Intrum collections sold 8yrs old E.ON debt

[nigrob]

Hi,

 

Intrum have just sent me a letter about an old energy debt that is over 8 years old now and I wondered how to proceed with Intrum.

is there a letter to send to them that asks them to prove the debt and also stops them harassing me as they are currently doing.

Also due to the age of the debt is it Statute Barred?

 

thanks

When did you pay them last? statute barred starts 6 yrs from the date of your last payment

if its 8yrs old its statute barred yes

for an old address I would assume

and ofcourse they dont  state our client as the utils co?

so they bought a lemon hoping to fleece mugs that know no better.

 

can you scan up the letter to PDF please

read upload

Hi, it is passed 6 years since last payment so advice on how to proceed would be appreciated.

I have uploaded 2 letters, the one from EON does not look to be from an official Eon source due to the quality of the letter and the layout. Also would Eon in April 2019 send a letter out to Intrum about an account being sold in January 2019 and not send a letter to me when it states “your account”

the debts SB'd.

 

send our sb letter

[nigrob]

 Could you post the link to the SB letter?

[brassnecked]

This should be the one

Hi,

Response received to SB letter from Intrum saying that as payments were received in July 2013 this is not Statute Barred.

The default was registered in 2011 and SB does not apply until July 2019.

 

I have no recollection of the payments they mention being paid and I am pretty confident they were not made.

 

How should I proceed now please.

[dx100uk]

Ignore them

back billing rules must apply

[London1971]

Just ignore them, it will be statute barred in  6 weeks, 

[brassnecked]

They are hoping you will respond so they can claim you aknowledged the debt so SB clock reset, in their twisted minds.

[London1971]

Yup and if you haven't received a Pre Action protocol letter yet, there is no way it's going to court before the Stat Barred date.

you could send Intrum a SAR and see what they are on about. Dont specify what you are asking for and let them provide what they have. If they then fail to provide a copy of the statement/payment record they have said was made in July 2013 you have them over a barrel for breach of statutory duty for thier failure to provide all of your data.

donmt provide an email address so they have to send it out in the post

its a utils bill

ignore them

these dca's sometimes take a punt this timeof year in buying old utils bills as people sometimes think an old utils bill is a priority debt it is NOT.

it doesn't give them anymore powers than buying any other debt..and that's ZERO before they start

just remember it a single line in a spreadsheet and the auto pc spews out letters with no human involved.

 

sadly 99% of muppets cough up.

 

ignore!

Hi,

 

Ignored Intrum since last letter.

Noticed this week that an entry has been added to my credit file from EON with a status of settled.

Strange after over 6 years that an entry has been added.

 

Any advice please.

[dx100uk]

is there a defaulted date par chance?

 

[nigrob]

No Default date , just a start date , updated date and settled date.
