Trustee release letter?

Hi everyone, I had this letter sent to me......
Dear Madam,
I refer to the bankruptcy order made against you on 21st December 2009 and write to inform you that I intend to apply to the secretary of state for Business, Innovation and Skills for my release as trustee. A summary of my receipts and payments as trustee is enclosed for your information.
If you are not already discharged, my release as trustee will have no effect upon the date of your discharge from the bankruptcy.
Has anyone else had a letter like this and what does it mean. It was sent over a month ago now and have heard nothing since.
Not that it matters as I know I was going to be in this for 1 year but does it mean that I will be getting discharged soon?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Not head a thing eversince ?

Skinnyblood,record of your BR falls off the IS site after 3 months of the anniversary of your discharge. You can look up your BR on the London Gazette site as that will always be there. You don't get any letters to say you are discharged it just happens automatically at midnight on the anniversary of your petition. If you want a letter to say you are discharged then ring your old OR and ask politly for a letter, many will send one out to you free of charge. Send it to the firm who are harrasing you with this letter
Quote:Your AddressDate:
Creditor's Name
Address.NOTICE: Pursuit of a debt included in a bankruptcy. Do not ignore this letter. You must cease collection activity IMMEDIATELY.
Dear Sir/Madam
Account No: *****************
You have contacted us regarding the account with the above reference number, which you claim is owed by ourselves.
I would point out that the account was included in my bankruptcy which commenced on <date>.
Consequently, the debt in question is no longer my legal responsibility.
ALL contacts and claims regarding the debt MUST be addressed to the Official Receiver's Office dealing with the case.
My case was XXX of 200X, at <somewhere> County Court, and the address of the Official Receiver is below.
<Address of the OR.>
A copy of the bankruptcy order is enclosed for your convenience.
Please note that the Official Receiver has requested that all future contact from your company regarding these accounts is reported and forwarded to themselves, and that continued contact with myself may result in Official Receiver taking enforcement actions against your organisation.
Please also note that we are familiar with the ‘Office of Fair Trading Debt Collection Guidance’ which states that it is unfair to send demands for payment to an individual when the debt is not due.
In not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonably queried or disputed debt you are using deceptive/and or unfair methods.
Furthermore, ignoring and/or disregarding claims that debts have been settled or are disputed and continuing to make unjustified demands for payment amounts to physical/psychological harassment.
In addition, your continued telephone calls are in breach of the Office of Fair Trading guidelines. If you continue with them after the receipt of this letter an official complaint, together with a log recording the times and frequency of the calls will be passed both to that office and to the Trading Standards office.
This type of debt collection method is contrary to the ‘Administration of Justice Act 1970’ in that it is intended to cause alarm and distress to the recipient. Your methods will not be tolerated. A formal complaint will be submitted to the relevant authorities. This will be relevant to questions of your fitness to hold a licence under the Consumer Credit Act, whether or not it results in a prosecution.
Take further note that continued telephone calls after the receipt of a request not to call may constitute a criminal offence under Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003.
We await your written confirmation that this matter is now closed.
We look forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully
A N Other
With thanks to the lovely Fermi for that. Obviously adjust to suit your needs.
Then have a look at the CRF cleean up sticky and get that sorted as you will less likely be harrassed by other companies.
