I have a company chasing for a credit card debt which is dated 2003 can they still collect and chase for this debt, this is the first that I have heard about this for over 6 years.
Dear Customer,thank you for using Just AnswerIt depends on the statute of limitationsIf there is an executary title ( enforcement order)the statute of limitations is 30 yearsAny interest you may have to pay on that debt however has a statute of limitations of 3 years, so that you will have to pay interest only from 2009 on.If an enforcement order does not exist however the statute of limitations is only three years and they cannot collect this debt any more.I hope I was able to helpIf this is the case please click accept so I get creditThanksBestC.

I have received a further letter the company chasing are a debt collection agency, they have sent me a copy of the original agreement which is dated April 2003 - but this is the first time in over 6 years that I have heard from them, there is no enforcement order and it is just the debt collection company trying to collect the credit card debt, are they able to do this or does the 3 year statute of limitations apply and can I quote this to them so that they will stop chasing me for the debt.
Dear Customer,the statute of limiations is three yearsThe three years begin at the moment the credit card company writes to you and tells you that you ought to pay your debt, or from the moment you agreed that you ought to pay.
I have not heard from them until this month, the last correspondence was over 5-6 years ago can they chase for the debt ?
Dear Customer,it depends on waht you agreed upon when the debt ought to be paid backIf there is a fixed date the statute of limitations begins from that date on and ends 3 years later
I do not recall agreeing anything with them and have not entered into any communication with them since 2006 and until now have not heard nothing from them at all - am I right in thinking that they cannot make me now pay the debt?
Dear Customer, normally you get bills every month, and if you are overdrawn you are asked to payIf you have gotten a bill the statute of limitaions begins from the time you get the bill
Thank you, I have not received a bill in over 6 years or any communication from them until this month.
o.k
So does this mean that they cannot chase for payment as over 3 years have passed ?
Dear Customer,ifyou never heard from them once and they did never until today write to you I am of the opinion that they cannot chase for the debts
