    Be prepared for Lowells to try to pass off some random dates as proof of payment or acknowledgement as well. They have a history of making things up.

    Thanks fat belly x

    So two weeks before hand, they should send everything to me that they plan to use? So surely if its SB then they have to provide evidence that it isnt?

    You can add a sworn affidavit that you have not made any payments or acknowledgements to this alleged debt .
