CAPQUEST help

Hi all,
Hoping you can give me some advice.
Received a letter from Capquest chasing a debt from MBNA. Amount of £1948 but letter says they will accept payment of £588 but has to be paid within 3 months.
Now I do recall having a debt with MBNA but I was young and silly at the time and I'm 90% sure I haven't had any correspondence with them in over 6 years.
What steps can I take here? Do I go straight in with the statute barred or request any info regarding the debt?
I have literally just been accepted for a credit this last month after many years of bad credit rating and joined credit reference agency. Find it strange alll of a sudden chasing a debt.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I'd go straight in with the statute barred letter and see what reaction that gets.
They most likely know it's SB, but are hoping to score off you.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings, and Bankruptcy and living with it boards.

Thanks for your reply sourcrates.
Sorry I'm new here. Is there a good template letter on this site to use?
