Hello
This is my first post to any kind of forum and I am desperately hoping someone may be able to help me.
My niece called me today to say she had noticed a letter had been posted to the back of my house (so not through the front door of the house where the post is delivered/where you'd knock the door) but delivered by hand, through the back door which leads to a unused storage room i rarely go in. She opened and read the letter for me and it was a statutory demand delivered by hand from BV Legal on behalf on Lowells, who have combined three debts from very dark days a long long time ago.
It was posted 18th March but I've only seen it today. So I am well passed the 18 days to apply to set it aside. I don't know what to do .... i really don't. I do not want to be made bankrupt!!!!! After the very dark days, five years later I just about have my life back together having just got a permanent job last week. I'm so scared now .. this letter has come out of nowhere. I haven't had any visits or previous correspondence from them. And is it ok that they wouldn't even post it in my front door?
They have listed three debts and i wondered if they could possibly be statute barred (which is a term i have literally found out today!) and in the list they have said the default dates are 17th August 2009, 17 July 2009 and 10 April 2009. I can't prove it because i don't have any records but i wouldn't mind betting they were even before this ...
I don't know what to do ... on any front please help if you can
