Can anyone advise?

 

Ive received a letter from Arrow Global informing me that they have instructed Shoosmiths Solicitors to contact me to recover £19440 for a Mortgage shortfall from a Northern Rock Mortgage in April 2007.

 

I remember owning a house around that time and did have a Northern Rock Mortgage but to the best of my knowledge the house was sold and the Mortgage paid off in full.

 

I have never in the last 11 years had any correspondence from anyone informing me of any shortfall from the sale,

so i am somewhat bemused as to where this has come from.

 

I no longer have any paperwork from the sale and cant even recall who i used for conveyancing.

 

Where has this figure come from and surely the solicitor i used during the sale would not have released the keys if there was any amount outstanding and due to the mortgage provider?

Ive tried to find information relating to the sale of the house but cant find anything.

Im certain though that the sale was made in 2005 and not 2007 as stated in their letter.

 

I cant help but worry as £19440 is a lot of money and i dont want baliffs banging on my door

Does the 6 years only apply to repossessions?

My house wasnt repossessed.

I sold the house and had a solicitor deal with all financial aspects of it, including repayment of the outstanding mirtgage to NR

That CML rule only applies to repos.

 

Suggest you contact the Solicitors next week to find out why there is a debt.

The Solicitors should have known about this.

If you never had the conversation, then it suggests something is wrong.

Possibly a mistake.

 

Did you take out a loan on top of the mortgage ?

NR were involved in a lot of irresponsible lending.

We could do with some help from you.

well bottom dollar is its still a lemon debt else NR wouldn't of sold it on.

 

 

its still a shortfall though

cant see how this could happen as I bet you had comms with your solicitor after the completion

so if NR wernt happy they would have written .

My thoughts exactly. My solicitor would have been in touch straight away to tell me of any shortfall.

I also had a mail redirection in place for 6 months after the sale so NR coild have contacted me way back then if something was amiss.

 

I just cant understand why its now 10 years (according to them) actually 12 years, since the sale of the house, before they get in touch

if its 12yrs they are out of luck totally!!

 

within 12yrs there might have been be an outside chance that in court they could have argued that the statute of limitation of 6yrs did not apply to the debt as it was for the main mortgage and not the interest or whatever that little dodge with some types of mortgages is where by its 12yrs not 6 yrs under the statute

outside of 12yrs they are stuffed.

 

now, the only issue here you might have is one of correct address with arrows today.

 

they would be quite within their right to serve a claimform to 'an old address'

if you nor your sols informed the original creditor of a change of address

then ofcourse arrows wont know of it.

 

even though the debt might be statute barred

that doesn't stop them issuing a claimform to your old address [or one since but not you present one]

as nowt would be checked by the court

and no human would ever see it.

opps default judgement.

 

so p'haps send arrows the prove it letter?

Hi firstship,

no i have had no correspondence from anyone in the last 12 years except this letter which has just appeared out of the blue.

 

Shoosmiths did say that they were looking into things and had passed it back to their client for further info but ive not heard a word since August.

 

Dont know whether i should now chase them???

No i havnt sent them the prove it letter. After speaking to Shoosmiths on the phone in August they didnt even know where this alleged debt had come from. They had no details whatsoever and were going to go back to Arrow and get more information

The point in sending the prove it letter was to confirm that you live at the address they wrote to.

 

Some DCA/Solicitors use a tactic of having a court claom sent to last official address advised to creditors.

 

They then get a CCJ by default,

which is a pain to get set aside.

 

It should not happen, as you phoned them in response to a letter received

, but you have no evidence of the phone call,

unless you recorded it.

 

Up to you.

You could just write to confirm your telephone call to them in August and that they agreed to refer back to their client Arrows.

 

That you believe a mistake has occurred at some point by NRAM

, as there was nothing outstanding and no correspondence ever received from them about any alleged shortfall.

We could do with some help from you.

i have put together a letter to Shoosmiths and sent it Special delivery today.

 

 

I included in the letter a copy of the extract from the Land Registry showing the date of sale of the house i owned which was the mortgage from NR.

 

Now i have become paranoid about this

i called Shoosmiths to ask what is going on.

 

 

They said they tried to call me on the 20th but got no answer.

Ive never had any missed calls!

They said they have passed it back to their client for more info but as yet have had no reply.

 

They asked if i had a Together mortgage with NR. I cant recall as it was 12 years ago.

 

They said it could be that there was an unsecured loan as part of the mortgage and that might be where the debt has come from.

 

I reminded them that the house was sold on 15th April 2005.

12 years and 4 months ago so they are effectively flogging a dead horse.

 

I asked why it has taken them all these years to come looking for me but they couldnt/wouldnt comment

Just received another letter from Arrow this morning asking me to contact Shoosmiths as they are "attempting to contact the above named person as they have reason to believe that my address is a possible address for our customer" , havent we already established this?

 

I sent a letter by recorded delivery to them in October asking them to prove the debt as its over 12 years and also advising that i believe it to be SB if there ever was a debt.

Really confused now.
