  • Thanks WhenIAm64.

    [UPDATE] I've had an 'official' response.

    "We've acknowledged your recent communication and due to the information provided have made the decision to close this account on our files and return it to Hoist Finance Uk Holdings 2 Limited.

    We will pass any relevant documentation or information you have provided onto our client for them to deal with accordingly.

    Our client can be contacted at [....The same bloody address as us because we're the same bloody company]"


    Ok guys, is this just a case of sending the same exact letter to the same exact company with just the company name replaced with Hoist?

    What do they achieve by doing this?

    Thank you.

    That's probably the end of it.
  • Is it worth me playing along and just sending one more letter to 'the other' company Hoist. I wouldn't be surprised if Hoist keeps sending me letters until I send the SB.

    Even though we all know the situation and it's absolutely ridiculous.

    From the National Debtline website

    "Statute-barred does not mean the debt no longer exists. In some circumstances, the creditor, or a debt collection agency, can still try and recover money from you. You can choose to pay if you wish. Even if the debt is statute-barred, it may still be on your credit reference file. This may make it harder for you to get further credit."

    So not ridiculous. Just not economic.
    Unlike some here, I am not omniscient. If I am wrong correct me. I won't take offence.

    The law is like an ocean - have a swim but don't drown.
