How long do they have from when they receive my defence? Still haven't heard anything as yet. Thanks

 

33 days then it is automatically stayed if they do not respond.

So it's been 35 days since my defence was submitted 4/1/16 and have not heard a thing since. I checked the the MOL website and nothing updated.

So that's it then? They can't carry on with the annoying letters or later down the line try taking me to court again? Or put a default against me?

[dx100uk]

who said those things.

 

 

the claim is simply stayed..stalled

[sarah0906]

today I received a letter from Mortimer Clarke Solicitors regarding a debt from 2003.

I have not had any correspondence since they tried to take me to court back in December 2015

where I filed the debt as statue barred.

 

 

Here is what they say,

 

You previously entered a defence for this debt that the claim is statue barred.

Section 5 limitations act 1980 provides that an action founded on simple contact shall not be brought after the expiration of six years from the date on which the cause of action accused.

 

We were instructed that this case was terminated on 10/09/2010.

Therefore proceeding were issued within the 6 year period.

If you disagree please set out the precise legal basis giving the date on which you believe the debt became statue barred.

 

 

We are keen to work with you to arrange payment etc etc fill out the expenditure form and send back within 30days.

 

Then in a second letter attached they have offered me a 30% discount if I settle. (Which isn't a option anyway).

[dx100uk]

ignore

nothing they can do

Ok thank you I thought they were just trying it on

[AndyOrch]

Termination of the agreement is not necessarily the cause of action...wait and see what else they try.
