I have just received a claim from Howard Cohen for an Tesco debt which may be state barred.
If I explain, I received letters from Robinson Way making me aware of this debt earlier in the year, then they threatened me with court action from Howard Cohen. So I wrote to them as I believed the debt was 6 years or more years old and asked them to check. Robinson Way, wrote to tell me that the last payment on the account was 3rd November 2010. I am really sceptical about this but I don't have a way of disproving it.
Anyway, I received a claim this morning in the post. I wonder if the fact that they are claiming interest at the rate of 8% from 2/09/10 is admitting that the 6 years have past ?
How should I proceed on this as I only have 14 days to reply.
Please help
thank you
