Hi All

 

I just got a letter dated the 6th of December 2007 for a defaulted debt dated 7th of december 2001, which dropped off my credit record on the 7th, yesterday. I assume I am to ignore this as I have not admited to them the debt or given them any money and thus the debt has legaly expired?

 

Please tell me i'm correct!:confused:

 

Am I in my rights to ring them and tell them to "do one" in more harsh terms without exposing myself to any risk of re-awakening the debt?:eek::)

Thread moved to General Debt Forum.

HAVE YOU BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY BY CREDITORS OR DCA's?

 

BEWARE OF CLAIMS MANAGEMENT COMPANIES OFFERING TO WRITE OFF YOUR DEBTS.

Ouch. Poor DCA NOT!!! :D.

 

As advised you need to ingonore the letter and pretend you did not recieve it for at least 5 days.

 

After that send them the statue barred letter in the templates stickys above these threads.

Why? by chasing an expired debt, have they actually done anything illegal? I ask because I've also been chased by Mackenzie Hall in the past (which was also expired and so ignored).

Actually the date of default ISN'T the time the clock starts.

It starts when you last acknowledged the debt is writing or by payment.

Now assuming you haven't do so since the default then this is well and truely barred.

Bear in mind a default is registered after you have missed a number of payments.

 

As ever Mucky Hall have bought a Turkey;)

 

They can request payment, but enforcement (court) action is NOT possible.

 

Now send them a Statute Barred letter and that should be the end of it, but knowing Mucky it won't be.

 

Consumer Credit Act (CCA) request.

There is a template letter to be found here: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt/20758-creditors-dcas-letter-templates.html

Letter N.

Is it important to start the letter:

I DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY DEBT TO YOUR COMPANY in Big Bold letters.

Be VERY careful whose advice you listen too

Thats excellent advise, thanks very much!

 

Just to note, i have NOT spoken/written to anyone regarding this debt since before the date of default so, I'll get printing that letter and sending it off:-D
