I have read on other posts that Lowell have been using other postal addresses

Could be they're trying to make themselves look bigger than they really are . . again :razz:

[sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I asked them to wait whilst I got my Bank card :violin:

Hamptons ARE Lowell, the fact that they have offered you a 50% discount is indicative of their lack of paperwork evidence or CCA, game over.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

exactly. you haven't done a cca, cpr, sar request etc so there's no real indication as to what, if any, doc they might have that could be enforceable, unless you now know for sure that you did not sign anything at the time that c/b enforceable. i was suggesting (perhaps pedantically :-)) that some dca's may still offer a 'discount' near the 'end' of their 'activities' despite having the correct 'paperwork', or thinking that they have the correct paperwork. :-)

also as you say it is nearly statute barred, perhaps they realise this and are trying to get some money off you before it is.

IF they have all of the documents required and in order, then they would not offer any such discount, after all they have the evidence in front of them to take you to court and recover the full amount, offering a discount merely suggests that there is something amiss and they know they wouldn't be able to recover the full amount, therefore offering a discount in the hope of retrieving something.

Letter recieved to day this time on behalf of lowels . This time Buchanan clark +wells ?. Nice red heading ,. formal demands

We have been instructed by lowel to recover the over due debt of £ 428.32 on there behalf .

Our clients have informed us that they are unaware of any legitimate reason for non payment whilst they would prefer anamicable settlement they will not hesitate to commence legal proceedings ( big heavy black printed ) if necessary . then usual what will happen if i get taken to court ,. now should i still ignore or not this is a 12 yr old debt which has not been paid in yrs so could be sb or very close to .... i have not responded to any of there letters ever , so do i cca them or just file it with the others ? many thanks as usual .

BCW are just rubbish threat monkeys that send many letters and make loads of phone calls for a few months, before giving up. If Lowells have allowed the debt to be passed to another company, it means that they have given up.

 

Suggest that you ignore or send them a letter asking for proof, i.e. CCA and statements of account. It is up to you. It depends whether you want to waste money on postage and then get no response.

BCW are not just debt collectors, they are rubbish debt collectors, who are at the bottom of the food chain. They are a bit like Mackezie Hall in that they do a lot of barking for a few months and then give up. They just get the debts that other debt companies have not managed to collect on.

 

If you think about it, if this debt could be collected by using the courts, they would have done so by now. This debt is either statute barred or will be very soon and they don't have the necessary documents to enforce.

Doorstep visit letter below - you can send it to them or keep handy if anyone calls, I actually doubt if they will. A CCA request may see them off or you could continue to ignore their threats

CAT,

 

I sense from reading the thread that you so want to send a letter but the CAGS no best and will advise you every step of the way.

 

Re-read the letters and you will find that it is more 'May' happen or 'Might' happen, they never state it will happen as that would mean they would have to follow through with costs attached and have a rock solid case to ensure payment would be made.

 

As read in previous posts, its SB from the last payment they received from you which as it defaulted in 2006 would have been 12 months prior, so I imagine (see my use of words lol) its close or has SB. But dont hold me to that lol.

If it is worrying you send them the CCA request and then the 'account in dispute' letter after 12 plus 2 working days if no agreement sent. It would give you some peace of mind.

 

Do you have an address for the original creditor as you could send the a SAR request which would cost a £10 postal order but you might be able to obtain the date of the last payment and other documents if they exist? I can give you a template to do this.

Any notion of a doorstep collector can be easily put to bed, the reason why you are feeling threatened and intimidated is simply becuase that is exactly whta their foolish puerile letters are designed to do, the law is on your side much more than it is theirs, they have got away with breaching guidelines and stautes for a very long time and it needs changing ASAP, which is why the OFT and experian are in talks with the CSA & DBSG to standardise these threat letters, and to remove all the bowlarks from them.

 

Have a read of this link and print off the letter and keep it by the front door.

If you do receive a doorstep visit we give these suggestions to Members.

 

Give them the template letter linked below through the letterbox or chained door.

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...DOORSTEP-VISIT

 

Tell them to leave as you have nothing to discuss and all communication must be in writing.

 

Tell them you will call the police if they don't leave immediately.

 

Remain calm and polite at all times.

 

Walk away from the door so the visitor cannot try and talk to you.

 

If they don't leave, call the police to report that you are being harassed and the visitor refuses to leave.

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?410-LETTER-USED-WHEN-A-DCA-THREATENS-A-DOORSTEP-VISIT

 

If some fool decided to grace your doorstep, then say nothing, hand them that letter and close the door, if they remain, tell them to go play on the motorway, and ring the Police 999, and report that their is a stranger on your property who won't leave when told to do so, and you believe they will cause a breach of the peace.

 

You could take another look at your credit file, I would probably do this prior to sending or replying to anything these children have sent, just so you know where your at with regards to the life of the alleged debt, and you can tread carefully.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!
