  • Cabot chasing old debt with Tomlin order

    Apologies for posting twice but this seemed the more appropriate forum.

    Over 6 years ago, with the help of legalbeagles , my partner and I resolved a large debt with Marlin/restons. A court claim was issued which we responded to and was stayed. While it was stayed we agreed a settlement managed through a Tomlin order. This was all in 2014.

    Over the last couple of years Cabot have started chasing this debt again. To be honest, I've just completely ignored the periodic letters as we have actively dealt with this. Cabot have now referred this to a debt collection company. I guess the size of the debt means they think it's worth chasing. I know this is permanently stayed through a Tomlin order but my questions are:

    1. does the statute of limitations apply? I know the clock stops when a claim is issued but the original claim, settlement and Tomlin order all took place over 6 years ago so does a new clock start?

    2. what's the simplest way to nip this in the bud? Do we just send them a copy of the Tomlin order or should I just continue to ignore and let them waste their time and resources. Could we even make a counter claim against them for trying to claim money on a permanently stayed claim?

    Thanks in advance
