Old Bank Debts

[bobajob01]

I have been about contacted by a debt collection agency about a bank overdraft from 1997 this is the first contact I have had since 1999. they get quite assertive on the phone trying to get me to admit the dabt and make payment on it. do I have to pay this

Had you changed address without notifying them since 1999?

[bobajob01]

yes

I would imagine you'll end up paying it. You haven't said they're wrong and i think their system will prove quite easily that you owe the money.

google ''statute of limitation act''

[ummmm]

Statue of limitation means nothing if Bob has moved address without informing them.
