Response to Halifax Challenge

from Eleanor Scott (eleanor.scott@btinternet.com)
I think this is referring to a court case coming up in Leeds County Court. An unnamed ex borrower is fighting the shortfall claim against him using the Limitation Act, claiming that the lender has 6 not 12 years in which to pursue for the alleged 'debt' (see under Repossession, 6/12 year rule, this web site). This issue has still to be tested in the Court of Appeal, so it would be useful if this one would go 'all the way'.

The ex borrower's solicitor is Joseph Aaron of Ilford. (Joseph Aaron and Co, City Gate House, 399-425 Eastern Avenue, Gants Hill, Ilford. Tel 0208 5180333, fax 0208 5184560.) He is a chartered insurance practitioner, so is an insurance expert as well as a solicitor.

It will be very interesting to see how this case develops. With any luck, Mr Aaron will also be taking an informed interest in the MIG scandal soon as well.
