CCA questions

Hi all, i recently sent a cca request to a creditor/collection agency. They have sent my postal order back saying it is not required and have also just listed balances of 2 accounts i have with then. 1 account is actually 2 credit cards they have combined as 1 amount, but when i check online it shows 1 amount with 2 sub accounts if that makes sense. Anyhow, they are saying they do not have any details for these accounts and will contact the original creditor who i believe is creation. They have stated that i need to keep paying until they provide this information. Is this correct?

many thanks

    It's currently unenforceable.

    Up to you.

    If you have enforceable debts,, concentrate on them

    I wouldn't be paying anything until they produce the cca, as you could be throwing money away if it turns out they can't find it. They obviously want to see money coming in.

    They can't "combine" two accounts. They have to provide documentation for each debt separately, not some mythical beast to which you never signed upEmmel said:

    I'd just stop paying until they provide the CCA, even if it's reconstituted. Pay off other debts or save the sum for "full and finals".

    This is the letter. All my debts are defaulted, all passed to credit agencies and i pay them an amount each month, have done for 2 years, 1 debt is still with the original creditor they send letters periodically but have not as yet sold it on and its been 2.5 years.

    Have only now started the process of CCA requests and this is the first one.

    So shall I stop paying this one in the meantime?

    Yes don't pay these debts ( if there are 2 different debts you need CCAs for both of them )
    If you go down to the woods today you better not go alone.

    Techincally 3 different debts, the 1st one is on its own and the 2nd on listed is a combined amount for 2 debts that they have under the same reference, almost like sub accounts if that makes sense. 2 debts from different lenders but have the 1 reference number from ACI.

    OK So definitely stop paying and see what appears in the future.
