Mackenzie Hall - Advice Please

Can anyone help me?

I have recieved a letter from Mackenzie Hall saying they are looking for me to discuss a personal matter. Their is no indication of what the personal matter is. After doing my research I have found out that they collect old debt from 6+ years ago.

Can anyone advise the best way to deal with these people or has anyone had an experience with them so I can get the heads up on what to do?

Do I pay up or fight the battle as its over 6 years ago and should have been written off?

Thanks
H.

    If it's over 6 years there is no "battle" as such, you just write to them telling them politely to sod off! :)
    I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂

    Yep, send the the barred letter, just serach for it and check they haven't got a CCJ against you for it. If they have, then it's pay up time.

    What is the barred letter? I have checked my credit report and I don't have any CCJ'S on there.

    Thanks for your help!!

    But to be honest, until they write to you clearly saying what it is about, I would probably ignore them.

    They may just be looking for somebody with the same/similar name.

    Mackenzie Hall that a lot. Send out "fishing" letters to multiple people for the same debt, hoping that one will "bite".
