I came home to a letter from GDR trace and like an idiot I phoned them.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, I got a bit worried so I called Step Change who have helped me in the past

 

They explained to me that my debt may be written off as it's over 6 years old (statute barred) and that if no contact has been made and I haven't agreed that the debt is mine then it's up to the collection agency to prove it's not written off

they then sent me a letter (by email ) to print off and post to GDR trace outlining this and that no action can be taken

 

If anyone would like a copy of this letter please feel free to contact me with your email address and I will gladly pass it on

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

Ok cheers

 

The letter is as follows. ..I hope it can help someone

 

Creditor name and address:

Account/Agreement No:

Your name and address:

Date:

Dear Sirs

Statute barred debt

I don’t admit liability for this debt. The last payment to this debt was made over 6 years ago and since then I have not acknowledged this debt or made any further payment to it.

As this debt is statute barred, you cannot take court action unless you can provide evidence of payment or written contact from me within this period. This is stated in s5 Limitation Act 1980, and any court claim will be defended on this basis.

If you have evidence that this debt isn’t statute barred then please send it to me within 21 days.

The Financial Conduct Authority state in CONC 7.15 that a firm must not attempt to recover a statute barred debt where they haven’t been in contact with the customer during the relevant period. And that a firm must stop demanding payments to a statute barred debt where the customer has stated they won’t be paying it.

Please confirm in writing that you won’t pursue me further for this debt.

Yours faithfully

Your name

 

 

It has compressed the letter when I pasted it into the thread so it would need arranging properly before sending

Simplify it if you feel you have to reply.

 

Dear Sir etc

 

I do not acknowledge any debt to your client/company.

None withstanding, the account you mention is Statute Barred. No further communications shall be entered into and any legal action shall be defended vigorously

This has all the information required to send in respect of a Statute Barred debt and I do wish StepChange would cease giving out incorrect information - it has nothing to do with lack of contact for the limitation period - a debt becomes statute barred when no admission of liability (in writing) or payment has been made by the "debtor" during that time.
