i got a letter from a debt collector claiming money for a account which was closed 8 years ago. They now saying a payment of 0.75p was made in 2022 (lie) and they see this payment as last acknowledgment and therefore the account is not statute barred
@TheMetyx 0 seconds ago How long debt collectors can chase me if overpayment of tax credit was for 2014- 2015 tax year , and now we are in 2023 ? Will they chase me a broad (out of UK) ?
A number of years ago i got letter from a debt collection company. When i confirmed who i was the lady on the phone said if it is not paid in full immediately they will send the ballifs to my home to force entry if i am at home or not and take the entire contents including any clothes. All documents. All medication if the is any and inform the doctor not to issue any more medication until they authorise it. I said numer one .. ballifs are illegal in Northern Ireland. The lady said we don't care about laws in Northern Ireland. We will use English laws and we have more authority than the police. I said ok then send them over . Give me a date and time to be at home for them. She said hold line a minute. She returned and said that the debt was now cleared and i owe them nothing
Can you get them to take you to court rather than hound you for months or even years. I want to move in a year and don't want this to be an opportunity for them to start court action without me knowing and I don't want to give them my new address especially if they haven't taken it to the next step in a whole year
Hello, What if a person who is an indian hcitizen took a massive unsecured business loan in the United kingdom and moved back to india without paying? Can they chase in india who does it work?? What legal action could be taken on the person thanks !
stop saying bailiffs can push their way into your hom aside from criminal fines as long as you dont have your car on drive and dont let them in job done
What proof must they provide & what constitutes as “sufficient?”.. my bank sold my credit card debt with zero pre warning. I’ve had a comp chasing me for 3 years. Nothing has happened. Would that suggest they in fact don’t have what they need to force payment? Is it a case of them needing my signature on their contract? They tried to get me to sign up to a payment plan. Which I did try to do, but they never responded to my request. So I left it in their court. No more than texts and calls, which I just ignore. Get the odd letter, just asking me to get in touch with them again. Do I have legal right to continue to ignore?
Hope this helps - look up the difference in a “assignment” and novation, A assignment of debt and selling it to a debt collector does not pass on the obligation or burden of the debt. The debt is extinguished in the purchase of the account by the debt collector and they are basically assuming you will reimburse them for this. For this to happen a novation must be created by law all three parties signed ( thats you, the original creditor and the new owner of the debt, and agreed upon the new terms as its a new contract. Ask them to provide this evidence in their claim of liability against you, Bills of exchange act 1888 section 23 - discusses signature is essential to liability, it is their legal duty to provide this document with your signature along with the original contract as proof of their claim.
If they cant provide this proof with 14 days notice, inform them they should close the account any further attempt to contact you will be viewed as a attempt to extort for their financial gain ,the fraud act of 2006 points the serious consequences of this action, if this is ignore you can then file a complaint with the FCA and financial ombudsman stating the lack of evidence they have provided. The power is in your hands, they have a burden of proof to show their claim of liability against you.
@@Tanyacooks410 thank you so much. It’s been over three years now. I just ignore the calls, the letters. The frequency has dropped right off. Threatened with a visit from a collection agency. I knew that it had to do with the burden. So made sure I never signed anything. I did speak with them at the start. But I was actually very ill at the time & talked about the debt, said the debt was with Bank Of Ireland, & was unaware of it being sold. But never claimed responsibility or signed anything in regards to my relationship them. I’d heard that they need 6 documents, including a colour copy of our driving license/passport. Thank you.
@@NarcBoxTheory yes best to deal with them direct now, you have no reason to hide from them. Please search up the topics i mentioned and gain an understanding of it yourself and it will give you the confidence to deal with them. Make sure to have everything in writing only, no phone calls this is so you have evidence to provide to the FCA if they ignore your lawful requests for evidence of liability or deny they legally need to provide it which would be false obviously. You hold the power in this situation as you are a relevant party and they need your agreement to gain reimbursement from you. All the best, if get stuck put a comment here and i will reach out to you. 👍🏻

Starting getting letters after 13 years what should I do ?
Can you get them to take you to court rather than hound you for months or even years.

@@Tanyacooks410 thank you so much. This gives me a lot of peace. I presume I’m better grabbing the bull by the horns rather than ignoring?
