Large numbers of statue barred debt re-appearing

[PeteT]

Afternoon

 

 

Reading through the forums again after a bit of a break as a friend has recently been contacted by Aktiv Capitalover a debt from the 90s

 

He got a loan as a fresh faced 18 year old, lost his job and it defaulted he got a CCJ. Now some 10 years or so on he's received a letter about it.

I don't have any more details other than the loan was taken out in about 1995 (based on his age) defaulted probably a year later add the CCJ was maybe the same year or maybe 97 (All definiately more than 6 years ago)

 

I did briefly read that a debt will not be statue barred if a CCJ was gained and that the debt a could potentially be collected on ad finitum.

 

 

Could someone point me in the right direction on this?

If the creditor hasn't enforced the CCJ within six years they would have to reapply to the court to do so....and have very good reasons as to why.

Strangely enough I was contacted by lewis this week over a stat barred debt from 1999. I soon dealt with them

They are all so desperate for cash at the mo, they dont care if its SB, already paid in full, anything, they will still go for it,even if the only thing they have is a name/address
