I have just received a letter from Howard Cohen and co solicitors

Without prejudice as to save costs settlement offer

Including claim number

With reference to my defence please find enclosed

Signed credit agreement

Default notice

Statement of account

Certificate of name change

Original court claim was Feb 2015 I defended it with CPR request they failed to respond to my defence judge struck it out

Taken them two years to respond (2 days short of)

The last payment was November 2011 so over the 6 years

am I right in thinking that they can not restart the 2015 claim and would have to start a new claim from now but now statue barred

Thanks

Thread moved to Financial Legal Issues in view of the court claim.

They would have to start fresh proceedings with the courts permission given its the same claim...but it will be statute barred now if they did.

The clock started to tick again when the claim was struck out

Andy

Thanks Andy, that's what I wanted to hear

It's actually2 days short of 3 years

Will wait for them to follow their clients instructions and issue court papers

Have a letter from Howard and co

As follows

We note your assertion that this claim is statute barred, however this is denied by the claimant.

A last payment was received on the account on 01 November 2011.

As such, this claim was issued on 17 February 2015 and is therefore not statue barred.

Further,please find enclosed a copy of the claim history from money claims online,to show that the claim remains live.

Therefore,please contact this office to discuss your proposals accordingly.

All I have is the claim history
