Amount registered on CRA changed to reflect added Court Costs

[daverules]

Hi there,

friend of mine has been dealing with cabot for a CC,

she has ignored them for some time

 

 

recently been receiving letters regarding going to court from their solicitors

stating the amount court costs would be,

she is not worried about that as she knows it will be statues barred very soon

 

 

but she has just checked her file on Clear score

and the amount has been increased by the amount of court costs described in their last letter.

 

Can they do this, add the costs on to her cra file before it's even been to court?

 

Many thanks.

doesn't really matter as such

its std practice

but ofcourse

they must issue proceedings to justify it.

 

 

being 'shortly' statue barred does stop them for issuing a claim mind

they might already have.

 

 

the claimform will pause the sB clock if they have done.

 

 

me thinks she needs to make sure they know here correct address?

as I bet they don't

and they've issued a claimform to the last known address

 

 

and sadly quite rightly so.

if she has never updated them.

Hi

thanks for the response dx.

 

They have her address as they have written to her several times.

 

Her concern was that the amount they added has taken her over £5000 leaving it open for them to issue bankruptcy order?

 

General question for my notes regarding the claimform pausing the SB clock, if they fail to get a CCJ does that restart

the SB clock and if so does it start another 6 years or pick up where it was when the claimform was issued?
