Lowell Financial - statute barred debt.

[frugal-mum]

I just wanted to share with you what I hope is good news.

 

One of my sons was being pursued by Lowells for a debt that was nearly nine years old and for over £7000

 

.He had ignored the letters as he knew the debt was statute barred but was served with a county court summons.

 

Using the advice given on this forum I put together a defence based on the fact the debt was statute barred

 

. It continued through the court process up till the notice of allocation to small claims track.

 

He then heard nothing as to whether they had paid a hearing fee for a date set later this month.

 

Today he received a letter from Lowell's solicitor Bryan Carter serving him with a Notice of Discontinuance.

 

I am still distrustful as to whether this is genuine but intend to visit the county court to verify this as I would hate to think this was a trick by the solicitors to stop my son attending the hearing and them getting judgement by default.

 

I really hope that this is an end to it .

Sounds about right for Mr C just ring your court and check they have received same......he would not dare issue it and not the court also frugal.

 

Well done

 

Regards

Keep the Notice of discontinuance safely somewhere for a while

Make a complaint about Farter to the SRA too, try and have him disbarred once and for all.
