CCS Debt Collectors Letter

Simoba

Hi All,

Hopefully somebody can help us with a situation that we have here please. Today my parents have received another letter (3 received in the last month now) from the above named company, which apparently states that I owe £345.95 to Aktiv Kapital First Investment Ltd. I find this rather bizarre as I have been mainly living overseas for a decade and certainly do not have any outstanding debts. I have never even heard of either of these companies?!

My concern is that they will turn up at my parents house and start putting pressure on them and making them feel uncomfortable (they are in their late 70's and not in the best of health) and pressurise them into paying money that is not due.

Do I email these CCS people and tell them that I have been overseas for a decade and that the debt cannot be mine, ask for proof etc, or do I just ignore them and hope they do not turn up and start hassling my folks. Even if this debt was mine, which it is not, I have not been in the UK since 2002 on a permanent basis, so would this not be statute barred if before that time?

I need to resolve this for the sake of my parents so they do not worry, however I am not sure if I should contact these delightful people or just ask my parents to return to sender any letters? But if they turn up at the door, what should they say?

Thank you so much for any kind assistance that anybody can help us with, it is much appreciated.

Both companies are just debt collectors.

Combined prove it and statute barred letter in this link. ---> http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=34906257&postcount=5

As you say, even if it was yours then it would be statute barred anyway, so perhaps the 2nd of those.

If you decide to send anything anyway.

Unlikely that anyone will turn up, but you can never say 100%.
