Cabot chasing alleged debt 15+ years old

[Beezlewaz]

I have received a letter from Cabot which is in a name I haven't used for at least 15 years. They are alleging I owe money for a career development loan. I don't know what to make of this! Statute barred surely? And why have they suddenly got in touch?

[Beezlewaz]

Sorry I should've said I am wondering how do I respond to this letter? Thanks.

Hi Beez

Welcome to LB

If you haven't made a payment or acknowledged the debt in writing the last 6 years then the debt is statute barred (providing there is no CCJ).

Thank you, I knew nothing about it so definitely haven't made payments. No ccj that I've ever been aware of, have had credit reports over the years and nothing showed up there.
