Default Lowell Financial :

Since Dec2006, I have been recieving letters from Lowell Financial, for a debt with Cap One, that was either very close to being statute barred if not already.
I have not acknowleged any of thier letters.
A few weeks ago I decided to apply for a copy of my credit rating, which I have recieved from Experion.
On it, it states the Cap One card was "settled" in 2001.
I am puzzled by this as I did not pay it, and it has been passed through about 4 different agencies, I refused to pay, because £400 had been added in charges by Cap One, for a debt of less than £200 !
Does anyone have any idea what may have happened here
Many Thanks,
Whizzard.

You may also want to send an S.A.R. to Cap 1. You will then know exactly how much in charges they have placed on your account then you can claim them back

Whizzard, some companies mark on your credit file that a debt has benn settled or satisfied when it has been assigned to another company.
When in 2001 was it marked as settled.?

According to Experian, the card was issued in 2000, and settled in may 2001, which is about the time I stopped using it.
So actually it would be statute barred anyway !

Not till May this year as long as you have not paid anything in that time to anyone in regards to the debt, or acknowledged the debt by writing, if not dont worry.

Cheers Bigmac versus,
I think I can hold them off a bit longer ! No money has been paid since I was using the card, and no acknowlegment of debt, written or verbal.
I'm just going to let them keep trying and keep all paperwork, I may need this later...
