Need advice

Hi everyone,
I am just looking for a bit of advice.
I have debt from an old overdraft that the bank tried to force me to pay when they closed my account because I reclaimed charges back from them. I am not in the position to pay this and told them this but they passed it on to debt collectors and a solicitors.
I used nationaldebtline to write them a budget sheet showing I have no money left over and a letter asking them to write it off.
I recieved a letter from the solicitors saying that nationwide had intructed them to take no further action. This was about 3 months ago.
Today I recieved a letter from a different debt collection company for the same debt
They let me believe that they had written it off :mad:
What should I do? Keep sending letters?

do you still have the letter from the previous company saying Nationwide had instructed them to take no further action? Do you think they'd go away if you sent them a copy? (It would seem reasonable, but I have no experience here...Someone more knowledgable will be along soon no doubt)0

I'm wondering if I shoudl write to nationwide, the DCA or both
