Letter from 2f Wescot Credit Services

linky

Hi, just received a letter, it's like a wage slip, from Wescot. It's asking me to call them, doesn't say why - gives a ref number. Can anyone advise what this might be for, I don't have any debts, nothing outstanding- only thing I can think of is a parking ticket we got about a year ago from a private car park, i sent them a letter at the time telling them we would not pay as we had gone into the carpark twice that day, they were saying we had stayed all day - never heard anything from them, could it be from them? and what should I do? Credit score basically 100% 
Any advice would be appreciated.

OP: Wescot are a debt collector, regardless of the "Credit Services" in their name, so ignore them and file the letter like twhitehousescat said.

Westcott dont deal with parking tickets. Often deal with things like telecoms debts and other low value stuff.they also not a debt buyer (if memory serves correctly)

Westcott (if it is a parking ticket) are pointless and powerless ..... Ignore and see what happens.
Don't contact them, nothing they can do

I'm going to disagree with others here. By all means call them (as long as its not a premium rate number) but do so simply to tell them to put down in writing what they want from you. I find it's always better to know what you are facing, even if that is a request for money that has no basis. 

As long as the phone call is simply "put down in writing what you want from me" you'll be fine.

Waste of time phoning westcot ....

I don't have any debts, so it must be the parking ticket???? 
Thanks everyone - think I'll ignore!
