Thanks for all your replies,
i havent made a single payment to them since the one i made in december 2004
as early the next year i had to stop working due to ill health
and had to go on benefits so never had the money to pay them anything.
So it is deffo statue barred then for a couple of years at least,
cant beleive they have only just started sending me these letters this year.
Will give me great pleasure in sending them the statue barred letter
but will have to see if they do leave me alone now.
I checked on noddle and i cant see anything showing up on there.
Will keep you informed if anything else happens.
Thanks for all your help
