Old Sky debt [scotland]

[kirstyo]

Hi guys

 

I got a random letter through yesterday from a dca saying I owe sky £101,

 

now since I have only had my current sky subscription for six months

and it is fully up to date my assumption is that this relates to an old sky account I had.

 

The last account I had in my name was back when I lived with my mum

and we changed it to her partners name when hd came out so he could get a new customer deal

that I wasn't entitled to

 

so since I moved out of my mums seven years ago

this debt is stat barred if it ever existed at all.

 

Could someone point me in the direction of a statute barred template for Scotland please?

 

I went looking but couldn't find it.

Found it thanks, I must have went right by it when I looked the first time!

Now they have sent a letter back asking me to phone to confirm my details before they will deal with me - I think not! Weird thing is they have my old house number wrong, they have me as living one door up from where I did.

you cant change name on accounts so it sounds as a new account was set up in your mums partners name.

 

but as advised if over 6 years its statute barred then nothing they can do

Sorry yes that's what I meant, I cancelled mine so he could take out an account to get the new customer deal they were offering when high definition came out. I have sent stat barred letter and plan to just ignore this latest letter asking to confirm details unless someone here advises me otherwise.

 

It's definitely statute barred as I havent lived at mums for over six years, statute barred after 5 in scotland. That is if it ever existed in the first place I honestly dont remember ever hearing anything about it before and it's never been on credit file as far as I know.

I will do thanks. I always appreciate the help I get here and will be making a donation if I get money back from my old catalogue which people are helping me with on another thread.
