First Anniversary Combo Breaker
I got a Debt Collector notice come through yesterday, this is the first I've heard of this case. As far as we were aware, the flat in question was left with all bills paid. We've been with Southern Water in two places since, and have had no notice of this debt.

Attached a pic of the letter, with personal details blurred out.

I don't really know what the best next step is. How can I ask for proof? Where do we stand, and what's the best next step to take?

Many thanks in advance.

    Others with more knowledge will be on.

    I'd politely tell them it's over 6 years old and statute barred
