I need some advice on how to proceed with PRA Group?, over the past years PRA have written to me regarding a debt going back over 7 - 8 years that is owed to Nationwide, just recently they have started writing to me again and their latest letter is not offering their usual hefty discount but instead 'Dear xxxx Could you settle your account?'.

 

Also on their letter they state an agreement date of 13 January 2005, this was not an agreed overdraft but my bank account went overdrawn by a very small amount (just over £10 if I remember rightly) and I was hit with multiple bank charges which caused the account to go even further overdrawn which lead to even more bank charges being added on top, the amount owed according to PRA is £390.

 

After researching the forums I sent the Statute Barred letter to PRA as I was 100% sure that no payments have ever been made by me on this account, today I received a e-mail from PRA stating

 

'Thank you for your query which we received on 19/05/2017 in which you advised your account has now exceeded the period specified in the “Limitations Act 1980”.

 

Under the “Limitations Act 1980” we have six years to collect the outstanding balance and after this time the debt becomes unenforceable.

 

This means that we are unable to pursue this through the courts. Our records indicate that the last payment made to the account was on 28/02/2017.

 

Please be advised that this payment is deemed as acknowledgement of the debt and as such, would reset the limitations period for a further 6 years from this date.

 

Whilst I appreciate that this may not be the response you were looking for, please be aware that we at PRA Group (UK) remain committed to working with you to come to an appropriate resolution.

 

We have requested documentation from Nationwide. As PRA Group UK Limited do not hold the information internally, we have held your account until our client is able to provide the documentation applied for.

 

During this time you will receive no further letters or calls.'

 

 

I would like some advice regarding their e-mail as I HAVE NOT MADE ANY PAYMENTS against this debt so I would like to know where they got this date from, I have replied to their e-mail asking for details regarding this payment and I confirmed to them that I have absolutely no knowledge of this payment being made.

 

Are they chancing their luck?
