    Right, so they're acting as debt collectors?

    Literally a quick google and they offer a fixed fee debt collection service.

    Why not just ring them up and ask for copies of the invoices?

    Are you sure that you were not charged for this once already by the letting agent? You don't want to double-pay.

    The agent may be able to release your details in connection with certain types of legal action, even without permission. But given that you were not a party to the case (or so it would appear) then this may well not apply. I would do a bit more research but not ignore the prospect of a data protection complaint.

    For some reason it even sounds like the invoicing company lost their case against the agents. You might want to find out why that was; it may be the invoices were never valid in the first place; maybe the work was never even done, or done by them.
