Still getting pestered by Lowell Financial Ltd

Options
This letter is from 10,12,10 after I sent them a letter RE a debt I don't acknowledge

due to non payment of the above sum we have been instructed by macenzie hall limited, to collect this debt on there behalf.

an authorised collector will make a visit to your property within the next 10days

should our collector inform us that no positive commitment towards clearing the debt has taken place, your account will be returned too this office and a formal proceedings may be considered

if you do not want our collector to call and would rather arrange a settlement with us you must contact us immediately.

should you fail to make a payment and action is taken additional costs maybe added to your debt.

we look forward to hearing from you, we will not send another reminder.

    What sort of debt - cc, bank account etc?

    Do you think it is even yours? Or do you have no idea?

    How old is the debts? When did you last pay anything?

    What exactly did you put in your letter to them?
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing
  • Mobile contract with vodafone.

    I really don't know if it was mine? Or if it even is mine?

    And it must be about 7years old

    And my first letter stated I didn't acknowledge the debt etc it was the template off here asking for proof etc it was mine like contracts etc.

    I never received them so they sent me another one saying they were sending a bailiff around so I sent them this.....

    If you have not paid anything to Vodaphone (this account or any other) in the last 6 years, this debt is probably statute barred provided you have avoided any recent acknowledgement in you letters.

    Send an SB letter. I assume you are in England?
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing
  • Whats SB mean?

    Yes I live in England.

    The only acknowledgement they have had is letters from me wanting proof off them.

    read Tixy's post

    If its your debt then its almost certainly statute barred (6years of no payments and no written acknowledgement from you that you owe the money and assuming you were never taken to court).
    Either send back the prove it letter for some proof of the debt, or considering the age send the hybrid don't think its my debt and if it is it would be statute barred letter.

    Thank you for your correspondence the contents of which we not

    Please note we are instructed as agents for Lowell Financial Ltd we are currently acting on instructions of our client, our client is under a duty to report the management of the account to the credit reference agencies and we believe THAT you contested to this when you entered the agreement.

    We can confirm that the debt relates to an outstanding vodafone account our clients position is that the balance is lawfully due and we having reviewed the account DENY any harrasment.
