    Letters to these companies typically take 30 days to be read or responded to, so you would be out of their self imposed 14 day limit, but I guess it can`t hurt.

    Many thanks , would you advise not to ring - and just send letter to tell them they haven’t sent me CCA , but also i have no information regarding LC S.a.r.l company who they claim to have passed debt onto? All communication still been coming from link outsourcing address . I see there other threads on this and was wondering how people have got on . Will keep checking on the forum . Also as i was paying till 6 months ago it is not statute barred but would you know why these companies I had debt with are not showing on credit reports and my credit is showing as ‘excellent ‘ lol
    Many thanks again.

    Once a debt is defaulted it is removed after 6 years even if you never pay another penny.

    You are lucky because sometimes creditors keep marking a debt that is being paid less than the contractual amount AP and those remain on the credit record for 6 years after the debt is paid off.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing

    Just gonna sit tight and wait , I feel engaging 
    with them could could make me ‘stand out more ‘ 
    appreciate it’s difficult to know what to do for the best . I did see another person mention complaining to someone before the LBA even arrives from Kearns but I can’t find post again

    I'm pretty sure LC asset 1/2 are part of the same group or Subsidiary of Link Financial, I have a few debts that I have received emails stating they have been acquired by LC Asset 2, but my credit report shows link financial and all the correspondence is from Link. On Links Irish website there is also a statement confirming this.
