Lebowski vs Lowell

[JnrLebowski]

Hi All,

 

I sent off the Statute barred letter, recorded delivery, unsigned, and received a letter back from Lowell Financial this time (the first letter was from Lowell Portfolio). It doesn't acknowledge the letter I sent to them - I sent it to Enterprise House, 1 Apex View because the address they told me to respond to was a PO Box.

 

The letter reads:

 

"Dear Mr Lebowski

 

We have been instructed by our client Lowell Portfolio I Ltd to write to you in connection with your outstanding balance as described above. Our objective is to help both you and our client find a solution to this problem. We urgently request that you contact us today before our client instructs us to take further action to recover the balance..."

 

Should I send them the Statute Barred letter too or just ignore the letter and wait for them to contact me again?

 

Thanks in advance

They're part of the same company but they don't know what the other is doing, allegedly

 

Send them a cc of your statute barred letter as a courtesy in response to this latest letter advising that you wil only deal with one DCA at a time as per OFT guidlines

[JnrLebowski]

Thanks babybear, sorry if I'm being dumb but what's a cc? Should I modify the first letter I sent and add a section saying I'll only deal with one DCA?

cc = copy

[JnrLebowski]

Thanks, I thought it may have meant 'certified copy' or something

Babybear is being too kind to these cretins. I would report them to the OFT using the following letter http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/consumer-protection-unfair-trading/147893-complaint-about-being-threatened.html

 

You have informed them the Debt is Statute Barred

Thanks ODC, I'm losing it lol...

[JnrLebowski]

Thanks ODC. I'll send that letter if they persist, which I'm guessing they probably will

Thanks, I thought it may have meant 'certified copy' or something

 

It actually means 'carbon copy' and dates from the days when letters were typed on a typewriter using carbon paper for copies.

I used to use all this - does wonders for both your spelling and your accuracy as the only proper way to correct these is to re-do the whole letter. Later on tippex/snopake came along but that was still a bit messy.

I'm impressed! You learn something new every day, well most days anyway!

[babybear39]

I forgot the carbon bit, does that mean I'm getting senile lol...

[ODC]

Dont forget the old pre photocopying days when all you had was a Gestetner to run off your threatomatics

[palomino]

Yes I do remember them very well.
