Ok...I am now officially losing it with the above!!! Over a year ago we cancelled our contract with AOL and recieved a MAC code to enable us to change our internet providers. This was done without any hassle and we thought no more about it...
Around 2 months ago we started to recieve letters from Roxburghe demanding money stating that we owed AOL for broadband and that AOL had passed the debt to them......We never received a single call or letter from AOL and the letters from Roxburghe all have the wrong address on them (as in one we have never given AOL....just a hash of our address, mispelt but as we are so rural, it would manage to get here)
We contacted AOL, who have apologised profusely and stated that they would cancel the debt and that we owed no money, also giving us a code to give to Roxburghe should they hassle us again.....well we thought that was the end of it....So when they wrote again, we gave them the code and asked them to call AOL.....End of it? Not a chance!!
Today we got a letter from this so called solicitors demanding money or else the bailiffs are calling.....I am absolutely furious...Where do we go from here????
