CCA Request: Need Expert to answer important questions before kicking off.

I have a number of cards which have large balances 10k+ and some smaller ones, due to difficult personal circumstances I ceased paying them all about 5 months ago ( I had been perfect before that). Thanks to the unnecessary harassment I've received and the threats, I now feel I am at war with them. I wish to request CCAs from all of them. My two cards with the biggest balances are MBNA and Barclaycard. I have had both cards for about 9 or 10 years. I have the following questions before I hit them all with CCA requests:

1. Should I wait till the original lenders pass the debt on to DCAs (as there is a greater chance the CCAs will be lost) or should I hit them now hoping to get them before they sell the debt on and perhaps prevent some defaults (it's really hard to know if they have recorded a default or are just threatening it).

2. Anyone know what the chances of BC and MBNA having the CCAs from 9 years ago are?

3. If I have two cards with the same provider and they only find a CCA for one of them, can they use it to enforce the account they don't have a CCA for?

4. Does anyone have any stories of requesting CCAs (esp from BC and MBNA)? How do they react?

Thanks in advance!:rolleyes:

    Seems to have got lost this post will bump it up for you.

    I have only requested CCA from catalogue debts that went a bit shirty but I know loads of people on here with better experience than me.
  • Thanks Ray, is there a trick to avoiding getting your post lost? (Sorry I only joined yesterday.)
