The document is a letter addressed to a creditor disputing the validity of a debt, claiming it is statute barred due to no payments or acknowledgment made in over six years. The sender cites the Limitation Act 1980 and requests evidence from the creditor if they believe the debt is not statute barred. Additionally, it references guidelines from the Financial Conduct Authority regarding the recovery of such debts and requests written confirmation that no further action will be taken.

How do you prove a debt is time-barred?

Consider talking to an attorney. Show up on the day of your case and tell the court the debt is time-barred. To prove this, bring a copy of the debt information from the collector or anything that shows the date of your last payment.

What happens if I ignore Lowell?

If you continually ignore the debt collection attempts, Lowell Solicitors or its clients may take legal action and seek a County Court Judgement (CCJ) against you. A CCJ is a court order that requires you to repay the debt, and it can have serious consequences for your credit score and future borrowing.

Can I be chased for a statute barred debt?

Statute-barred does not mean the debt no longer exists. In some circumstances, the creditor or a debt collection agency can still try to recover money from you. You can choose to pay if you wish.

Do I legally have to pay Lowell?

The debt collector may file a lawsuit against you if you ignore the calls and letters. If you then ignore the lawsuit, this could lead to a judgment and the collection agency may be able to garnish your wages or go after the funds in your bank account.

What does barred by statute mean?

Meaning of statute barred in English used to describe a legal action that cannot be brought to court because too much time has passed: The judge dismissed the claim on the ground that it was statute barred.

What happens if you ignore a collections letter?

If you do not respond, they may take legal action which could result in fees, charges and interest being added to what you owe. It could also result in a County Court Judgement (CCJ) which may impact your credit score and could lead to action such as requesting that a bailiff visits you at your home.
