I received a demand for payment of money today in relation to a 7 year old catalogue debt that I cannot even?
remember accruing.

I rang them but the company were not very helpful. What on earth can I do? Surely 7 years is not a reasonable time in which to demand payment.

I live in Scotland.

Thanks in advance.

don,t pay it! if you haven,t made a payment in 6 years or more,they can,t do anything about it.don,t even contact them,and throw letters in the bin.

A nice response would be to the effect "Please prove to me that I owe this debt. Do you have an original order form I submitted or something?" You see, the burden of proof is on them in a court of law. This will prevent a scam; further, it will be obvious upon you seeing the original order form if it is your handwriting, what it was that was ordered, etc.

I don't know Scottish law, but here in the US a business has to keep all business records for the entire length an account is open if the account has not been paid off. Yes, it would be a pain to find in the storage room, but I would still have your order form.

Besides, 7 years was just about 2000 ... have you heard of the ability to order from a catalog without prepayment in the last decade? You should remember this debt if you incurred it, since it is so recent, in the long time scope of things.

If you think you owe it then pay them,If it is somthing you are shure you didnt buy,then tell them were to stick there bill.

Write to the company asking them for verification of that what you supposed to have bought, before you do this are you sure that you memory is so good seven years is a long time


K-LA.
Maybe it's a scam.

I always thought it got written off after a certain amount of time,i`ve been left up to my bloody eyeballs too so i phoned the CCCS and they are a charity that give advice for free,a bit like CAB,here`s there number if it`s of any interest 0800 138 1111.They did tell me that you can pay back like £1 month and the company have to accept it if your not working,as it shows your not ignoring the debt and paying something to clear it.


deadman
Debts are normally written off after 5 years, i would just ignore them.

In scotland debts are written off after 5 years and wiped off your record after 6. i would just ignore the letter and ijf possible check you credit report to check and see if it is on it.

Have a word with your nearest Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB): http://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/winnn6/index Keep all correspondence and log any contact from the company. Do not pay anything without getting legal advice.
