Hi guys just a quick one here,

 

I've looked in the templates but can't seem to find the letter to send DCA's if you definitely know the debt is statue barred?

 

My partners first debt is with ARROW GLOBAL LTD and the last payment was April 2009 (Default date 20/10/2009) and the other one is with AKTIV KAPITAL who didn't even receive a first payment (Default date 09/06/2009) She has been hounded and hounded by phone call from ARK EUROPE and CARS for which debt we don't know

 

My partner has made absolutely no communication at all so she/we are both now thinking these debts are now SB so now need to send the letter for the agencies to stop hounding her and update her credit report.

 

I'm pretty sure there is a letter for this as mentioned but I really can't find it within the templates, maybe I'm looking in the wrong section?

 

Thanks

God this website is a bit difficult on an tablet, you can't even edit your comment :( you have to always head over to full website.

 

Ok I'll have a look mate :) thank you

 

This is a tricky one.. there has been a lot of debate on this.

 

1st account

 

Last payment - April 2009 - Default date October 2009. Do you recall receiving a Default Notice (totally separate from the Default marker on the credit file) ?

 

It used to be that we would advise people to start the SB clock from the time the first payment was missed. eg.. your last payment was April 2009 - the first missed payment would have been May 2009. However, we are now advising that you add at least 2 months in order to cater for the fact that creditor would need to send a Default notice and it not be remedied for the cause of action to occur - breach of contract. The recording of Default Markers on credit files can take up to 6 months to occur and are not really a good indication of when the DN was issued.

 

So April/ May plus 2 months would be around August. In which case you perhaps could risk a SB letter.

 

The other account which you advise was Defaulted in June 2009 - if no payments were ever made on this I would look at when the contract was entered into - if the Original creditor proceeded as others do with not recording the first Default marker until 6 months are passed, then, it could be that this is statute barred.

 

It might be in your interest to establish when Default Notices were issued..

 

However, you could try to string this out a little longer by first sending a prove it letter or CCA request and also the telephone harassment letters demanding that they cease attempting to contact you in this way. If they don't, then you can escalate your complaint to the Ombudsman.

 

I think even though you are in Scotland, recording of Defaulted accounts still continues for the full 6 years, even though the statute barred time is only 5, doesn't it?

In regards to the type of accounts is this why you have arrived at this conclusion Ford?

 

 

start of limitation period re loans/hp for eg can be different to credit cards.

as citb says, re a cred card, start is usually one/two/or three mths after the last contractual payment ie when in breach (or after any later payment/acknowledgment thereafter which has reset the clock)

Once you have told them it is statute barred, then they should cease chasing.. but sometimes the message doesn't sink in. If they do continue, then you should consider making a complaint to the Ombudsman.
