I am an International Student and i have got no idea what the heck is this letter about, although it has my name in it.

Letter :

I am staying at the address and my name is correct BUT i have no recollection of debt. Is this a legal proceeding against me? I am just a student over in UK and i do not want any of these to affect my record whatsoever. What is this letter about? Any advise on what should be done?

Thanks!!

Debt Collecting Agencies trawl databases looking for debtors who have gone away and re-surfaced elsewhere. Such letters are then sent to the new address or sometimes the address of someone with the same name or fits the profile.

Your choice on what to do. Either ignore it or phone them to try and sort it out.

Also get copies of your credit reports to see what has been put against your name.

From what I've read on these boards DO NOT PHONE THEM!!!!

They're an unscrupulous bunch by all the accounts.

Bin the letter, they're looking for anyone they can bamboozle into paying debts, whether or not they're theirs or valid.
