    Your Dad will have re-paid far more in interest than the Banks deserve over the years.

    Send the CCA request and be done with it, the chances that Barclaycard will be able to comply with a sec 77 request after 25 years are fairly low, and hopefully he can just walk away from this.

    I would discuss the CCA thing with him - if you say that he’s the sort of person who feels he should keep paying regardless of the personal impact, then will he be happy that he can simply stop paying if no CCA is produced? If not, then that in itself maybe a pointless exercise.

    Sourcrates is right though - he’ll already have in real terms repaid this debt many times over.

    You might as well request it and see where you stand, it only takes a few minutes to print the letter.
