    And, logically, there is nothing stopping them doing just that even if the OP makes no reply.

    Logically there is !
    It is called
    COST
    It costs money to write letters and post them and make phone calls and you are far more likely to harass someone you know will dialogue with you as you know you have the right person for the right debt.
    Even the most determined stale debt shark has a budget, an amount he can afford to spend chasing someone who ignores them because they known you can not take you to court.
    Now where would you spend your budget ? on people ignoring you or those writing to you ?
    If that is not logical nothing is ?

    A lot of people on here confuse these stale debt sharks with legitimate companies, they are not, a stale debt shark is a back bedroom chancer with a mailbox address who purchases old credit files from companies that advertise in places such as exchange and mart.

    link financial operate from someones back room do they?

    you already have !
    And at the same time just made one of the most stupid mistakes you will ever make, one that you will spend many long hard days wishing you had listened.
    I know what coming your way now you have written to these sharks.
    Get ready....:eek:

    Excellent result - well done.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.

    Never ever enter to any dialogue with debt collectors, they have no real power in situations like this, what vax was saying is 100% correct. The debt collectors are a lying bunch of low life scumbags, it's that simple!
    Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
    They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
    Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?
