BC statute barred

[Nottingham2013]

Hi it seems Fred's/BC are intent on taking me to court over a debt which is statute barred and have I have stated this too them but they have created a fictitious payment and sent me numerous letters which is technically harassment and attempted fraud. If they do issue proceedings is there any recourse to claim expenses and/or compensation from these cranks?

Don't wait for their claims through a county court - Act Now.
I suggest you read other threads in here for letters such as PROVE IT, CPR, OTHERS.

Re: BC statute barred

If I send a CCA request will that prevent them from taking action until they have provided it? They seem to be wanting to issue proceedings before the default date, if I can delay them till the default falls off my file in a couple of weeks they may just give up.

Any ideas guys? They say they are going to take action on the 15th and the default date is 2 weeks later. If I can stall them for 2 weeks the combination of it being statute barred and the default no longer on my file should see them off!

Re: BC statute barred

Remember!! It is up to BC to prove that the payment was made by YOU.

You do not have to prove it wasn't made

I would ask them for proof

1. When the payment was made
2. Where it was made
3. By whom was it made
4. How payment was made

I would check the date they allege the payment was supposedly made as the Leeds Leeches are so stupid I apparently made a bank payment on a Sunday hundreds of miles away from where I live in a town with a similar sounding name

Re: BC statute barred

Thanks ODC, I know it's up to them to prove it I just do t want the embarrassment and hassle of going to court. If I delay them past the default date hopefully they'll give up!
