rundles Money owing to Great Yarmouth Council for ??rent??

[im-mad]

Hi

 

I have received a letter today from Rundels enforcement agents, on behalf of Great Yarmouth Borough Council, for a claimed debt of £1,600. The only money I can remember possibly owing was for rent, but not for that much, in 2005.

 

Is a rent debt of this age enforceable or is it statute bared? Who do I write to to tell them I don't owe it?

 

Many thanks

Just standard debt collection letter. Of course they won't tell you it is statute barred and it is up to you whether you pay or not. It is not unlawful to suggest court action, because that would be up to normal legal process.

 

Write back just stating that as the matter appears to relate back to 2005, that it is subject to the limitations act 1980 and that you would defend any county court claim on that basis. Advise them to desist in writing to you, unless they can provide evidence to support that the matter is not statute barred.

I thought as much but wanted to be sure.

 

Thank you

they shouldn't be sending letter implying they are bailiffs

report it to FCA.

 

 

its an old summary debt.

the letter isnt implying bailiff action, they are just the same as solicitors acting as debt collectors, using their letterhead to hope you think that the nice begging letter they have sent you has more influence than it deserves.

Ignore or tell them the debt is statute barred and to refer the matter back to their client.

No I moved away in 2005. I had constant arguments with housing benefit over the amount they paid vs amount should have paid.

then they will soon stop writing as they get paid to do this, not because they love you.
