    Ok. Slow down.

    Several things.

    They are after you for a debt in your Maiden name correct? Over six years old?

    If so, when did you last acknowledge this debt in writing or make a payment?

    Have you received any letters from them?

    Alternative number is 0113 306 0660 and LINK to their website BUT if you do contact them make sure everything is in writing as DCAs have a habit of putting words in your mouth or backtracking on verbally agreed payments:mad::mad:
    if the debt is over 6yrs old it might be their last ditch attempt to get money off you before it can be written off?? Not 100% sure about that but I'm sure the more experienced DFWers will be able to advise you more about it:)
