Bill from 02 saying I owe £18.50 from 4 years ago!

Hi,
Today I received a letter from 02 stating that they have been checking records and I have an outstanding amount of £18.50 from a phone that was disconnected on 12/09/2005!
The letter states that I can ring an 0844 telephone number but this never gets answered, there is also another number that I can ring, which is the debt collecters to make payment (I haven't rung these yet).
Where do I stand on this as there is no way I can prove that this was or was not paid and I would have paid by direct debit so surely it would have been settled at the time.
Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like they have handed over a load of old data from their system to a debt collection agency. More than likely you ceased the account and stopped you Direct Debit and then you had a final bill, which possibley remained un paid.
I would dispute it with the Agency first and get them to send a copy of the invoice in question. Also you may need to check your credit rating has not been damaged due to this unpaid invoice....:eek:0 -
