lowell and old O2 phone bills

Options
ok I have received a bill for £22 from lowell ..i know they are scammers!.....I have done a fair bit of research and think this is statute barred, my question is are there any template letters i can use as there is not a credit agreement for phone contracts ..what can i legally request from them..ps. i paid O2 off in full


thanks

    Don't be too specific. Request proof of the debt.
  • i was thinking that, but i wondered what legally they must have to produce?

    Whats the point if its Statute Barred?
    If the debt is old enough, just send the SB letter and stuff 'em.

    To be fair, if you didn't bother to pay your O2 bill, you are a scammer aswell.

    The OP said...
    ...think this is statute barred
    So when the OP gets proof, he will know whether or not it is statute barred.

    It is not illegal to open another persons mail unless you intend to commit fraud - this is frequently incorrectly posted:)
    I live in my head - I find it's safer there:p
