  • Statute barred ? Or is it ?

    Hi I've just put in my defence for a debt that was from Nov 2004 stating it was now statute barred , the court sent my defence to the solicitor dealing with it . They have now wrote back saying last payment was made in October 2012 and have invited me to withdraw my defence and make a payment plan !!! I have no knowledge of making a payment in 2012 at all , how should I now go forward ? Many thanks in adavance

    Debt is like any other trap, easy enough to get into, but hard enough to get out of.

    It doesn't matter where your journey begins, so long as you begin it...

          I thought is sounded like Carboot Cowboys and their " in house solicitors".

          Is this a Shop Direct Group Catalogue?
          Seen one similar " alleged payment" recently which turned out to be a refund on returned goods.

          Personally if you have the account number I would give the accounts department manager of the company to see if they can confirm or deny MC's claim.

              Would it be worth sending CCA & CPR requests at this stage as well?

                As Charity has said a CCA request is well worth doing ( template in green box above) a £1 statutory fee is payable, use a Postal Order marked " for statutory fee only" on both sides make a copy and keep for your records.
                Send by signed for post check delivery date and signature and print off a copy.
