Three sold a debt on a closed account!?!?!
In 2004 I had a mobile phone contract with Three, as we all know, back then the service from three was diabolical. Because of this I cancelled the contract on the basis that they were not supplying what I was paying for.
Shortly after I got correspondence from a debt collection company and I explained the situation to them, they checked with Three and closed the account.
On saturday I received a call from HSO Services, a factoring company who had bought my "Debt", they spent about five minutes telling me I would lose my job and home should I not pay £200, in short I told them to p**s off and to send me a copy of the recorded conversation as I did not agree with thier guerilla tactics.
Has anyone had this before, and do they have a case?
Thanks in advance!:money:

It might be an idea to post this on the Debt Free Wannabe board as well.
