If you do contact Lowells then you should include a sentence to the effect the letter in no way acknowledges ownership of any debt.God save the King!
I'll save Winston Churchill, Jane Austen, J. M. W. Turner and Alan Turing.0 -

More fool you for paying lowells the well known thieves and even more stupid to pay them on the door.For everthing else there's mastercard.
For clampers there's Barclaycard.0 -
thanks for that! just rang them and the guy on the phone told me that what the collector done at the door was against the law and if it got took to court it would get thrown out because of what he had done!0

Been to CAB today & the advisor sounded well aware of lowell. They are going to contact lowell asking for proof of the debt. He doesn't think I'll hear from them again as when he's looked at the letter from lowell & my credit report that shows up the default the dates don't match!
How long do lowell have to send me proof of the debt?0
