If you don't want them selling it on, pay it off.
They can't sell a debt that doesn't exist, otherwise they're free to sell it on as they wish.0 -
Is it not stattred barred anymore? they sent it to debt agency in 2011, when it defulted
even the letter they send out every years says you don’t need to do anything, it’s just for information
but when I phone them they say they could sell it on but it’s unlikely they don’t know if they’re will or not.0 -
If it was statute barred, then it remains statute barred.
It's irrelevant to you whether they sell it on or not, as the rules don't change.0 -
How can I find out if it’s started barred?0

Robinson Way are a debt purchaser, so it looks like it was sold a long time ago.
The statements are for information purposes only, and have to be sent to comply with consumer credit act legislation.
If anyone writes to you asking for payment of this debt in future, simply respond with a letter stating that -
"An action founded on tort shall not be brought after the expiration of six years from the date on which the cause of action accrued.
The time to collect on this debt has now passed, and this account is now statute barred, under section 5, Limitation Act 1980".
The onus is on the owner of the debt to prove it isn`t SB, you are not requires to prove anything.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.
