Re: credit card

I had two credit cards on my name and had settled them way back in 2004-2005. Last week I got a call from a recovery agency saying there was a huge oustanding on these two cards. I told them i have settled the two cards many years back. They said no settlement was done on the two cards. 
So I asked them why they have got up after so many years. They said they were tracking me since many years and i was untraceable. They tried sending letters to my residence regarding outstandings, but i never received any such letters.
My question is if i settled these cards, why wasnt the same updated in their system. When there was an outstanding few years back recovery guys were chasing me and i settled the outstanding on the cards. Post which i never got any calls and now they are refusing about any such settlements. 
Now the biggest problem is a lot of our documents were spoiled due to excessive rains during 2005.  And currently the documents are untraceable.
Kindly suggest what is the best way out of this as i do not wish to pay for something that i have not paid. I have sincerely paid, they have not updated their accounts, it is the banks mistake.

If the matter is more than 3 years old and in the interim you have not issued any communication acknowledging the debt then your lawyer may opine that it is barred by time.

 

However in this matter you must proceed under expert advice of your lawyer.

 

 

There are many threads on CC that you may find relevant e.g;
