And they can’t supply CCAs for any of them0

Look, you are only a few weeks down the CCA route, one or more of them may still produce something that`s compliant.
lack of compliance with a CCA request only removes a creditors right to use legal action to recover the debt, nothing more, they can still continue with collection activity, they can still report to your credit file, so don`t expect them to just stop, because it won`t happen.
If things stay as they are, they will eventually turn their attentions to those accounts that are enforceable, but until then, expect more of the same.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings, and Bankruptcy and living with it boards.

I have an account with PRA that they said was unenforceable. It didn't stop them phoning me every two days and emailing me once a week for 18 months but they have now got a bit bored and I only hear from them occasionally. It's best just to treat it as a long game, don't expect anything to change immediately, ignore the automated pestering and give it a while to see how it pans out.

Will sit tight and hope they move on
thank you for your replies0 -
Out of interest did it affect your credit score when stopped paying ? One check on mine has added loan back on and it’s reduced score by 33 points - that’s on Experian0

Oh just rechecked this - it’s because car insurance gone on as a ‘loan’ - mystery solved haha .0

Check your credit file for errors but don't worry about the score. No-one sees that apart from you.1
