where to begin..I had a letter from DEBT MANAGERS LTD asking for barred money from 12 years ago, a nice! lady I spoke to asked me these questions and said they had got the wrong person and would delete me from there system
that was april then september comes and I get the same letter again and they had passed my details on to Call serve, I did not ring them but sent a letter with a 1 pound postal order for a CCA request with which by Law they had 12 days to respond, they had 2 days to go
today I get a letter they are sending the debt collectors around..funny!
so I rang call serve telling them they are scam artists and that I had sent this letter to them, and that I have proof of signed delivery to there address, they said it had nothing to do with them, they are going to delete me off there system and I had to take it up with DEBT MANAGERS LTD
So I rang DEBT MANAGERS LTD #I told her of the above, she said she did not know what to do, gave me a fake name and said she would put me through to her manager, the phone went dead
does anyone have any advice on what to do next should I ring back up or am I wasting my time, its making my head spin
thanks again to everyone:beer:

I really dont know what you should do, just wanted to bump your thread so some wiser people than me will find it. Good luck, these stupid 'computer said no' problems are the worst to figure out.

Thanks for your reply...yes I have had enough of them today will leave it till monday

Whatever company contacts you for a statute barred debt, they have a legal right to attempt to collect it as the debt still exists, but as it is unenforcable, all that is required is that you send a letter stating that you are aware it is unenforcable and have no intention of paying.
There are some template letters here.
