The joy of the Lowell group

Hi all, recently been trying to get my credit back on track after 16 years of the soon to be controlling ex wife's head in the sand attitude.

I've recently paid off 3 Llowell debts and they now show as settled on my Equifax credit report.

Llowell has written to me about another debt (overdrawn bank account). I wrote back thinking this was over 6 years old and statute barred, however they have written and said it became a default in 2008. My question is it doesn't appear on my credit report so are they telling porkies and trying it on?

I intend to write back asking for proof from HSBC but wanted to ask here too.

Thanks in advance.

  • Get proof from them I had them chasing for an 02 bill which I was sure was over 6 years old, I hadn't had a contract with 02 since 2002 (which I thought was paid). They claimed I'd paid £1 in 2008, it actually turned out that the debt wasn't mine but my mother's and turned out that the whole amount was paid off in 2008!
    Total Debt: £4610.75
    Debt Free Date: May 2016.
