Debt agency letter from Netherlands

Posts: 110 Forumite
Hi
i have just picked up the post this morning and opened a letter addressed to me, Its from a debt agency in Netherlands they are stating that I owe a holiday company in Netherlands money....(I have never been on holiday to the Netherlands) I looked at the site of the people I supposedly owed the money to and remembered that last year I went on the site to request a quote to hire a caravan but never booked anything.
What do I do now?
They say I need to pay the debt by 9.2.12
I cant believe this...we are just hauling ourselves out of debt as it is and we are getting married in August. We cannot afford to be paying debts that aren't ours!!
I have tried to ring the company but they are ringing off the hook.
So upset by this!!

Could you post what the letter contains? It could help people work out whether it's perhaps fraudulent or for a service you didnt receive
Sorry I can't help more

more to the point remind them that you under uk lawDon't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0

Tell them where to go as you have not confirmed a contract with anybody, have you?0

I just got a similar letter and I never officially booked anything either!? I'm in the U.S., and I can't figure out if I should just ignore this because it seems ridiculous or really worry about it. Thoughts?0
