Posted - 19 February 2011 : 20:40:11 Hello - I had a bankruptcy petition against me dismissed because the creditors didn't attend the hearing and the debt was statute barred. However, the creditors have just written to me saying that unless we come to an agreement for repayment they are going to recommence proceedings against me - are they able to do this? |

Thank you for your response. The last payment on the account was made in July 2004 but the default was registered in Nov 2004 so has since been removed from my credit file last November. However, when they were going through the process I emailed them and made them an offer in June 2010 which would have been one month before the end of the 6 years (I didn't know this this!) So, before the court date I was obviously nervous that this could start the clock ticking again but they didn't turn up. Now it's dismissed but unsure if they are able to recommence proceedings now?

but of course if they come up with new evidence that changes the status of the debt then possibly yes |

Are these the same creditors for the same debts? If so and they were statute barred then they cannot pursue you for the debts.
