    Its more DISAPPOINTING to see pond life trying to do anything to get out of paying their bills.

    Disgusting. At what point does the OP say they KNOW they definitely owe the money ? I am as against people weaseling out of debts as the next person but in this case, surely the benefit of the doubt has to be give to the OP and not insults thrown at them ?

    There is a reasonable question here as to whether or not the OP should provide additional information about themselves (previous addresses) before seeing proof that they owe the debt.

    My thoughts are that a general enquiry about previous addresses sounds like fishing to me and I'd ignore the letter. However, if they have asked for 3 previous addresses and the OP actually has 3 different addresses then they probably have the right person. That is probably worth replying to.

    Blimey, there certainly are some 'orrible folks on here!!

    My Advice to you OP is ignore the replys that refer to you as 'pond life' etc (how rude)! and I'm sure someone who knows the answer to your question will be along soon.

    Good luck!

    I disagree. The OP states that there is a £51 debt owed to Wescott, and that he is refusing to pay it on principle?! That is the disgrace.

    If he stated that he had paid the bill to 02 and owed nothing, then i'd agree, he is a victim.

    The OP set the tone in this thread, not those who have replied. The only victims of people who dont pay their debts on time are the rest of us who do, with higher all round APR and tighter lending controls.
