Looking at a DMP

Isn't there something about the CCA not existing if debts have been combined? I'm sure that @sourcrates mentioned it once.

Thanks for your replies, this has god me a little miffed as all the others have been plain sailing. I’m unsure what to do next with ACI and this inflated balance. These are the last 2 debts. Do I respond to ACI? I havnt even had a default yet for the 2 updraft loans .

Just put in the affordability complaint. Might take a time but if you win it's likely they'll have to stop reporting it on your credit record.

Would I need to put an affordability complaint in with updraft? Or ACI? Thanks for your reply

When companies combine debts like this, it makes it easier for them to manage, but also renders them irredeemably unenforceable in court.

They created an account that previously never existed, so there will be no credit agreement for the debt, no financial details regarding repayment, non of the terms and conditions will apply to it, it has been artificially created on their computer, so much is wrong with doing this.

Ask for the CCA, they won`t be able to provide one as there never was one.

I will ask for a CCA. Could they still be awkward and try home visits, court action whilst I’m asking for this?

If they don't produce the CCA within 12 days of you asking for it then they cant take any legal action until they do. They can always do home visits if they choose, most collectors won't bother with that but if they do then they have as much power as a double glazing salesman and can be dealt with in the same way.

Making a request for information under sec 77 CCA, has the beneficial effect of putting your account effectively "on hold" until they send you what is required.

So no, collection activity should pause whilst this is actioned.
