Re: Barclaycard reply to CCA request letters
If the debt is over 6 years old it becomes Statute Barred, meaning thta's it. Over. Done and dusted. However, the 6 years starts from when you last corresponded/acknowledged there was a debt, so it can reset itself depending on what happens.
And please do remember that even if the debt is declared unenforceable, it won't make it go away, and it won't do your credit file any favours. And following the Carey case, there is now much more room for manoevre with regards to re-constituting agreements.
Unenforceability can only be used as a defence, not as a basis for bringing a claim, so in order to get a debt declared unenforceable, you have to rely on Barclaycard (or whoever) actually taking you to court before you can bring it into play, and then it may not work anyway, depending on when the CCA was taken out etc etc.
