5 years ago Niddy gave me tremendous help with accounts with Halifax and Yorkshire Bank. I don't think they are quite statute-barred yet so I'm not completely safe, but I have heard nothing for a long while so I'm hopeful that's 27 grand I'll be relieved of.
I have a third account taken out before the relevant date, with Lloyds, but for some reason did not send it to Niddy along with the others. Perhaps I felt I had already imposed on him enough, as indeed I had!
The trouble is this. I have been reading through the forums carefully for the last couple of days and keep seeing references to Lloyds mucking things up, but it rather looks to me that Lloyds have singled me out to do everything by the book. Does anyone else have experience of Lloyds getting every detail right?
A further possibility has crossed my mind. After Cabot/Merlin took over the debt they started calling me every day, usually at 8 a.m. or 8 p.m., right at the limits of acceptable timing. They would finish every call with "the calls will continue." That suggests to me they were in breach of The Protection from Harassment Act 1997 and furthermore they knew it. In fact I think it was an essential part of their business model. Could that be relevant in any defence?
