How should you respond to these letters?

First, open the letter with the PO Box 140 Normanton WF6 1YA return address and discover what it’s about. Then deal with the situation by contacting the sender.

If the letter is addressed to someone else, tell the sender the ‚Äúperson does not live at this address‚Äù. Just cross out the name on the envelope and write ‚Äònot known at this address’ across the envelope and pop it back in a post box. The sender should update their records once they receive the letter.

You don’t have any obligation to tell the sender anything else if they ask you to!

That said, reach out to the sender if the letter is addressed to you. Get in touch with the sender and deal with the problem head-on. Ask the sender to ‚Äòprove’ the debt is yours!

Don’t admit, sign or pay anything to the sender until they prove you owe the money!

Do you owe money on a debt?

As mentioned, ask the sender to prove the debt is yours by sending a ‚Äòprove the debt’ letter to them. Whether the letter is from the lender or a debt collection agency, dealing with the situation early makes for a better outcome.

Don’t just take their word for it! Whether it’s the original lender or a debt collector, they must provide hard proof you owe the money.

In short, they must send you an authenticated copy of the agreement/contract you signed.

What happens if the sender can’t prove the debt is yours?

You shouldn’t have to fork out any money to the sender if they can’t provide you with proof the debt is yours. Moreover, the sender should stop contacting and if they don’t, it could be seen as harassment which is against the law!

Is the debt statute-barred?

Debt collection agencies often buy older debts and then try to collect on them. Write back to the sender telling them the debt is statute-barred if it’s at least six years old because it falls under the Limitation Act.

The sender should stop contacting you although they may still ask you to pay which you can refuse to do. Plus, courts won’t hear cases about statute-barred debts so you won’t get a CCJ!

However, although the debt is unenforceable, it still exists. In short, the debt would still remain on your credit history.

Also, there are criteria attached to whether a debt is statute-barred or not which I’ve listed here:

• First, you mustn’t have paid anything to pay off the debt in the last six year 
• Second, the creditor hasn’t got a CCJ against you over the debt during that period
• Third, you never admitted owing the money or contacted the creditor in the last six years

What happens when the debt is proven?

You should try to negotiate a fair, and affordable repayment plan with the creditor if they prove the debt is yours.

If needed, contact one of the debt charities for advice before you do anything else. Their advice could be invaluable when you’re dealing with debt issues and finding it hard to get back on track.

Debt collection agencies and creditors must allow you the time to assess your situation. It means you have the time to sort out the best options to resolve the problem.

Should you ignore letters from PO Box 140 Normanton?

No. Even though you may not recognise the return address or think it’s junk mail, don’t bin the letter. Instead, check out who sent it by opening the letter. Maybe it contains important banking information that needs your attention.

Ignoring a letter about an unpaid debt doesn’t mean the problem goes away. In fact, the problem just gets harder to resolve! Moreover, you’d just keep receiving these letters until you deal with the situation.
