Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place to post about his...
OH just got a letter from TELOGRAM saying that they are holding a message for him and to contact them (01252 number). He has dodgy debt past (before me) and I wonder... Anyone had anything similar?
Will go try and search on google.

From what I know, this is a ruse to try and get you to confirm your identity and/or address so you can be pursued for a debt.Official DFW Nerd Club - Member No.11.

I wouldn't contact them and just bin the letter, if they ever come back to you just say you didn't receive the letter. It sounds as if they might have a very old debt which might be close to 6 years. Which if it was they might need you to admit to the debt first before they can pursue you.

Another website said that this seems to be a set of solicitors who specialise in debt collection. When you call them it confirms that they have the correct details and then they send in the debt collectors.
I'd ignore it if I were you.

Sounds very like debt collection to me, and very similar indeed to a letter I recieved from Npower.
Personally, Id just face up to it, give them a ring. I was a bit scared when I got it, but I called up and it was Npower saying I owed them 40 quid. Id already sent the cheque so It was better to know what it was than batten down the hatches. It'll come for you one day, better to face the music IMHO.:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most?

letters with just ring this number on should be ignored if they have something to say let them do it properly by letter and explain there issue with0

I would like to deal with it, but it is OH's debt and therefore his right to decide, however, like you have said Lone Ranger, if they have something to say, just say it.
I am scared that if we do make contact, then they all will. I have no idea how much is owed as it was all from quite a while before we got together.CCCS DMP:Feb 07

I had one like this once, many years agao. I phoned from a call box as we were too poor for phone etc back then & it was a debt sold by videotron they were chasing about. We didnt actually owe the money but videotron were notorious for never getting their sums right. Ignor & save the cost of a phone call.

I think scared of finding out about more debt that you have that you cant get out of. I feel facing up to these letters ( and some of them are incorrect, lets face it, how many threads are there.. "DCA chasing a debt thats not mine") can often reduce stress and not add to it. I like to shine light in dark places where I can though
