Have you told them or are you waiting to bring this up in court?

    It'll be interesting to see what the court makes of their claim then

    What, exactly, does the letter say, as no one refers to it as "CCJ action".?

    Please give as much detail as you can.

    Does it say something along the lines of "we will refer this matter to out legal arm" or "our solicitors" ???

    The usual meaningless debt collection agency letter

    Do you have to provide an income and expenditure breakdown before agreeing a repayment plan with them or could you just say "I can afford £x a month" and leave it at that?

    You can do what you want. If they've not complied with a cca request though, the debt is unenforceable and I wouldn't give them a penny.
