I received a letter from this honourable company some time ago, which went straight to the shredder after having read about them online.

 

Today I received letter number two, addressed to me:

------------------------------------

We note that you have failed to respond to mail directed to you.

YOU HAVE BEEN TRACED AS LIVING AT THE ADDRESS STATED ABOVE. PLEASE CONTACT OUR RECOVERY DIVISION IMMEDIATELY ON 020 8734 3599.

If you have not established contact with this department within the next five days, an agent may telephone between the hours of .....

Yours sincerely

---------------------------------

Nothing to indicate what it is about, only their reference number.

 

I registered and checked on Noddle, there are no CCJs against me. I have 3 credit cards: one is up to date, and I have a repayment plan with the other two.

 

So all I can think of, is that this has to do with a debt before 2003. I can't even think that far back :)

 

So, do I ignore them?

Ruthbridge are well known for chasing duff statute barred debts that

no company further up the pond life food chain would ever touch.

They like to posture threaten all manner of ''nasty consequences'' for not

paying them.

 

Please check your credit files other than call credit(noddle and checkmy file which

tend to lag behind the others.

 

If nothing shows on the files and you are certain what thet are chasing (written confirmation)

and it is stat barred send this:

 

To the Compliance Manager

Ruthbridge Ltd.,

 

Ref:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

Dear Sir or Madam,

 

 

I write regarding a debt for xxxxxxx which you allege is owed by me.

Please take note I do not acknowledge any debt to you or any company

you may claim to represent.

 

From advice received and independant research I have concluded that any

such alleged debt is STATUTE BARRED therefore I state that I will not now

or in the future make any payment or offer of payment now or in the future.

 

Furthermore you will cease immediately to process any personal data relating

to me and remove all data from your records.

I am fully conversant with the OFT Guidance on Debt Collection and in particular

the sections regarding pursuit of ststute barred debt, and the section regarding

the sale of statute barred debt without informing the purchaser of the status of

the debt.

Any further correspondence relating to this will be considered harassment other

than your confirmation of compliance with this instruction.

Equifax doesn't show any CCJs either, not for the last 8 years anyway. Before that, I can't even remember where I lived.

 

If I do send them that letter, then I'm effectively acknowledging receipt of their letter, and that I live here. Yes/no? Besides, I don't even know what they are chading.

Why not leave it a while and see if they follow up.

 

If they telephone, are you able to record the call? If not then just refuse to go through their security questions and they should, in theory, stop the call.

I have no problem in leaving it, just don't want a knock on the door LOL.

 

As for the telephone, I have caller display. If I don't recognize the number, I generally don't answer. Even when I do answer, I refuse to give any answers until they tell me who is calling and what it is regarding.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

  • 3 weeks later...

I went out this morning, and when I came back, there was a card from Royal Mail to inform me that a recorded delivery letter has been left for me at my post office. Now I am not expecting anything, and wondering if this could be a trick to establish that I do indeed live at this address. Maybe I should go and ask the post office if they could tell me who it is from, and maybe I could Google it?

to accept the letter.

Most DCAs don't use RD because of the cost.
