make sure you get a reciept and a letter confirming its paid

Just pay it - it'll more hassle than you can imagine if you don't, then you can forget it.

Well done. That's one less thing that you have to worry about.

thank you guys... just one more question, what happens if i do not get a receipt or a confirmation that it was full and final settlement?

do you think its likely to happen?

gettingitsorted

if you have not had any written conformation within a week then just ring them back and give them a firm reminder that you are still waiting for a letter stating that the debt is settled .

Right - perspective check.

Firstly, a debt collection agency for Amazon probably work on a contingency basis, i.e. they keep a percentage of whatever they collect. Say they get 30%, its not worth wasting too much time on is it? They may well abort the account back to Amazon, but they may in turn bounce it round every debt collection agency in the country!

If they went to court, which granted is unlikely, a claim form can be validly served at the last known address, so this is not necessarily a way out.

If I was you I would dispute the debt properly, i.e. write to the DCA (Red Castle Recoveries?) and explain why you dispute the debt. Chances are they will refer it back to Amazon for them to deal with.

i was going to suggest ring them and offer them a settlement figure... too late!
