    Well that's good news. You haven't actually said when you opened the account , the CCA response should give you a clue.

    The fact PRA have told you it is unenforceable is a letter you need to keep

    Just a couple of questions

    1) Are you still paying?
    2) Did the letter from PRA say it was unenforceable while they were locating the agreement and since then they have sent one?

      Hi. Thanks for reading.

      in answer to your questions
      1) have not paid for two months now since I sent CCA
      2) first letter said while they look for letters etc it is unenforceable then the following day !! a letter was sent with reconstituted copy and copy statements

      i have looked at agreement date on PRA letter and this state's 08/05/2001.

        Now is the time to send SAR/GDPR`s to
        1/ Stepchange
        2/ Barclaycard.
        You need to fill in a lot of background details here with both Barclaycard and PRA.
        As Warwick points out PRA are known to come back with located agreements!!

          My advice is the OP should not send anything to anyone until the full facts are known.

            If PRA have sent you a reconstituted copy of your credit agreement in response to your s77-79 CCA Request then I suggest you email that to Niddy for an opinion on whether it's likely to be enforceable or unenforceable.

            Email it to webmaster@all-about-debt.co.uk.

            EDIT - I see you've already done that and the verdict was the agreement is unenforceable

              As I understand it the CCA response from PRA indicates that the account was opened on the 8th May 2001 which may be a clue.

              Whether that's true or not is another matter

                This is true.

                But in the case of PRA Group (UK) Ltd v Diana Mayhew (me ) the two credit agreements they produced were deemed irredeemably unenforceable by the judge (Recorder) in court so the claim was lost >


                Originally posted by Joanna Connolly View Post
                ‘“RECONSTITUTED AGREEMENT” – IRREDEEMABLY UNENFORCEABLE
                “UNREDACTED DEEDS OF ASSIGNMENT – NO ASSIGMENT PROVED”


                So, held Recorder Bellamy in PRA Group (UK) Limited v Mayhew at Central London County Court on 22nd March 2017, at the end of a 3 day multi track trial, when dismissing PRA’s claim against our client.


                Stale debts sued for on the back of 2 ‘reconstituted’ MBNA credit card agreements (May 1999 and October 2000) were held irredeemably unenforceable under CCA 1974. The evidence of an honest witness was preferred to that of so called “reconstituted agreements”.


                After 3 days of close forensic examination of, and legal argument about, evidence and documents from both PRA and MBNA stating that our client’s specific debt had been assigned, the court held that no assignment had been proved.


                Efforts, over many months, in earlier cases to force PRA into disclosure of un-redacted deeds and deep and sustained forensic challenge to the provenance of documents needed to prove regulatory compliance, finally drew back the veil. The reality behind bulk debt purchasing was revealed.


                This decision shows that just saying an agreement is enforceable and producing a “reconstituted” copy does not prove that it is enforceable. Just saying an agreement has been assigned and producing a notice saying it has been assigned does not prove legal assignment.


                Debt purchasers need to provide proof. If that means the pitifully few pence in the pound they pay for stale debts will increase because banks will now have to start keeping original evidence complying with regulatory consumer protection measures, it is hard to imagine many tears being shed, outside the City of London.

                      Was there any PPI?
                      What is the background to this Loan?
                      Does the name Mercer appear in any of your documents?

                            If you are looking for a full and final settlement you would need to show them that a) You can not afford to be paying and b) the total offered is reasonable and based on pro rata to all your creditors.

                            So for example you may want to send an Income and Expenditure carefully and accurately worked out THAT SHOWS a minimal monthly surplus income that when divided pro rata would give them pence per month followed by a letter explaining where the lump sum had come from e.g a relative is prepared to lend me the money and how it would work out across all your creditors at whatever % you offer.

                            My personal feeling is that when you just write and offer a lump sum they will think you have more and are trying it on. Also remember everytime you write you are acknowledging the debt

                            I do wonder if at the moment if a general GDPR request to barclays for everything they holdmight not be a bad idea.

                              Not a lot to do at the moment , maybe have a look at the DN from 2013 to see if it is compliant- there are lots more ways to deal with a loan than just the agreement. As its 2011 though, it might be a little more troublesome
