  • Overtakes letter

    Hello. I received a letter from Overdales stating they had taken over an old debt from Lowell’s. I sent a statute barred letter as I believed this was the case but have received letter today saying last payment on debt was 1/3/2018. It was a Capital One credit card. Long story short was unable to pay and defaulted.
    i have made no payments since and not acknowledged debt since.
    My circumstances now are that I am unable to work due to severe ill health. The debt is mine and my husband has no knowledge of the debt. He has dementia and would become very stressed by this situation. We are entirely dependent on benefits and can barely manage as it is. From what the letter says there is another year to go before debt is statute barred. What powers would Overdales have in terms of recovery as they are threatening further action but do not say what.
    Many thanks in advance for your advice.

      You ask what powers Overdales have. Well, as you will know from your previous threads, they can sue you. If judgment is obtained, details will find their way onto your credit record.. As you know, various means to enforce a judgement are available, including charging orders over property.
