LSCDR Debt Collectors Chasing Me For £75 From EDF But Is This Even My Debt?
Comments

Its not a lot of money, and of course the OP should do all they can to mitigate this escalating, but I`d rather rip up £20 notes and feed them to the seagulls on our local harbour than pay a company like LCS one penny @ManyWays, but I guess that`s just me.ManyWays said:yes I would agree with all that if you are contacted about an old debt or one you do not recognise.
But this debt is NOT statute barred. And they haven't got the wrong name. They will definitely be able to find your name to take you to court. Legally you owe this. And people are sued for small amounts of money like this.
Up to you if you want to waste your time & theirs being difficult about paying this.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings, and Bankruptcy and living with it boards.
