    they can send you twaddle like that till the cows come home.

    at the end of the day its still their responsibly to prove its owed. which they obviously cant. their problem. not yours.

    More threats and now saying logging a default against my name on credit file!!!!

    Bob kingdon has now said:

    "My understanding is that we are reporting this unpaid debt to the relevant credit bureaus, as we are obliged to do, (see attached for information held with ‘Call Credit’)."

    ....

    "We have updated credit data based upon information provided to us by the original creditor."

    I said they are not legally allowed to place a default on my credit rating until proven debt... he replied:


    "I disagree with your interpretation of the law."

    thanks i have now wrote to them
  • Wouldnt it be a whole lot easier to simply send the proof you paid it by bank transfer? Easy enough to get a copy of your statements.

    Getting credit data removed is very difficult.

    Make sure to print out your credit file now, in case they alter it.

    EDIT: I see they already have altered it.

    That'll teach me to read the whole thread, before posting. :o
