Cabot/Ruthbridge/Capital One

[Sirbob00]

Just a quick question regarding Cabot.  

 

I believe it’s for a Capital One Credit Card taken out December 2010.

 No payments made since April 2014.  

 

There is a default registered on my credit file dated October 14, 2014.  

 

I’ve ignored all the standard letters from them regarding the debt but is it likely they can still take me to court regarding the debt.  

It’s for £568.  

Thank you.

[Sirbob00]

Thank you.  I was trying to find out if the statute bar was from the missed payment or from the default date but all I could find is from the date a creditor had cause of action but I’m unsure of what that actually means.

[Sirbob00]

Hi.  
 

yes I informed Cabot that we’d moved and the correct address shows on the credit file.

 

Can I just ask.  I was trying to find where I’d read after the default expiring 14 days after the date it’s recorded.  Is this correct.  So the recorded date is the 14th October but they would have until the 28th October to make a claim.

[Sirbob00]

I’ve received a letter today from Cabot Financial saying that as they’ve been unable to reach an agreement with me they’ve passed my account to a company called Ruthbridge.

 

It’s regarding an old Capital One credit card which doesn’t show on Credit Karma, Clearscore or Equifax and Experian has my credit score at 998.

 

I believe the last payment was in April 2014 and I wrote to them in Jan 2020 to advise of our correct address apart from that I’ve never called or acknowledged any letters.

 

Has anyone heard of Ruthbridge as it’s a company I’ve never heard of before.

 

Many Thanks

[Sirbob00]

Do I send the SB letter to Ruthbridge?

 

Apologies I hadn’t realised I already had a topic open.  Thank you for merging.

Sorry just a quick question before I do the letter.

 

Do I ignore the fact that the letter from Ruthbridge says that I must contact them and not Cabot.

 

Thank you

[Sirbob00]

Yes the address for Ruthbridge is different to that of Cabot so I’ll send to Ruthbridge 

[Sirbob00]

And I’m ok to sign this letter.

[Sirbob00]

I have.  Says sign or print digitally but I had to type the letter out due to using iPad so wondered if I would just sign normally 

[Sirbob00]

Thank you.

 

I was using my iPad and it wouldn’t let me change anything but I’ve asked my husband and he’s done it on his laptop.  Sorry for being an idiot.  I’ve spent the morning having chemicals pumped into a helmet I’m having to use to fumigate student bedrooms and it’s obviously gone to my head.

[Sirbob00]

I’ve sent off the SB letter first class recorded delivery.  
 

I have just printed my name digitally but was wondering do they have to accept it without my actual signature.  Can they be awkward about it?

[Sirbob00]

I followed the instructions by The Librarian where it says it should be sent recorded delivery 

[Sirbob00]

I received a letter from Ruthbridge today in regards the SB letter I sent.

 

it just says that after liaising with their client (Cabot) the account has been returned to them in order for them to deal with the matters raised.  It also says the account with them has been closed and I’ll receive no further communication from Ruthbridge.

 

Then it finishes by saying that our client will be in touch with you shortly regarding the issues raised.

 

So now I have to wait for Cabot to get in contact with me.

[Sirbob00]

Brilliant.  Thank you.  I’ll update with what happens next.
