Then perhaps you can provide a template the OP can use and send to said council?
What, in relation to statue barring of the debt? You do realise the 6 year period doesn’t relate to debt age but to the period of time a creditor has to instigate legal proceedings?

As stated in my first post I said I needed full details but it’s likely an historic liability order was already in place....to get a liability order requires legal proceedings hence the statute of limitations is no longer relevant.

I find it hard to believe a local authority would even consider chasing a 19 year old debt that is statute barred. It’s a basic check.
Indeed, and councils are famous for always doing all the necessary checks on everything...

My girlfriend is very thankful to you all!

It turns out that the council has a liability order, but it is from 2012, so it seems like the council likes to make a move roughly every 10 years!
As Chrisgr31 said, they were unaware of this, and have only just found out.

They're going to get back on to the LA today and trying and get some more information.
