Discontinuation Of Debt Claim

smalandcute

Hi all,

I received a letter from the debt company dealing with an old debt stating that the claimant has instructed them to discontinue the claim. (They were looking to get a CCJ against me) In the letter I received the Notice of Discontinuance from the courts.

Debt Company are saying I still owe the monies even though the claim has been discontinued and a Google search doesn't confirm if the monies are still owed or not. Do I still owe the monies or is this a tactic of the debt company still trying to make me pay when the claimant has decided to stop the claim?

More information needed here.

Who was the claimant ?

Who are the "debt company" ?

Any reason given for the discontinuance ?

What type of debt is/was it, eg, credit card/loan/catalogue account/other ?

When did you last acknowledge the debt in writing or by payment ?

Was there a clear 6 years between date of default and the date legal was started ?

Makes no difference if they say you owe the money or not, the only way to force you to pay has now been discontinued, so they can moan all they like, there`s pretty much nothing they can do now.

Generally speaking if you've received a notice of discontinuance then that's the end of the matter. It's an admission that they can't enforce it.
