Many thanks for the rapid replies. So I'm safe that my debt is long since SB and Equidebts threats that it wont go away this morning were simply idle threats in the hopes of getting me flustered. There's no way that I can be made via legal measure to pay or get into trouble. Thanks for putting my mind at rest, I'll await the letter I asked for from them and reply as suggested or with one of the template letters provided on the site here. Thanks again!

Hi all, Hoping I can get a spot of advice on the below if possible. I had a similar letter from Equidebt last week and have been at work during the office hours so called them this morning (reading above I should have not done so). Confirmed all the details and the chap told me what the debt was for, from 1999. I told him that as far as I was concerned it was statutory barred and an unenforceable debt to which he replied "yes its SB and we cant legally chase you however the debt is still outstanding, if we dont recover the debt then someone else will chase you for it, it wont ever go away"? Is that just scare tactics and my own fault for phoning them (getting what I deserve for not reading here first!) I've asked him to confirm it in writing so I can use one of the templates on this site to officially inform them of my intention to query liability as no one has contacted me for way over 6 years, is there anything else I should do? Thanks for any help!
