Confusing letters from Gladstones

Hi all,

I received a letter from Gladstone’s stating I owed a large sum of money amounting to £560 or £630 I can’t quite remember as I was told to ignore it and throw the letter away so can’t recall the exact amount. That was a few months ago now and hadn’t received anymore letters until I got this one the other day, they seem to be sending them to my old address which is my parents and use the wrong name.

The latest letter is an LBC but states they’re only after £160 for some reason, can anyone help? I know a few of you are going to say “look here” or “look there” on different threads but I’m doing this thread because I’m getting easily confused with all the other threads so I could really do with it being dumbed down as that would be much appreciated

Thanks

    Is this related to your other thread?

    I did write there:

    When you get either a Letter of Claim or official court papers then post again on this thread.

    Please copy your above post on to that thread.

    Having done that, can you please then edit your post above so that it reads something like:

    Duplicate thread - please ignore.
  • Ah yes I wasn’t sure if it would be seen as much on that thread as I don’t get how the threads work but yeah I’ll do that now
  • Your not wrong about getting easily confused! I suspect you may have been told to ignore Debt begging letters and maybe even Gladrags BUT I'm 100% nobody would have told you to bin them! and then again why would you?


    You ignore and FILE! just in case you need to rely on whatever garbage is written on them at a later (possible court) stage.


    Having said all that, there are plenty of examples of rebuttal replies to LBC/LBCCC on here you can send to Gladys and her cronies, go to newbies and get reading.
