Re: lowell and chasing debt is it statue barred ???
hi nem here is the prove it letter I sent.
dear sir/madam
You have contacted me regarding the account with the above reference number, which you claim is owed by myself.
I would point out that I have no knowledge of any such debt being owed to jd Williams.
I am familiar with the Consumer Credit Source book of the financial conduct authority (FCA) which states the following rules:
A firm must suspend any steps it takes or its agents takes in the recovery of a debt from a customer where the customer disputes the debt on valid grounds or what may be valid grounds
7.14.1
Where a customer disputes a debt on valid grounds or what may be valid grounds, the firm must investigate the dispute and provide details of the debt to the customer in a timely manner 7.14.3
A firm must provide a customer with information on the outcome of its investigations into a debt which the customer disputed on valid grounds. 7.14.5
Where a customer disputes a debt and the firm seeking to recover the debt is not the lender or the owner, the firm must :
1) Pass the information provided by the customer to the lender or the owner or
2) If the firm has authority from the lender or owner to investigate a dispute it must notify the lender or owner of the outcome of the investigation 7.14.6
In not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonably queried or disputed debt you are using deceptive and or unfair methods furthermore, ignoring and or disregarding claims that debts have been settled or are disputed and continuing to make unjustified demands for payment amounts to physical/psychological harassment.
I would ask that no further contact be made concerning the above account unless you can provide evidence as to my liability for the debt in question.
I await your written confirmation that this matter is now closed , otherwise I will have no option but to make a complaint to the Trading Standards department and consider informing the Fca of your actions.
If appropriate I will also take this matter forward as a complaint to the financial ombudsman service and information commissioners office.
I look forward to hearing from you
me.
hope this helps xx
