    does having no CCJ strengthen my case?

    If there had been a CCJ, then the debt could not have been statute barred.

    Just asking a quick question here - is 'process sever' an actual job? Is somebody employed to serve papers? I'm wondering whether capquest would have hand delivered the papers to make it look more official.

    If there was a 6 year period during which you didn't either:

    1) Acknowledge the debt in writing.
    2) Make a payment towards the debt.

    Then the debt will be statute barred.

    The debt will still technically exist, but CapQuest or anyone else would not be entitled to bring legal proceedings against you, and the fact that the debt is statute barred would be a defence against any that they might try. Including bankruptcy proceedings.

    Seconded. :)

    Jayne: CapQuest are making a habit of misusing SDs, so depending on the outcome it might be an idea to report them to the OFT.

    I assume National Debtline advised you to get the statutory demand set aside? If so, then a few people here or on other forums have managed to claim costs for doing so against the DCA. Might be worth thinks about...
