£13,429 Barclaycard – passed to PRA Group
£7,497 Barclaycard – passed to PRA Group
Our legal partners made a legal request for all the relevant documentation. PRA Group could not comply so on the 1st of February PRA confirmed this, meaning that the two Barclays card debts were unenforceable.
Aveley, came to us with a £62,523.54 total debt balance.
So far, we have written off £26,402.37 with a further £29,614.80 pending write off.
Most of the debts were with debt collectors. Mainly Cabot Financial, Capquest and Lowell.
After signing up as a client, we contacted all the creditors and had the following debts written off:
1st Month of the plan – £3,035.39 debt with NCO Europe, originally with Capquest was confirmed to be unenforceable as they could not comply with the request made.
3rd Month – we got confirmation from Capquest that the £3,305.39 debt was unenforceable.

The client, O’Neill, came to us with several debts. He signed up as a client on the 4th of June 2024.
After legal requests were sent to the creditors (Link Financial). 42 days later, we had a response from them that they couldn’t comply and the debts were unenforceable.
The original creditor was Lloyds Bank Credit Card, which was then sold to Link Financial.
The client came to us in February this year.
He has £17,000 debt level.
One with Aqua, which was £4800.
We sent an S.78 request to Aqua. They acknowledged and sent us the documents and agreements.
We formed a letter of claim outlining the breaches and asked for the debt to be written off.
We got a letter back to this from them. They agreed that the agreement was unenforceable, and the credit allowance had been given without the correct affordability checks being done. They agreed to write off the whole debt including the interest that had been occurred. This ended up equalling £5000.
They also awarded the client £1300 In compensation for the wrong affordability checks been taken place.
The client has now received this payment from Aqua and has come debt-free with Aqua debt.
Client came to us in May this year with a Novuna Personal Finance debt of £6,676.52 that had been purchased by Lowell.
We sent them a legal request for information on the 29th May.
When the agreements came back, a letter of claim was sent showing breaches in the agreement on the 23rd July.
They come back on 27th August to say they had written the debt off and closed the account on 14th August.
£6,676.52 written off in around 4 months!
This success story should help explain how we don’t always manage to write debts off but do manage to reduce the balances and leave clients in a better position.
This client came to us on the 6th June with a number of debts. One of those was with Credit Spring for £1,168. They provided all the relevant documents following the legal request. These documents were then scrutinised and breaches of the Consumer Credit Act were discovered which allowed us to argue for a reduction of the debt.
After negotiation, we reduced the balance by £501.36, a reduction of 42%. Leaving £666.64 left to pay in an affordable repayment plan. Once repayments have been completed, Credit Spring have agreed to remove all records of late payments and the debt will be updated as ‘Settled in Full’.
The client signed up with us on the 15th of May with various debts. The biggest Debt being to Cabot for £5,555.20.
Our legal partners submitted a legal request to Cabot. On the 12th of July Cabot admitted they could not comply and confirmed the debt was unenforceable, meaning they couldn’t legally come after the client to pursue the debt…it’s the client’s choice to pay back debt.
This result would never happen if the client entered an IVA or a Debt Management Plan as they never investigate the legality of the debts, rather just negotiate a long-term repayment plan.
