I spoke to my solicitor this morning and he advised me to ring GLP Solicitors to request more information, I spoke to the female trainee solicitor that is suppose to be in charge of the case, requesting additional information. She was extremely rude and obnoxious and just lept saying for me to fill in the forms and post them back. I told that i had know idea what the claim was about and that i would pass the letter that they sent to me to my solicitor. Her response was " ok whos your solocitor then", I told her who it is and she seem very suprised that I had my own solicitor. I informed her not to contact me again but to go through my solicitor, she responded "fine " then hung up. I have an appointment with my solicitor at 1400hrs today, so will post what they say.

I too I have received court papers today from a solicitors called GLP in Manchester. Having read the paperwork I started to notice that none of the paperwork was original and there were shadows from the photocopier. Even the date had been altered to suit the statue of limitation which is in 3 days, as in your case the car went back but there is no mention of this in the paperwork. I won't be acknowledging anything until I have spoken to my solicitor

not at all, if your dates are correct that statute of limitation still applies to the CSA.

when i spoke to my solictor about my case, she said dont give them any info cos they;re like a dog with a bone. she also told me about a case were the couple were being asked for £59000 by the csa. the csa claim because the cuple had given information freely it must be right. the couple went and saw the same solictor as i am seeing, the solictor wrote a letter to the csa regarding limitation laws extra and the csa disappeared. i would reccommend getting a solictor, there is loads of great information on here and i have found it very usfull, but its something about solictors headed paper that makes the CSA disappear.

Very interesting meeting with my solicitor this morning, after she picked herself up of the floor from laughing at the CSA, she responded first by calling them paraciites and then by saying " i wouldnt even give it a secound thought, they are just trying it on ( limitation act) and they know it, dont give them any information. i will write to them on your behalf and tell them ( legal term for F*** O*F)

thats very true, atleast i can get some info from the electoral roll. when i booked my appmoint with the solictor she asked what where the dates and commented on "thats interesting". the thing with HSBC would of helped me but as they are still unwilling to help even though i have a savings account still with, i have told them that i will be closing it. my main thing is for the CSA to do their own leg work and prosecute to the illegal claimant. it would of been nice to just say to the CSA its over 6 years so do one

even though i still bank with HSBC they claim they dont hold any information after six years and it is not within their company policy anyway, which seems a bit of a strange answer. i have an appointment with my solictor tomorrow, so i will know more tomorrow. it would be interesting to see the outcome. hopefully my solictor will use the Statute barred act to make them go away and persue the person who made the illegal claim

no, we all lived at the same address up until july 2008. all this happened whilst i was at work and i never had a clue. i spoke to my bank and they only keep records for 6 years, however i have spoke to the electoral roll office and they will provide me with the information and so will the military. i dont want to have a debt that belongs to some sceeming tramp, the CSA still believe her even though she was caught out by Child Benefit a few years ago

the illegal claim is that she claimed that i had left her with the kids, where fact we were still married and living together. i have also spoke the the council tax office and had me removed of their system prior to her making her claim. she even changed the bills into her name. fortuantley there are some things that she cant change without my signature. but because the Child Support Agency have recieved a claim from her, they believe that it is fact. i know have to prove i was still living with her. so they say i owe the money

by the way what is AFAIK?

so now as long as i can prove that i lived at the address whist she made an illegal claim, she would be responible for the debt presumably

how would these dates fall into the rules

the dates they are claiming is march 2000 to dec 2003

sorry for sounding thick, but does that mean they can persue or not. My now ex wife made the claim without my knowledge whist we were stll married and the CSA have told me the debt belongs to me. i told them that i was still living there and they have told me to prove it.

Hi, having read the above posts, can anyone please confirm that the limitations act applies to an 11 years old csa claim. i have just found out that my ex wife made a claim with the csa whilst we were still together and now the csa are pursuing me for £13000. i have spoken to the csa and thay say it is for me to prove that i lived at the address, is this correct

I read somewhere on the forum regarding a list of "golden rule" to follow. Can someone please send me the link to this eli

No probs, how long do they have to prove it. I have had a few sleepless night since this started and am looking forward to a good nights sleep:-)

Well i havent recieved any mail today from GLP, however i have give some thought to my past finances and i believe that i may of had some dealings with Marsh Finance about 4 1/2 years ago but i have heard anything from them in the last 4 1/2 years. Can anyone advise me on the best course of action now even though i spoke to GLP

Thanks for all the information, i have printed of the letter that cerberusalert has given me the link too and i shall wait to see if a second letter turns up next Tuesday 15th. If so the letter will go in the post and i shall keep you all informed of the out come. Thanks again everyone

with regards to the letter i should send, should i leave the address out as it isnt my address

i think as i am not sure of the dates and that fact that i have contacted them, i have sealed my fate. thanks for all the replies though

what is the likely step that solictors take after first contact, is it safe to ignore any future letters, and return thm to sender

i have already spoken to them as i wasnt sure who they where and as i am usure on the dates where does that leave me

Thanks for the speedy replies, however i am unsure of any dates. if i have had any dealing with this company i cant be sure it is more than 6 years. even though i have spoke to the solictor, is it safe to ignore any futher letters from the solictors

Hi, i am new to the forum and appologise if i have posted something that has already been answer. My problem is that a solicitors in Manchester (GLP) have sent a leeter to my parents house, where i have lived for 25yrs . My parents phoned me to tell me that a letter had arrived with a solictors stamp on the envelope, i collected the letter and opened it to find that a finance company (Marsh) had tasked them to collect a £5000 debt which i had no idea existed. I phoned the solictors to enquire who they where and informed them that i didnt know who they where and that the address they had posted to was my parents and that i hadnt lived there for 25years. The solictor told me i had until the 15/02/11 to pay the full amount or the word follow with court proceeding. Can anyone help with any information chris
