Debt Collectors allowed to force entry?

Hi Calibrax,

Everything has been signed as if it were my girlfreind - i've just been doing all the leg-work! If it hadn't been for this forum and my research, she would have buckled and paid!

Cheers

Looking forward to the next installment

I'd stick to my guns on this one for sure.

Hiya CannyJock!!

Good to hear from you - shall I send the letter you suggested?? i.e. "I refer you to my letter dated dd/mm/yyyy where I confirmed that this matter is concluded and any further communication will be regarded as harrasment, and the relevent statutory bodies notified, etc etc etc"

How to word the above better?!?

Thanks in advance

Have no actual evidence that this goes on but have heared of plenty of anecdotal evidence to suggest that cutting and pasting/ photoshopping has gone on.

If you receive a 'summons' please check it carefully for the following

1. Check the envelope, that it has come from the County Court
2. Check that the form has the stamp of the court.

If the frank on the envelope is that of the DCA then all they have done is downloaded the pdf file from the courts website, filled it in, and sent it to you as a scare tactic, it is in no way a correctly served summons and is only useful to use the reverse to write your shopping list on

It is actualy illegal to suggest or pretend that a letter or demand has come from a court, you will know for sure if a summons is from the court as it will ask you to return your response to the court address.

As someone said the longer this drags on the better for you as this debt will soon become staute barred under the limitations act and then regardless of whether the debt is yours or not then it will become unenforceable

I would might need to correct my spelling of harassment/harrassment/harassment/bothering people though

Any references to appropriate legislation give them a preview of the basis of your legal position, which in this case seems fairly concrete to me. They can't argue that they have complied.
