Capquest..texting on old HBOS card debt well statute barred

[jaycee113]

I had a similar experience.

 

I received a text from Arrow Global which was rather vague.

 

 I phoned the number - only to be answered by Crapquest! (I ascertained that Crapquest had been bought by Arrow Global).

 

It was explained to me that the reason for contact was a debt to HBOS arising from a credit card for a sum in excess of £6000.

 

Since I have never held an account with HBOS I asked further questions only to be told that default notice was served in 2003.

 

At this point I burst out laughing! I pointed out that even if the debt were mine it is statute barred with bells on!

 

I was then put on hold for nearly five minutes before the guy came back on the phone to tell me that the debt is statute barred and that I did not need to pay it!

 

Totally unbelievable!

Seems like capquest are sending out 10000 of these texts on statute barred debts, but of course as most people think a DCA is a bailiff, most will blindly pay them 

 

Well donef
