  • It's not entirely clear but it seems to be saying the £200 wasn't necessary. We should ask for it back xxx and ask them not to send you further letters / statements etc.

          • Okay, well my letter writing brain seems to have stayed in last week, just realised this pile of poop has taken me almost an hour to write lol... anyway, hopefully it serves as a starting point even though it isn't the most eloquant.

            Dear Ms Gerald
            REF: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

            Thank you for your letter dated xxxxxxx October 2018. I am grateful that you have accepted my contention that your
            county court claim issued 6th November 2016 was already out of time pursuant to the Limitations Act 1980.



            We continue to disagree that the £1 payment made in 2011 was a payment towards the account, as it was not, and was a statutory fee paid for a formal request under the Consumer Credit Act 1974, however I am willing to accept that the payment was erroneously applied to the account, and then removed, by a debt collection agency and the request never passed on ( indeed, I never received a response). In any case I appreciate that you have made efforts to investigate my contentions have responded to my letter dated xxxxx August 2018.

            You are aware that the Notice of Discontinuance in the case was issued on xxxxxx September 2018, however as agreed I made payment of the agreed sum of £200 in settlement by bank transfer on xxxxx 2018. Your letter states that the account will be closed entirely and that the settlement offered upon discontinuance of the claim is no longer required, due to the confirmation from the original creditor that the account was indeed time barred and unenforceable, and I would therefore appreciate it if you could return the £200 to me. You can do this by cheque, made payable to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, and sent to my address detailed above.

            In addition you state that I should not receive any further contact from Cabot or your agents in regards the account. I received a letter from Cabot dated xxxxxxxxx 2018 which included a 'Statement of Account' and requested full payment of £686.19. It appears this is an automated letter of some kind, however I am sure you can understand this has caused me concern, as I had already made the settlement payment of £200 agreed, and considered the matter at an end.

            Once you have made the refund of the sum paid in settlement, it would be much appreciated if you can ensure that my data is removed entirely from Cabot's systems, so that I do not continue to receive automated letters which simply serve to cause concern.


            Kind regards
