My husband has received a letter from Lowlifes today for an overdraft on an Abbey National account from (if memory serves me correctly) about 10 years ago. It tells us that the account (which was joint with me) was opened in 1998 and I know we didn't have the account when we moved 9 years ago. Hubby is invited to call them to discuss clearing this account (which I thought was very kind of them lol) and that they used his credit file to obtain his address.

How should we respond? There is no way on Gods green earth that any movement has occurred on this account within the last 6 years but looking at other posts fear reprisals due to their aggressive tactics!:???:

Just send them the statute barred letter and it is up to Lowell to prove otherwise.

Once you have sent the letter, then it is up to Lowell to look into this and to reply. I suspect that they will just confirm it is statute barred and they will close their files. Per OFT debt collection rules, once you have advised them the debt is statute barred and you don't want to be contacted, they will have to stop.

 

The OFT allows DCA' s to write to people about old SB'd debts, but once they have been told to stop by the debtor, they have to stop collection activity.

We could do with some help from you.

Good advice given as always, ask for all proof of debts as above, and then take it from their.wendyboats xx:-)
