Interesting stuff, thai you guys! You're all very helpful. I will of course be keeping an eye on this thread and letting you all know if I hear anything more

Or is it a new tactic?, Perhaps they're just clutching at straws

Have you heard of this kind of reply before?

Thank you! Honours Student Loans are chasing it, at least thats what the headed paper says..

What does everyone make of this ? It's a reply to my recent Statute Barred Letter to Honours Student Loans for a Loan taken out in 1994 Basically they are stating my Statute Barred claim is void because I haven't informed them of any changes of Addresses I've had, is this true? Do they have a case? Do I ignore the letter or reply? I'm guessing quite a few people would have received identical letters.. Thanks

Collection agency Eos Solutions UK Plc For and old account of mine with South East Water, I made the last payment was made on 13/03/2009 (I left the property very shortly after) which is 5 years, 6 months ago. Is this debt statute barred? or am I six months short? Many thanks

Hi Very interesting stuff! Does the the above (first letter) apply to debt collectors attempted recovery of a Bank overdraft? "If a period of 6 years elapsed without a payment or written acknowledgement of the debt then it is Statute Barred and cannot be enforced." Many thanks
