"Yeah thats what i meant, it was only statute barred by 1 week, but they wanted money before it was statute barred but we didn't acknowledge the debt"

 

Superb- thats what we like to hear, suzi!

 

The debt still exists, but the law says they can whistle from now till eternity if they want it back.

 

Had you paid anthing BEFORE the six years was up, different story- but afterwards you can pay them whatever you like but it will always be SB.

Thank God for C4 and F5 on my PC !!!!!!

[tomterm8]

I was told otherwise, oh well

 

I refer to The Limitation Act 1980 s29 paragraph 7

 

(6)A payment of a part of the rent or interest due at any time shall not extend the period for claiming the remainder then due, but any payment of interest shall be treated as a payment in respect of the principal debt.

(7)Subject to subsection (6) above, a current period of limitation may be repeatedly extended under this section by further acknowledgments or payments, but a right of action, once barred by this Act, shall not be revived by any subsequent acknowledgment or payment.

 

Further, the program misstated the law, in so far as a limitation period is not extended by contact, it is only extended by payment or by a written and signed acknowledgement of the debt. Spoken acknowledgement is not sufficient.

Did anyone catch the bit at the beginning where they stated 'it was started in a front room in Wimbledon...' I wonder if there are any links to the HFO mob via Marlin, would be some interesting research - perhaps that Mark will be sent to India to train the monkeys there.

 

Seeing HFWhos name reminded me of that bit - how is it going mate?

We need to all bombard the bloody OFT !!

 

What an utter bunch of wilfully shameful unenforcers ( for want of a better word !!? ).

 

Yeh, we on CAG all know about the pond life that is the debt collection inducsrty ... and now many others are getting a glimpse of what these sheeit are too !

However, the bigger worry for many on here - myself included - is that I thought strongly that the OFT were just there waiting, eager to fight our corner aginst this legalised racketeers ? Not so ....

TO ALL GUESTS THE MESSAGE SEEK PROFESSIONAL .HELP

 

WELL WE ARE HERE.

 

THE VERY BEST REGARDS LILLY

 

POOR MARLINS VERY POOR

[I've got no money]

I really didn't rate the programme - they gave out a lot of incorrect information - not least of which was the garbage about debtors not being allowed to see the assignment - which is just plain wrong.

 

They also didn't really speak to any real experts - where was Rosenburg or Say

[postggj]

before my say gets lost

 

so its now been confirmed

 

mortimer clark and marlin are one and the same

 

they answer the phone as mortimer clark yet are not sols, just a threat monkey

[banker_rhymes_with]

One interesting comment I think I picked up:

 

If the DCAs are busy chasing £21 Billion of UK Consumer Debt...

 

...then why the Furk did the UK banks need £500 billion to bail them out?

 

After all, if it was us irresponsible Debtors who caused this Recession, by squandering our Credit Cards and Loans on Holidays, Alcopops, 4WDs, Shell Suits, Pizza, Trainers and Plasma TVs, then why did the banks need an extra £479 billion?

 

The thick plottens Dr Watson.

 

Cheers,

BRW

[mr.ton]

Im really not sure how you can train a rogue like Mark exactly?

[babybear39]

PF, they knew they were on TV and have been trying like F*** to limit their damage

[brokebutnotbeatn]

OK- have to go. Well done everyone who contributed to the programme and the Dispatches site. And thanks for fighting our corner! I don't say much as a rule, but I sure as H appreciate the in put of those who know more than me and aren't afraid to share it.

[sillygirl1]

Mark my words, the solicitors who sell their names to these DCAs will be next to be targetted.

 

We now have 107 people on the thread who are Caggers and 42 guests! Hello to the guests, hope you gain some useful information here.

[pt2537]

debtors not being allowed to see the assignment - which is just plain wrong. Quite right' date=' Lord Denning made that point in VAN LYNN DEVELOPMENTS LTD. v. PELIAS CONSTRUCTION CO. LTD. (formerly JASON CONSTRUCTION CO. LTD.) - [1969'] 1 Q.B. 607

 

They also didn't really speak to any real experts - where was Rosenburg or Say

nor did they speak to Steven Turner, David Berkley Qc, Daniel Rogers, William Ralston, Jeremy Gordon, Toby Riley smith to name but a few more

Bingo!!!!!!

[mr.ton]

Putting dislike/hatred for the individual aside for one moment - i genuinley do think that Channel 4 have put Marks life at risk now
