Mackenziehall chasing for really old debt

Hi All,

Received two letters in today's post from CONNECT in Kilmqrnock but the contact details relate to a company called Mackenziehall.

They state I owe monies relating to a debt with Barclaycard and that the original pursuer was Cabot Financial Ltd. One debt is for £1692.20 and the other is for £1183.47.

I went BR on 3rd March 2010 and included all of my creditors and doubled checked all three CRF's to ensure I didn't miss any of them. I know for a fact that I have not had any debt with Barclaycard since I have lived at my current address, and I've lived here for nearly 9 years.

What should I do?

Should I phoned them and ask them to prove the debt or just forward their letters to my OR and explain that I do not know anything about these debts.

It might be a really old debt but the last time I had anything to do with Barclaycard would have been over 15 years ago!!!!!

Any advice would be a great help.

Thanks,

David

    Hi David, Yes send these letters to the OR with a covering letter. They are covered in your BR x

    Hi ifwishes,

    Many thanks for the advice. I spoke with my OR today and emailed over copies of the letters and they are just going to include the debts in my BR. I have also written to the old debts with a copy of my BR Notice.

    Hopefully, that will be an end to it.

    THanks again,

    David
