Moorcroft & Vertbaudet cat debt

[danworg]

Hello,some advice would be appreciated.

 

My wife had a catalogue way back in the 1990's with Verbaudet and

 

until recently we believed that we had paid it up years ago.

 

However recently we received a letter from Moorcrofts asking us to contact them to arrange settlement for £121.81.

 

Now i am trying my hardest to remember about this debt,

and i seem to remember a while back getting a letter saying that Vertbaudet had ceased trading

(i may be wrong on this),

but what do i need to do to Moorcrofts about settling this.

 

Should they provide proof that my wife still owes this?

 

Look forward to some replies...

Thanks

Ignore it completely, or send the prove it letter. It is up to them to prove a debt exists. Not you to prove it doesnt.

Hi

Can you remember if any payment or written acknowledgement for this debt has been made in the last 6 years. If not then it may be that the debt is Statute Barred.

 

What you could do is send Moorcrap a 'prove it' letter from the library. Do not sign it in ink. print it on a printer.

 

Always start a letter, "I acknowledge no debt to you nor any company you claim to represent."

 

Also check your credit file to see if there is anything listed there.

i'd also report them to the regulators. This wont be a one off 'admin error'.
