Hi Guys,

 

Just checking something out and was looking for clarification.

 

On my Equifax report, it states that an overdraft I had with HBOS.

 

First late date payment was July 2011, then subsequent months late and then shows as defaulted in January 2012. I'm assuming as it shows, this means no payment since June 2011.

 

The debt appears to have then been sold to Arrow Global as they have listed the default on Equifax in January 2012.

 

I have never once communicated with Arrow Global on this. I obviously haven't made any payments to HBOS regarding this.

 

Today I received a letter from shoosmiths asking for payment or even a partial payment to clear the entire amount in full and final settlement. It looks like to me they are clutching at straws and this will become statute barred as of June 2017.

 

Can you confirm if I am correct?

 

Thanks

retitled and moved to hbos forum

not sure why you mentioned or used the DMP forum

 

arrows are a DCA and shoo's are their in house sols.

but the truth is

its all an automatic threat-o-gram generating pc system on the same printer.

 

if they are offering discounts

and if you are still living at the address that you took the account out at

then i'd ignore them

 

but never ignore a claimform.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Hi Guys,

 

Help needed with this one.

 

I have posted two items below,

one is a letter before action from shoosmiths for an old Halifax debt.

 

I think this is statute barred or due to be statute barred later this month or July 2017.

 

The reason I think this is because I have checked my credit file (pic posted below) for this debt and it defaulted July 2012, last payment was June 2012.

 

I have never had any contact with either shoosmiths, arrow global or Halifax regarding this since then.

Certainly not with arrow global or shoosmiths.

 

I contacted Halifax and they have no record of me on their files whatsoever that they could access to tell me any information.

 

I am unsure whether to send statute barred or CCA,

could someone kindly advise which would be best according to info below?

 

Thanks so much.

get an SAR running to HBOS

get all the statements and get prepared.

incase they do file a claim.

Hey dx,

 

Hope you're well and thanks for confirming.

 

I have moved since I took this out yes.

 

Do I not need to respond to Shoosmiths in any way?

or should I just ignore and send the SAR to HBOS?

 

Thanks.

then I would suggest that the balance is all unlawful penalty fees and the interest they have caused till account closure

 

its a threat yes but it does say will twice

now its now quite close to being statute barred

and is made of mainly penalties which is why HBOS wrote it off and sold it on I expect.

 

we could use the SB letter

and tag on the end about the charges.

Thanks dx.

Is that just a thought or a definite recommendation?

 

It's definitely way above what my overdraft limit would have been.

 

I'll send off the SAR to HBOS asap.

But how to deal with shoosmiths for sure?..

head the letter

I do not acknowledge any debt to you or any client you make represent.

 

 

if any outstanding balance is legally owed after the time expired so far and legally outstanding...

I will vigorously contest any issuance of a court claim stating:

 

 

The amount claimed is comprised of amongst others default penalties/charges levied on the account for alleged late, missed or over limit payments and the associated interest attributed to such.

 

 

A court will be aware that these charge types and the recoverability thereof have been judicially declared to be susceptible to assessments of fairness under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 The Office of Fair Trading v Abbey National PLC and others (2009).

I will contend at trial that such charges are unfair in their entirety.

you've been here more than 6yrs and you've never discovered CAG is a SELF HELP FORUM too?

have you even bothered since then or indeed april bothered to LOOK at other threads to help yourself?

there are 1000+ threads here AND a sticky that TELLS you what to do when you receive a claimform

 

 

I also find it very disrespectful that you bump a thread in less than 1hour wanting help

we do have our own lives too.

 

 

claimform open scan removed

we don't need to see that..

 

 

please fill this out:

Hi dx.

 

 

I certainly have looked at other threads and posts and done research, but I'm not an expert which is why I'm also asking for advice on CAG. I know what o do with regards to a claim form, I was asking for help in terms of defence.

 

 

With regards to the "disrespectful" part of your post, I couldn't find this thread anywhere in the DCA forum which is where it was. So when I posted the claim form, I was confused as to why the thread did not bump to the top of the DCA forum, as that is where it appeared last. I then posted that 2nd post "bump" as you call it, to see if it would show up again, and it did not.

 

 

Honeybee has just informed me that you moved it to the Financial Legal Forum. I was not trying to urge someone to attend to my needs quicker or be disrespectful, but I can see how it may come across.

 

 

If you don't want to help me, it's not a problem. To be perfectly honest, you've always been quite rude and make lots of assumptions. I appreciate each has their own lives, and nobody is more important than anyone else, so why you choose to take such views is beyond me. It costs nothing to be polite.

 

 

If you want to help me, thank you, I really do appreciate it. If not, I guess I will have to figure it out for myself.

 

 

Thanks for your help so far, it REALLY is appreciated.
