    How did you send the request for the 30 day debt advice? If you posted it, did you get a free proof of posting certificate or if by email, did you also CC in yourself?

    Just received a reply from DCBL, they’ve reduced the ‘debt’ amount to £85, however the statute of limitations expires today 🎉 
    Am I obliged and/or would it be wise to reply to their correspondence at this point?

    My apologies, didn’t see your message until today. I used the reply form on the website and I’ve received their reply today 👍

    Nope you do nothing
    That's why they have reduced it.
    If you get a claim unlikely then your single defence is as per your thread title.

    OR when its definitely passed email them and tell them its Statute barred

    'Go swivel' time for them!
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
