Cabot have been persuing me for a Halifax Credit Card Debt (pre 2007) of around £3,000.

 

 

I was previoulsy paying them around £12 per month, but now cannot afford this due to being out of work.

 

My Experian credit file strangely does not even show the original Halifax debt or any money owning to Cabot, who I assume have now purchased this.

 

Under these circumstances should I now ask for a copy of the CCA?

 

Thanks

Strange that this is another account where Cabot are not registering defaults. I wonder what's going on.

Before you criticise another man you should first walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticise him, you'll be a mile away and he won't have any shoes on.

 

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

 

I am not European, I am English.

It's been three years since they first contacted me about the account.

 

 

Before that I was paying Halifax at a reduced monthly repayment.

 

 

There is no record of the card account showing on my experian report,

which I find very odd, although I assume this supports my case regarding a CCA?

have you received a default notice?

if not, and you are on an agreed payment plan then it maybe that it won't be registered.

but it soon will be! once you've had the dn! (and the dn isn't remedied)

That is a good point, I have only checked Experian.

 

 

I haven't had much contact from them for a while.

 

 

I sent them an offer of token payment, but they just sent me a payment card, without confirming acceptance of my offer.

AFAIK a default has to be registered within six months of it occurring.

 

don't they need to issue a dn first?

It is likely that I received a default notice from the Halifax around 2007!

 

 

I initially made reduced payments to them, and then Cabot took over.

 

 

I haven't been able to make payments to Cabot for around 8 months now.

 

 

Should I send them a CCA request if I receive any more correspondence,

they seem to have gone quiet recently,

although I did receive a call on my mobile today from a number that is registered as Cabot.

 

 

The call blocker software on my Blackberry automatically drops the call though :)

Good morning

 

I have just received a threat of court proceedings if I do not respond letter from Mortimer Clarke/Cabot re a Halifax credit card debt which I think is now statute barred.

 

I have checked my credit report on ClearScore and the debt is not showing on the report at all, would this indicate it is statute barred? As far as I am aware I have not paid anything to them for over 6 years.

 

How should I proceed with this?

 

Thanks

Rob

You can either send them the letter in the following link..

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?387368-Letter-to-be-sent-when-debt-is-Statute-Barred-**Update-21st-April-2014**

 

At the very least you should obtain a Free Proof of posting certificate from the Post office when sending.

 

Or, you could wait until they issue a claim and submit a Statute Barred Defence.

 

If it is no longer showing on your credit report then this would prove that 6 years has passed from the default date. As long as you have made no payments or admitted liability for the debt during that period then yes, I would say it is statute barred.

 

If this were me, then I would be sending the SB letter to head off any claim being issued.

Thanks for that, I think contacting them before they issue a claim is definitely the way forward.

 

Do these companies not know whether debts are SB or not, or do they just assume people are ignorant and will offer to pay anyway?

Of course they know that a debt is statute barred and yes, they do assume that people would not be aware of this as well.

 

Sadly there are people who would NOT be aware and would panic on receipt of their letters and not seek help/advice before making contact with the company.

 

If you receive further communication after you have sent your SB letter, then do let us know. It has not been unheard of for companies to imply there has been a payment made when there hasn't.

The address MC have used to contact me is also rather strange. The first line and post code are correct, however it lists THREE post towns under the first line, which are in wildly different geographic areas!
