Joined: 27 Jul 2008 Posts: 2 | Hi, Following a debtors petition, I was declared bankrupt in November 2003 under the old regime. I was discharged in April 2005. Just this last week, I have been contacted by a debt recovery agency for one of the debts included in my bankruptcy order. I have dealt with them before in June 2004 and January 2005 regarding one of my other debts (also included in the order). I have written to the agency confirming my bankruptcy and the official receiver's contact details for the third time. I've also written to the official receiver enclosing copies of all communications for completeness. My understanding is that I cannot be pursued for something which was included in my bankruptcy order even after being discharged. Is this correct? My second question is - who regulates debt recovery agencies? Thanks in advance, Reading... |

It is a criminal offence to harasss debtors so keep details of when they contact you. Either contact your local trading standards or contact the OFT direct. This thread may be of help to you.
