Hi guys just wondering if some one could give me a bit of advise ,

 

i had my home repossessed 9 years ago ,

there was a shortfall when they sold it at auction .

 

They haven`t bothered us for 9 years (halifax)

then today i got a letter from the halifax saying they have passed the debt on to moorcroft dept recovery ,

 

i don`t really know what to do, we have not acknowledged this debt .

and cant afford £20,000.

 

any advise would be help full.

Totally powerless dca is not a bailiff

And halifax know shortfall under MLC rules outside of 6 yrs are considered uncollectable

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Just ignore Moorcroft or any debt collection agency. It would be up to Halifax to take it further if they could.

 

Under Council for Mortgage Lenders rules, if the Mortgage lender does not make contact for 6 years to chase such a shortfall debt, then I am not sure Halifax can take this forward. This is nothing to do with limitation act, but something mortgage lenders agreed to.

We could do with some help from you.

your home was repo'd it can only be that which is covered by the CML rules

I would politely suggest

[not that I don't would ever say a DCA is lying......….]

that Moorcroft are trying it on for free money to fund their workers holidays

 

as Halifax don't know a thing about them sending the letter......

when they sold the house they did get in touch with us through a letter telling us there was a shortfall but were were out of work at the time so they said for now we will not pursue it . i think we did get another letter a bout a year later but nothing after that ,till now with moorcroft , does the fact that they did get in touch with us change anything .

From the guidelines it seems to be that if they haven't contacted you within six years then it's as if it is time-barred.

 

How long ago was the last contact?

because its been assigned by halifax ? does this make it enforcable? in other words can they take me to court .

 

Most Banks don't employ that many debt collection staff because the cost would be far too much. Instead the debts are assigned out to DCA's after a given period. With Halifax what seems to happen is that they pass debts to whichever DCA they have contracts with at the time. The DCA will then attempt contact over 6 months or so and if no joy pass it back to Halifax. Halifax may eventually pass it over to the Solicitors they use Shoosmiths, who will write out, but not very often. In the cases I have seen reported, they send a few letters, then give up and a year later more letters. I suppose this is because they have thousands of such debts and cannot spend the time doing much with each case.

 

It think it will always be Halifax that authorise any court actions. I cannot remember seeing them sell on a debt and a new debtor has then taken court action. As dx says, generally OC's don't do court on such debts. If you think about it, if someone has just lost a house through repossession, it is unlikely that much money would be obtained through a CCJ. I doubt a creditors costs would even be covered.

Basically the bank is in poor shape so they keep the debt on their books as an asset rather than writing it off. that makes it look like the bank can fulfill the liquidity requirements of the EU. idiotic rules forcing idiots to make idiotic statements and idiotic decisions.
