    If the solicitors letter went to the old address then email their DPO too, and get it erased.

    Just wanted to ask about this letter. I have read the above post and its reassuring but i just wondered what tends to happen with these? Do you get a certain number of letters then a court letter? Will they give up? Will they be stubborn and press on? The thought of it is a bit stressful.
    I thought we'd been forgotten about as we hadn't head anything for 7 months and this just showed up.

    A boring debt collector's letter. The clue is it only gives you fourteen days to respond.

    The fourth post of the NEWBIES thread explains exactly how to deal with debt collector's letters, but to summarise that post - ignore them.
