Roxburghe Texts.

I'm still receiving texts from roxburghe 'debt collectors' demanding that I ring them. I've had maybe 4 txts now...do they ever get the message and give up? How long does this last?

Thanks.

    When I get similar texts from those "you could be be owed money for a mis-sold PPI" clowns, I just reply with "Foxtrot Oscar".
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?

    Not really, and up to six years.
