yes most of this thread concerns the biggest debt i have which is with MBNA/Link
this is the only cca correspondence i have received from them"happiness is...positive cashflow!":j0 -
That is NOT an official CCA.
It DOES NOT comply with legislation.
It's up to you how you deal with them, if it was me, this is what I would do.
Complete and send the following letter, you're under NO OBLIGATION to pay them, agin if it was me nope I wouldn't be paying them a penny, and let them take me to court, they MUST produce the evidence for them to request payment.
*one important point, for the forceable future, if you choose not to pay them, keep the payments safe somewhere, just in case they do supply a valid CCA, that being said, they CANNOT add any charges or fees whilst the a/c has been in dispute*
