    I don't know if you have sorted anything out about this, and i can't advise you on dealing with your OR, but i do know this company and i also know that if they have bought your debt they will not have a signed consumer credit agreement so you can just download a cca request template letter from these forums and send it off with a £1 postal order headed "i do not acknowledge any debt to your company",

    They cant enforce the debt without an agreement so it blocks any further action, legally.

    That should get rid of them, it worked for me.

    The debt is covered by the bankruptcy, so they cannot legally take action anyway. ;):)

    yea, i gathered that from what's been said already, however the op seems in some uncertainty as to how to proceed in dealing with the matter through his/her bankruptcy so i just suggested a simple way they could handle it themselves. ;)

    what a lot of them try to do is to get you to do
    is to acknowledge the dept, which then means they can try
    and get there money from you even though you are BR
    Because after 6 years there is nothing they can do,
    you will also find when it is getting to your 6 years
    point they will try it on again
    I am getting phone calls even on a Sunday :eek:

  • Neither :) you send a copy of your bankruptcy order or your discharge letter, give them your OR's details and tell them that it is ileagal to hassle you and you will report them to Trading Standards if they continue to do so and to contact the OR if they want to make a claim on your estate. Simples!! :D

    Well, the bankruptcy is all that is needed.

    Getting into any other discussion/dispute with the former creditor is unnecessary and will simply confuse the issue.
