I now have copies of old letters

from Matt (mattyc@ntlworld.com)
Further to my previous questions and comments, I am now in possession of the correspondence which the solicitors say mean that ‘Contact’ with me had been made. All the letters were sent to an address at which I was not resident. Following is a brief summary:

5/8/1998 – Initial contact letter from Experto Credite explaining debt 18/8/1998 – Letter from Experto Credite saying that Representative will call in the next dew days 1/9/1998 – Letter from Experto Credite saying that representative, giving name this time, will call next week. 16/9/1998 – Letter from Solicitors threatening court action within 7 days. 25/11/1998 – Letter from solicitors saying that county court proceedings will happen in 72 hours. 25/5/1999 – Letter from Experto Credite saying that they have ‘Today’ instructed solicitors to commence proceedings in the High Court.

Then nothing until 13th October 2000 at my current address a letter being the same as the initial one above sent on 5/8/1998.

I have asked them if any proceedings took place and why there was a six month gap between the letters saying court action was starting. I have also asked for copies of ALL other correspondence after 25th May 1999 as there seemingly must have been some if, as they say, they were in contact with me.

My impression is that the letter sent on 13th October 2000 proves that no contact had been made at the previous address otherwise why were they sending the initial letter again. Also, I have found out through a family member that they had written in March this year to an address elsewhere at which I have never lived and despite several replies, telephone calls and a visit, did no believe the occupiers. It seems odd that when I asked for ALL correspondence first time that none of these occurrences were sent. Again, in my mind, proof that NO CONTACT had been made prior to 11th February 2000 and therefore the 6 year rule comes into play.

What do you think?
