Orange // Moorcroft // Fredrickson International?

Options
Just wondering if someone can offer some advice really!

Yesterday I paid off a debt on full for an orange contract I took out in 2009. Paid it off in full yesterday online was only about £175 ish.

I paid this directly to Fredrickson International who have been chasing me for this debt. I then get home from work, and receive a phone call from a girl from Moorcroft, who starts telling me about a £213 debt which I have no idea about, obviously I queried this with her and she tells me this is for a Orange debt then tells me the mobile number this is for….. it turns out its for the same debt that I paid in full the same day! (But for some reason higher? which she couldnt explain why as its currently on my credit report for £175)

So obviously I explain to her I have paid Fredrickson International today, which she seemed very shocked about and didn’t know anything about Fredrickson and obviously asked for proof off payment which I sent to them via Fax this morning (as I paid online).

Anyways to the point, I have called the lady this morning to see if she received it OK and that everything was now sorted and she has told me they will still be persuing the debt as I should have paid them basically, can then do this?? I know obviously it shouldn’t have got the the debt stage and I did gain a default from it but do I really have to pay them aswell when I have sent them proof of payment and also paid for the debt in full now??

Anyways hope this makes sense


TIA!
