debt collectors

[steve1651]

is debt after seven years can this still be collected by debt collectors that pester by phone

[PrinceRainie]

I dont believe they can.....however it wont stop them giving it a go. The original lender/person you owed the money too will have sold the debt on to an agency.

Don't forget the 6 year time limit starts from your last acknowledgement of the debt, not when you took the debt on.

[Loosehead]

there is no limit as long as the existance of the debt is estabished at least every 6 years. In reality they have probably sold on the debt as suggested above.

A debt company should normaly be banned from chasing the debt if you or they have made contact for 6 years and you have made no payments for 6 years. seek advise for CAB.

Sorry that should have said if you have NOT had contact for 6 years soz
