DCA Advice Needed

Hi

DLC is constantly ringing my old mobile number and leaving voicemails asking me to call 'today before close of business quoting ref ...'.
They've left 5 voicemails in the past month, but haven't yet written to me. I have debt problems and DLC were dealing on behalf of EGG before EGG sold my debt to another DCA, so now I don't know why they're contacting me again. Suffice to say I have disputed debts with MBNA, Capital One and Smile which are all approaching their 3 year anniversary, and another with Black Horse which has been with FOS for 2 years.

Should I continue to ignore these contacts or should I write to them?

Thanks

    If it is your old mobile number - presumably meaning that you currently use another and the old number is now on PAYG - why are you bothering?
