  1. Hi All.

     

    I read some time ago here that when a dca bad credit references you whilst an account is in dispute, thay are committing an offence. Furthermore that there has been a test case that the debtor is entitled to £1000 compensation, without having to prove anything other than the referencing entry.

     

    Could some kind knowledgeable soul here point me to the thread and the case reference. I need to file my counterclaim against Lowell by 18-09-12.

     

    Any help appreciated.

     

    Thanks

  2. Hi. Last posting may appear a bit vague upon re reading.

     

    Reply form 8406 is the Application form. Upon requesting twice, a true copy of the cca, first time it came without their signature some four years after opening the account, second time it had a signature on it! Any mileage in that?

     

    What I am really looking for, is the text to defend the claim against me that I need to enter on the court papers. Can some kind soul point me in the right direction as to where I may find this?

     

    Also any other pointers greatly appreciated!

  3. Hi. Lowell have written and said egg cant find the agreement as requested. They state that they will cease collection activity untill it turns up.

     

    My question is:

     

    Can they do this? IMHO they have not complied with the request and therefore the alleged agreement is unenforceable. Surely they cant hold this over me indefinately.

     

    What should I do next?

     

    Any help really appreciated

  4. Hi. Some time has passed and Cartel had been involved. The situation now is that Egg has written saying they cannot locate the agreement and will cease collection activity until such time as they find the agreement! Can they do this or is there law which I can quote to force them to write it off and remove credit entries?

     

    Thanks in anticipation

  5. Thanks robdblynd!

     

    Could any of you knowledgeable souls have a look at this egg "agreement" and let me know what they think.

     

    One thing I have noticed is that is has no mention of remedies.

     

    Does anyone have a copy of a 2002/03 agreement, I am dubious about the line between the two signature boxes!

    Many thanks in antiipation.

  6. Hi

     

    I have been using a photocopy of my Adult Court Bench Book. Section 2 of the 1997 Harassment Act! Works with some DCA's They stopped phoning me. I requested written comms only

     

    Harassment

    Conduct causing harassment;0]

    Protection from Harassment Act 1997 s.2 Triable only summarily

    Penalty: Level 5 and/or 6 months

    Consider making a restraining order

    CONSIDER THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE OFFENCE

    (INCLUDING THE IMPACT ON THE VICTIM)

    IS DISCHARGE OR FINE APPROPRIATE?

    GUIDELINE: 5 IS IT SERIOUS ENOUGH FOR A COMMUNITY PENALTY?

    IS IT SO SERIOUS THAT ONLY CUSTODY IS APPROPRIATE?

    oa’

    OCONSIDER AGGRAVATING AND MITIGATING FACTORS AND THE WEIGHT TO ATTACH TO EACH

    for example

    Disregard of warning

    Excessive persistence

    Interference with employment/business

    Invasion of victim’s home

    Involvement of others

    Use of violence or grossly offensive material

    Where photographs or images of a personal nature are involved

    This list is not exhaustive

    for example

    Initial provocation

    Short duration

    This list is not exhaustive

    If offender is on bail, this offence is more serious

    If offender has previous convictions, their relevance and any failure to respond to previous

    sentences should be considered — they may increase the seriousness. The court should make

    it clear, when passing sentence, that this was the approach adopted.

    TAKE A PRELIMINARY VIEW OF SERIOUSNESS, THEN

    CONSIDER OFFENDER MITIGATION

    for example

    Age, health (physical or mental)

    Co-operation with police

    Evidence of genuine remorse

    Voluntary compensation

    CONSIDER YOUR SENTENCE

    Compare it with the suggested guideline level of sentence and reconsider

    your reasons carefully if you have chosen a sentence at a different level.

    Consider a reduction for a timely guilty plea.

    Restraining order — consider making an order in addition to the sentence to protect the victim

    or any named person from further conduct which would amount to harassment.

    DECIDE YOUR SENTENCE

    NB. COMPENSATION — Give reasons if not awarding compensation
