Could do with some help and advice please
9yrs ago I screwed up my finances for reasons Id rather not go into. Im in the process of sorting out remaining issues.
One of the accounts that i stuffed up was with Jacamo, The debt has since gone onto Cabots along with one other liability.
I was today contacted by Cabot's by phone regarding the Jacamo account. I have not offered any payment declining to acknowledge any liability for the debt.
The DCA tell me that i am right in pointing out that the debt would normally be statute barred, however they claim that a Scottish Court Decree was obtained in relation to this account in 2016.
I asked them to provide me details of the Decree and said once I have verified what they are telling me is accurate i may discuss the matter further.
I received an email shortly after with the details.below

Cabot reference - *****633

This somewhat surprised my as I was listed on the electoral roll and very easy to find throughout this period yet never received a summons to attend court.
I have not received any details of this judgement from the courts.
There is no listing of the Decree against my credit file with Experian, Equifax, Transunion or Crediva.
Its my understanding that all decrees are listed and passed on the CRAs
Is it possible that a decree has been obtained in the first place?
If a decree was obtained, how likely is it not to be recorded or misfiled ?
If a decree was obtained would it be enforceable after 05 08 2022?
If the decree was not obtained how likely would it be that they could still pursue me for the liability?
Many Thanks in advance for any help and advice on how to move forward with this matter
