old debt
Hi! thought i'd written this last night,but can't find it.....new to this so bear with me.
Basically had a letter from Capquest saying i owed £1000.........i was gobsmacked then recieved one from abbey saying they sold it to this company.Now this was from 1996 and they closed this account and i think this was the overdraft.At this time i was in loads of debt and the largest one was with Abbey who i currently bank with...Where do i stand can they ask for this after all this time.If i knew this debt was outstanding i would have organised a payment plan and cleared it.My poor partner is worried sick as he has nothing to with these debts and doesn't want people turning up on the doorstep...cx

When was the last time you had any communication from Abbey about this? When did you last make a repayment.
If it is over 6 years then the debt is statute barred.0 -
dont worry about it, it's too old a debt now and is written off
