    Yes I agree it does look like they are trying to "sneak it in before the 6 year limit" and it becomes statute barred.
    The op has been making payments, so it won’t become statute barred.
    I have been reading about the statute barred thing but as has been said I've not not paid anything on the account, I haven't even refused or ignored the offer of a payment plan. Which is why I think this move has been motivated a little out of spite as this seems a little unprofessional for a solicitors to be doing. 
    Your original post said “I have been paying payments off where I could.” 
    Any payment towards the debt or acknowledgment of it will prevent it becoming statute barred for another 6 years.

    Is the payment plan you are offering reasonable?
    An answer isn't spam just because you don't like it......
  • Hi digger dude. It's a £150 debt and I've offered them £10 a month. They said no and pursued the CCJ claim anyway.
