Wescot letter for my sister!

lukemed1

Hi everyone,

yesterday I got home from work and waiting for me on the doormat was a letter from Westcot debt collection agency for my sister who doesn'nt even live with me!

what should I do tell them myself or let my sis do it?

best wishes

send it back 'does not live here return to sender' and keep doing it.

If they call or visit they will eventually twig that you are a male:)

Emmzi's right. Return the letter stating not at this address. Don't give in to their tactics and certainly don't try and engage with them by phone.

Do you know, there have been so many posts reporting this problem recently with DCAs trying speculative approaches to finding the people they are after. What's happening??!?

this happened to me once.. but it was mail for my dad!! who ive never lived with!!!

i rang the dca (cant remember what one soz) and was told it was likely that they had traced me on the electrol role and tried their luck at locating him!!! (being that we have the same intial and surname)
btw i told them i didnt know who the addresse was but that they had the same surname.

they said they would alter their records ect ect but i recieved a further three letters just kept sending them back not known at this address then i moved so no idea if they still sending them..

might be worth a quick phone call actually you said it was westcot dont phone just send letters back not known at this address!!!

I had the same for my mum who lives in spain, sent it back, got 5 more. So then I emailed them and said that if they made contact with me again that I would do them for harassment, low and behold a week later they turned up on my door step and wanted to see a passport, a utility bill and tenancy agreement to prove I was who I was :mad: They then went and knocked on every door in my row to find out where my mum was, and that I was who I was :mad:

It was very embarrasing, all my neighbours came round to tell me what they were doing. They did let on that they were a debitor but not what my mum owed or who too.

It was only for about £10 or so as well :rolleyes:

So, did you show them? I think I'd have been particularly unhelpful at this point.

Passport? No, I haven't got one. Utility bills? No, sorry, I chuck 'em in the bin. Tenancy agreement? Sorry, what's that? I'm not sure what you mean.

Then I'd have let them watch me go to the pub. :beer:

I had two kids biting my ankles, I didnt have the time to be akward, although normally I would be. Just took my time getting them while they were outside in the rain
