    Just wait a couple of years, and it'll all start up again when those debts are sold onto another company. That's what's happened here - I spent the first two years contacting companies and explaining that the former owner had done a flit. Two years of peace, and now she's getting loads of post again - presumably because the debt has been sold on. We've given up, they go straight into the bin.



    not in my case it didn't, although I am referring to mid 1995, so not sure if that makes a difference?


    Oh Actually I moved out early 1997, so maybe it restarted after I moved?
