30th April 2018. My wife's were the same with some in May but hers are now in the closed accounts tab with balances of zero. My others were also april 30th from cabot, again closed and zeroed

Sorry il make this my last reply. Me and my wife both had 5 or 6 defaults each all in April 2018. Only one of mine was acquired by lowell. None of my wife's.her credit score went through the roof when all were closed . Mine stayed the same due to lowell still reporting. Again thankyou so much for your advice , i hear what you say .guess il just wait til the 6 year date. I just didn't want to waste my time pursuing a lost cause. Cheers

Hi thankyou for your reply. So have the other debt collectors just been overly generous? I understand the need to report but surely the information needs to be correct? I was under the understanding that under Scots legislation, prescribed means no longer exists as opposed to not being legally enforceable? Again thankyou for your reply , I just don't want to keep pushing if I'm in the wrong.

I am looking for advice please. I had major debt issues starting in 2018. April this year all my debts were prescribed under Scots law. All companies wrote to me saying accounts were closed and amounts zeroed. Including lowell. All companies closed the credit file reporting zero balances and account satisfied, apart from lowell who continue to report open and owing. I have complained to them and transunion and also now the ico. All three continue to say lowell is in the right ie the 6 year default date etc. However , how can this be as , is it not the case that prescribed debts in Scotland cease to exist unlike englands where its just not legally enforceable. I have no problem that they want to report for 6 years , my issue is it should be accurate. In my mind the debt ceased to exist in April, not open and owing as lowell are stating. I have re complained to the ico and also complained to the fca and fos. Any advice please? Am I right that prescribed debt is different to statue barred? Many thanks
