Scam Or Not

Just had a letter saying we are owed money and they will retreve it for us. But noticed several years ago the same company was doing the scam then. So thought I would let you know they are up to the same tricks as before. But also they have committed data protection by sending out a letter with name and date of birth on, not knowing if we live at this address. The company works from Huntingdon, Cambs. The so called money we owed was back in 2003,can we find out ourselves if this legit or not?

    If you have a complaint, make it direct to the lender.

    The company won't be a scam, just very poor value. 

    And data protection isn't something that is committed.  It's a concept based on a set of regulations. There's no breach of those regulations by sending you a letter in itself.
