a little help..... arrow global ltd

smadams11

i received another letter today from arrow global ltd stating that i owe them £291, but not saying what for. i have been ignoring them for a few months as the letters didnt give any information and i dont believe i owe anyone any money.
anyway, i checked my credit report today-it says on the 29th june 2007 i placed a mail order for £35, and it has now shot up to £291-i guess because i have moved around alot and didnt get their letters.
i dont understand as i had no overdraft-if i tried to buy something mail order it would go through my bank, and if i had no money then the order wouldnt be placed-i know this as it has happened in the past to me.
also, due to the amount of time-can they do anything?
thank you
ps.im not trying to avoid a debt-i know that this isnt possible

Ask them to 'prove-it' or wait until you are sure it's statute barred.

If not paid in 6 years or acknowledged in writing its statute barred. As long as no CCJ.

Can ask to pay but not make you.

In any case, that sounds like lots of unreasonable charges added. Against OFT guidelines.

You could probably settle for the original amount with a DCA, especially if SB as they likely paid pennies for it.
