Capquest Statute Barred

Rexyphil

Hi All,

Does registering on the Capquest website restart any statute barred debt? I have received a letter this morning chasing an account owed to Arrow Global, who I have never heard of. The letter says to see more details I need to log on to the Capquest portal, which I am reluctant to do.

Any help gratefully received!

Many thanks.

The answer is no, but I don't see why they can't put full details in the letter.

If 'registering' involves giving a phone number or something they don't already have , then I'd just send a prove-it letter.

Thank you - Is there a link to a prove it letter on here?

This is the right advice, just make sure you don't give them any info they don't already have.

Found the prove it letter, will send by recorded delivery today. I read something that said I shouldn't sign it, is this the case?

Thanks again!

Bit of an urban myth - people get nervous about dodgy debt collectors 'lifting' a signature on to an agreement.

Personally I'd sign
