This has worked for me...

"...please note that I am only prepared to communicate with you or your firm in writing. Should it be your intention to arrange a "doorstep call", please remember that there is only an implied license under English Common Law for certain people to visit me on my property without express permission; the postman and people asking for directions etc (Armstrong v. Sheppard and Short Ltd [1959] 2 Q.B. per Lord Evershed M.R.). Please therefore take note that I revoke license under English Common Law for you, or your representatives to visit me at my property and if you do so without my permission, you will then be liable to damages for a tort of trespass. You would also be conspiring in a trespass if you sent someone to visit me nevertheless."

Hey thanks for that Nob! I sent them a letter telling them to 'sod off'.

Should i be concerned that since i sent my Statute Barred letter on 20th Oct that i have not had any correspondence from them? I mean, i know i should be grateful that i've heard nothing, but is this the norm for Mackenzie Hall?

This is definately normal for Mackenzie Hall. They are very good at ignoring correspondence. Have you had a ny phone calls yet? Because while you're in the letter writing mood I would advise you to write and tell them you will only communicate in writing, there is a template somewhere. I started getting increasingly "pleasant" phone calls from a surprisingly "sweet & helpful Scottish lady" when I started standing up for myself.
Yes I was being sarcastic. Public decency prevents me from saying what I really feel!;)

If you've not heard anything, take that as good news. If they were to chase you for payment after you informed them the debt was statute barred, they would be in breach of the legislation. They will probably sell it on to another DCA at some point though, so you may need to send the statute barred letter again to the next lot that contact you.

This is Mackenzie Hall. They'll probably find someone with a similar name and harass them!
