I think I've seen on a few other threads that they send out loads of cards 'fishing' for a bite, and this usually is for an old debt. They'll look up the electoral register and other public information for names.
Sit tight and don't respond. Other than that totally agree with Fermi and just wait for the follow up that probably won't arrive.0 -
If it is genuine such as an old missed utility bill or something, then they should have the decency to write properly and explain.
If it is genuine then they will. If they are fishing then they will probably look for a 'bite' elsewhere.Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB

It good be for an old utility account but don't do anything at the moment. As we've all said, just sit tight and see what happens. Lowells are well known for this - just search the forum and you'll probably see that.
Don't worry about them. If you get any more correspondence from them, then post back on here.

If they had any decency in the first place then they would not act like they do. If it is an old utility bill they could have written to previous address. But as Fermi has advised sit tight and see what happens next. Good luck hun and dont fret too much about it.Night Owl Member No 1 :rotfl: :rotfl:

Oops! Didn't mean to suggest that Lowells had any decency at all. :eek:
That would be completely and utterly untrue.

Thank you everyone for your help and information. Will throw it away and forget about it and wait to see if they actually do have anything on him.
Really appreciate the help and reassurances0
